Edowment Advice

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can provide advice on an Eagle Star (Zurich) with profit endowment I took out a number of years ago. It was originally linked to a mortgage but after hopelessly underperforming and after advice from a financial advisor 6 years ago I have kept it on to be used as a University fund for my daughter on maturity.
Here are a few details:
Started Oct 1990 – Maturity Oct 2015
£140 month premium
Surrender value has increased from £23,519 (Jan’07) to £25,386 (Sept’07)
Basic Sum Assured £25,029
Guaranteed min death benefit £58,000
Total reversionary bonus £6,467
BTW - I have not been able to sell it on or get miss-selling compensation.
Would I be better off cashing in and putting into a savings account? Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
The endowment is not now linked into a mortgage.
Maturity illustrations are as follows:
3% = £39,100
3.75% = £41,200
5% = £44,600
