Traditional With Profits Endowments:-
There is an amount guaranteed to be paid out called the sum
assured and this can be increased on the basis of investment
performance through the addition of periodic (for example
annual) bonuses.
Regular bonuses are guaranteed at maturity and a further
non-guarante bonus may be paid at the end known as
a terminal bonus.
Unit-linked endowment:-
Unit-linked endowments are investments where the premium
is invested in units of a unitised insurance fund.
Units are encashed to cover the cost of the life assurance.
Policyholders can often choose which funds their premiums are
invested in and in what proportion.
Unit prices are published on a regular basis and the
encashment value of the policy is the current value of the
units.

Traded endowments:-
Traded endowment policies (TEPs) or second
hand endowment policies (SHEPs) are traditional
with-profits endowments that have been sold to a
new owner part way through their term.
The TEP market enables buyers (investors) to
buy unwanted endowment policies for more than
the surrender value offered by the insurance
company.
When a policy is sold, all beneficial rights on the
policy are transferred to the new owner.

Full endowments:- A full endowment is a with-
profits endowment where the basic sum assured
is equal to the death benefit at start of policy
and, assuming growth, the final payout would be
much higher than the sum assured.
Low cost endowment (LCE):- A low cost
endowment is a combination of an endowment
where an estimated future growth rate will meet
a target amount and a decreasing life insurance
element to ensure that the target amount will be
paid out as a minimum if death occurs.
