my endowment" valuation form
A question that is often asked is "what happens if I
stop my endowment policy?"
The answer is that the first thing will be that the direct
debit for the monthly (or annual) premiums cease to come out
of your bank account, and at about the same time, the life
assurance company will write to you to warn you of the course
of action and its outcome.
When premiums are stopped the policy can only maintain its
life assurance element by "dipping in to" the policy fund and
financing them that way.
This means that with no new premiums going in, and the fund
being "milked" to maintain the life element, there is a real
risk that the policy will go in to reverse (in terms of its
investment value).
If the policies fund is milked dry, then the life assurance
ceases.
Before that time, though, the chances are that the
endowment policy will have been surrendered or sold (if it is
a viable investment for the traded endowment policy buyers and
dealers).
If the endowment policy is surrendered then the policy
holder receives the cash surrender value, the life assurance
ceases and that is the end of that.
If the endowment policy is sold on the traded endowment
policy market (TEP Market) then the new owner maintains the
premiums, the life assurance continues, but if the "life
assured" dies (you) the new endowment policy owner gets the
life assurance paid to them, and not your beneficiaries or
estate.
Obviously, when the policy matures in the future, the new
owner gets all the cash.
Endowment policies that are selling are the "with profits"
type of endowment that have been running for quite a number of
years, with all endowment premiums paid to date.
The information on this web site is intended as
"information only" and should not be taken as "advice".
If you are unsure about what to do, if anything, about your
endowment policy, you should consider taking advice from an
independent financial adviser who is regulated by the
Financial Services Authority
