Owning shares that were bought a while ago or inherited

Has anyone here had issues with shares that were inherited and previously owned when starting a job in asset management/hedge funds?

The firm that I'm about to join has a policy that bans any name stock investment, but here the situation is such that the shares were either inherited or purchased a while ago before I began my career in finance.

I posted in the hedge funds sub-forum previously but didn't get any responses, so thought I would post here.

Thank you.

i worked under a regional head who held their previous bank's stock from the 2007-08 crash onwards.. refused to sell because it was a holding they didn't touch (and it obviously compounds beautifully while giving you chunky dividend lol) they were unable to cover financial services as a sector but could keep their holdings.
