Look at the with-profit possibilities

Article Abstract:

Secondhand endowment policies are offering attractive returns at a time when financial markets are in decline. The market for traded endowments is now worth 223 million pounds sterling a year in the UK, with more than 20 companies specializing in this product. It is possible to purchase secondhand endowments through investment trust which themselves invest in traded endowments, at auction or through market makers. Most investors choose a portfolio of policies, rather than buying a single policy.
