Help !

I've just been advised of a shortfall in my endowment policy which should mature in July. I have a fixed term (12month) ISA at 3.64% which matures at end of Jan and need to either reinvest or retain some to pay mortgage shortfall. It seems a double whammy to spend my capital which earns money to pay off a badly advised investment venture 25 years ago. Can anyone give me some ideas to get the best out of this ?

    Are you sure this the first notice you have had of a potential shortfall, what forecasts have the endowment company been sending over the past 25 years ...and how big is the shortfall going to be ?

    It is normal procedure for the endowment company to send out statements as to how your policies are performing.
    Green,Amber or Red I believe are used.

    It is difficult to understand how "You've just been advised of a shortfall in my endowment policy"

    as Tony has already said, are you sure this the first notice you have had of a potential shortfall ?
