It seems that endowment letters, currently being sent to the hapless owners of the failing endowment mortgage policies, may not reflect reality.
The ConsumersÂ’ Association is worried that the calculations that may not reflect the true financial position.
The letters that will be dropping on peoples' floors shortly, will show that the expected shortfalls have increased. However, because unrealistic returns of 6% are being used in the calculations, these figures are more than likely too optimistic.
The current asset mix held by life assurers is more heavily weighted towards bonds,whichh have a 4% yield.
Hardly good news for the hapless home owner with an endowment mortgage.
Don't despair the FSA says that it is keeping its eye on things.
Well that's alright then, isn't it?
