Old Endowment Policies

[jazz2303]

My father paid into an endowment policy for approx 2 years with General Portfolio back in the late eighties - had he continued to pay in the policy would have matured this year - as he paid in well in excess of �2,000 will he be due any money back and does anyone know how to trace the company?

Possibly. It probably became what was called a 'Paid Up' policy with future benefits locked after he stopped paying in. If so it would have had a value at maturity date.

I suspect General Portfolio is now part of Windsor Life.

It would have been made "paid up" so will have a value it depends on charges deducted and investment performance in the interim. Hard to say what he'll be due but the stock market has recovered in the last 2 years so he should get something noticable back. He can wait for maturity or call up now and ask for a value to get some indication.
