Losing financial assets as you progress through your life might not be as unusual as it sounds. Gone are the days when people had a “job for life”, staying with the same company from leaving school through to retirement. People are much more mobile these days and are likely to not only move job but move house several times throughout their lives. For example, there may be pensions from different employers or savings or investments which have been lost through time because the institutions holding these were not notified of something as simple as a change of address.
