More standard life shares questions!

[ssd]

We're getting 480 shares, we've got 2 endownments with SL and have had them for 15 years each.

I thought we'd get a lot more shares, has anyone got a lot or are we average?

I've got more - I've got a pension plan which is only owrth around £10k with them. Are your endowments all "with profts"?

yes they are with profits. I pay about £20 and £35 a month to both of them. Would this make a difference? Together they make £34000 cover.

We've got 1500, DH has a frozen pension plan with them. It's been frozen for about 10 years & it ran for about 10 before that.

would you get more with a pension than with 2 endownment policies?

can anyone help/explain this ??

How may did you get Ladymuck? DH's pension I think is worth about £27K but I wondered if because it was frozen it affected it.

my endownments are woth more than your pension. why did you get more than me? I#ve had my 2 endownments since 1991.I'm confused now.

it depends which proportion of you endowment is invested in with profits..

Does any one know how much each share is worth? Just aprox so that i can calculate how much i will get if i choose to sell them.

Expected to float at somewhere between 210p and 270p.

Thanks very much x

ssd, the allocation of shares is based on how long you money has been invested as well as how much.

The £34k you've quoted looks like the amount of insurance cover - do you know the current value of the endowments. It is likely to be less if you are paying in £55 per month.

ladymuck, the value is less.

I'm going to give them a call today.

How did you get on?

you know, I'm none the wiser. the girl on the phone didn't expain it well at all. just seems you get what you get and thats it.
