    I dont see what you have to complain about. You have an endowment which has paid off the mortgage and provided a small surplus.

    Investment returns today cannot be compared with 20 years ago because we dont have the same economy or inflation as we did back then. In real terms you are much better off than had those conditions persisted.

    Be happy your endowment did what it was designed to do. I am sure many out there wish theirs would end up like yours.

    No need to ring and offer them the surplus, you get to keep that on top of the mortage being cleared. You must have been very pleased!
