Is there any way to sell off an endowment plan, as I have recently converted to Islam and have been advised that Endowment plan that I have is not permissible?

I have recently converted to Islam & have been advised that Endowment plan that I have is not permissible. Just over year in, is there any way to sell it off? Or is the only way to surrender it?

Hi Anonymous,

Normally for endowment plans, we only consider those where at least 1/3 of the premiums have been paid. Hence the chances of us being able to buy-over yours is slim.

You may continue seeking advice from your financial advisor on what to do with your endowment plan.
