Canada sun life endowment policy - best way to see/surrender?

I have an endowment policy that I took out about 10 years ago (15 left), with my first house. It's no longer linked to my mortgage, and at present I am paying £63 per month. At the end of the term it's opposed to give me £37500.

To be honest after sitting looking at the figures, I think I would like to try and get rid of it, and use the money (hopefully about £7k??) touch better use?

I have absolutely no idea how to go about this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

    Is it unit linked, unitised with profits or with profits?

  • It's with profits and the actual figures as of feb 2010 are taken out feb 99, total surrender value £6368.27, and obviously have another 14 years left until maturity. (it also obviously has a life insurance value of £37500)

    Thanks

    Your options then are to either surrender or try to sell it.

  • Yes, that's what I thought, but I haven't got a clue about how to go about selling it, or even whether anyone would want to buy it?
