cashed in early if the buyer wants to surrender it and he can receives
the surrender value, the payout is determined by the insurance company,
it depends on how much the premium paid.

rates lower, but it covers the buyer death benefit and it has an early
maturity, the buyer will receive his premium payments upon maturity. The
maturity ranges from 10 years to 35 years, the shorter the period the
higher the premium.

is suitable for what people?
Endowment policy
is suitable for those who want coverage and at the same time can have
big saving, because the premium is high, but the amount is payable
within short term. Those who want to cash out the money in 10 or 20
years time, endowment policy could be their right choice.
Endowment policy
is one of the most recommended policies to young people with stable
income, because if a person at the age of about 20 or slightly more, and
financially he can afford a 50,000 of coverage with 10 years of term, he
can afford to make investment or start his own business at the age of
about 30s. If someone has a plan to start doing his business, he can
pull in some capital by buying an endowment policy early, and have the
maturity of policy at short term, this is a good planning to save money
and raise some funds for the future.
