you tell us, it was your investment
roughly speaking you made 20% on your original investment over 8 years
or ~2.5% per year. Someone smarter / with more time will calculate it properly for you.
Looking at current interest rates that would seem a good return
but given that rates were possible of above 5% iin cash isas in previous years, perhaps its not so good.
I'm ignoring the fact that you took out an investment with the understanding that returns are not guaranteed and dependent on markets etc0
