Unclaimed Stocks and Bonds - Missing Mutual Fund Shares |

Commission estimates 3 million lost stockholders are
entitled to unclaimed stock worth $10 billion.
Additionally, $500 million in stock dividends and bond interest
payments go uncashed each year. A wave of corporate mergers,
acquisitions, restructurings, share spin-offs and name
changes has dramatically increased the amount of lost
stock and unclaimed dividends. If you're a stockholder in a company that merged or was acquired, you may be entitled to collect spin-off shares, cash distributions or dividends from the restructuring, even if shares were sold long ago. Former owners of AT&T, for example, may be eligible to receive shares in nearly a dozen other companies. Perhaps the largest source of unclaimed stock over the last several years has resulted from the recent demutualization of major life insurance companies, including Metropolitan Life (MetLife), Prudential, Equitable, MONY, John Hancock and others. Demutualization is the process of converting a mutual life insurance company, which is owned by its policyholders, into a publicly traded stock company owned by shareholders. Literally millions of policyholders and heirs aren't aware they are entitled to claim billions in demutualization compensation. Did a deceased relative invest in stocks or bonds? Were stock certificates lost or destroyed? In most cases they can be replaced. Even if a stock or mutual fund is no longer listed on an exchange do not assume it's worthless - shares may still have significant value, even if a company filed eventually filed bankruptcy.
