People in Northern Ireland seem to have the least provisions in place, with as few as 5.5 per cent having good life insurance and a will.
"While some of the results of this survey are encouraging, there is a real need for people in this age group to sort their financial lives out," F&C Investments'' head of global wholesale and marketing Scott Stevens.
He believes that retirement planning may also be an area where some 35 to 45-year-olds are failing to make adequate provisions.
Remember a Charity recently suggested that the concept of video wills is popular among a number of people.
