Selling Endowment Policies

Deciding when to sell your endowments is a decision that should be considered carefully based on several factors which will be explored further in this article. Your endowment policy should be taken very seriously to ensure that you get the best possible return from it.


Highly important to approach your decision from an objective viewpoint. Do not allow any emotions to affect the end result that you want to achieve.

An endowment policy in brief for those unfamiliar with what it is, is a life insurance contract designed to pay a lump sum after a specified term which is normally 10, 15 or 20 years up to a certain age limit. It is normally used to pay off a mortgage on maturity or if you die before the policy matures.

Over the specified period, the endowment should grow into a sum that enables the loan to be paid off in a lump sum at the end of the fixed term period.

There is no guarantee that the sum will cover the total cost of the mortgage interest at the end of the term. A life insurance policy is built into the agreement as security in case you pass away before completion.

The uncertainty of whether the cost of the loan can be covered resulted in many looking to sell endowments.

There is a lot of demand on the open market for people buying endowments. This fuels the desire to sell up especially for bad investments that clients no longer wants.

1) Selling endowment policies is full of dangers for those without the necessary skills.  In such situations, it is worth employing an independent financial company specialising in endowments to take care of your needs.  Choose a company with a good reputation and a well known brand.  Seek references from clients and talk to as many people as you can who have used that particular company.

2) Legal and administrative costs incurred by endowment sales can amount to quite a lot of money.  It is up to you to hold your chosen company to task and find out what those costs are.

3) Surrendering versus selling ?  Surrendering may be necessary but do so only after making a well informed decision. Leave nothing to chance.  There are disadvantages to surrendering including the lower return you will get compared to selling so do consider carefully. 

Lastly, selling is not so well known to people but they are quite appealing to investors in the open market looking at expanding their huge portfolios.  Choose wisely.
