  • So, if the projected maturity value and the surrender value are almost the same it is a good idea to surrender and save £600 in premiums?

    That is not a reasonable comparison.

    The projection is meaningless and unreliable as it has no foundation in actual investment returns.

    TD101 - yes, there have to actually be unallocated profits to distribute, whether at surrender or maturity.
