endowment making 111.07 %

I have just received a letter from Scottish Widows saying that my endowment growth rate from may 17th 2006 to may 17th 2007 is 111.07%

Could anyone explain ???

    Are they including the previous value in that. ie. the current value is 111.07% of last years value?

    Whilst they have some unit linked funds running in the 20% mark over the year they have nothing running at 111.07% as a rate of return.

    Is it a typo maybe? Do they mean 11.07%?

    Am I right in thinking that the amount invested from the endowment has been returned @ 111.07% therefore giving a profit of only 11.07% e.g invested income is returned on top of the profit

    Meaning that you receive back what they have invested as well as any profit made in the 111.07%?

    On the letter received it only states that the endowment growth rate from may 17th 2006 to may 17th 2007 is 111.07%.

    Sorry for this but I have just turned up to see the letter received from Scottish Widows and this is how I understand this.
