Help please - Extending endowment.

Hi, I have 3 endowments which are all due to mature next year.
I have made a claim and won against mis-selling and so no problems there.
I have sold the property that I took the endowments out on, so dont need the money just yet. Is it possible to extend the endowments for a few more years (3 - 5) and see if the stock market picks up. And if so is this worth doing. The total value of the endowments is only ablout £25k.
Many thanks.
Josey

    You cannot extend the term. However, on maturity you can roll the investment into unit trusts (unwrapped or within an ISA) and continue to be invested until you are ready.
