Default Selling with-profits life policy - help needed

For city traders please.

I want to raise some cash and have been trying to sell a Standard Life policy. I can surrender to Standard Life but there is a market for these policies which may give me a higher cash value. I have contacted a few dealers/traders but market seems flat at the moment. So does anyone have any suggestions as to who I can approach please? A pm is fine. Cheers, David

I tried exactly the same thing with the same product (Standard Life and another with NU/Arriva) a few weeks ago.
No one was particularly interested.

It used to be quite popular but I think with bonus rates falling like a stone and life assurance compaines applying Market Value Adjustments to their With Profits funds the market for traded endowment policies dried up.

This might help

Selling My Endowment. Selling endowment policies made easy.

Although the most fun to be had seems to be if your a Mac nerd.
