Interest Rate Reduction

My Endowment (not linked to my current mortgage) is due to mature this coming May (with a shortfall!) - will the cut in the Interest Rates announced in yesterdays budget have any effect?

Doubt the rates would have an effect but COVID-19 would have more of an impact on the EndowmentI am a mortgage broker and IFA.

My endowment policy after 30 years is about to mature on the 19th March. It is a L&G With Profits. They have sent me a letter on the 22 Feb saying the amount payable is £x, however in the small print it says they can adjust this amount. Now we have had a crash will this be reduced ? If so surely there should be an option to defer and keep it going so I can ride out the storm?
Anyone know if this is possible? The policy is already well below the target it was supposed to get (shame I ever got it).0 -
Hi Whats_your_forte and thanks for your response - are you able to explain the impact of COVID-19 on the value of my Endowment please?
