    Similarly I have 2 endowments, sold to me by an IFA some years ago. Both are LegaL & General and expire in about 11 years. I am (assuming a 6% increase) going to be about 12k down. He as said to me no-one knows what is going to happen, it may go up or further down, sit tight and if all else fails when they do expire just take a mortgage for the 12k which in another 11 years wont cost hardly anything, sounds sort of logical, anyone any advice ?

    Look at the Which endowment website and the leaflets from the FSA.
