Income pure endowmentAn endowment plan which carries an option at maturity for the proceeds to be paid in the form of a regular income. In the event of the policyholder's death before maturity no benefit is payable.Similar MatchesLow cost endowmentLow cost endowmentDesigned to accumulate the sum needed to pay after a given period, usually for the purpose of paying off a mortgage. However there are no guarantees and investors may have to increase their premiums to build up enough to pay off their mortgage. Endowment insuranceEndowment insuranceA cash value life insurance policy with a fixed term. Premiums are applied to give life insurance cover for the face amount and at the end of the term the cash value will equate to the face amount and be payable. Endowment assuranceEndowment assuranceA fixed term life assurance policy in which provision is made for premiums to pay for life cover plus a savings/investment element. The policy pays out a sum of money (the sum assured) on the death of the life assured or at a specified date (the maturity date) if the life assured survives the term. If an endowment policy is encashed in its early years any proceeds returnable to the policyholder will normally be below the value of the premiums paid up to cancellation. Low start endowmentLow start endowmentThis is essentially the same as a low-cost endowment, but premiums begin at a lower level and gradually increase over a number of years - usually between five and ten. The initial premium can be significantly lower than the full premium, but never lower than half (which is a common starting point). Premiums may, for example, increase from 50% to 100% of the final value by 20% per year for 5 years or by 10% per year for ten years. This is another product designed to make it easier to budget over the first few years of home owning, when money is likely to be tighter for many people. As with most products that work this way, you generally have to pay for it in the long run. Non profit endowmentNon profit endowmentThis type of endowment guarantees repayment of the loan. There are no annual or final bonuses and you generally have no chance of a cash surplus on maturity. Essentially, there is no benefit other than life cover which is eaqual to the value of the mortgage you have ttaken out. This is seen as an inefficient method of saving the money to pay back and is therefore rarely recommended as a method of repaying a mortgage.
