An endowment shortfall is common issue among people who purchases mortgages in the eighties and nineties. The idea was that people pay a reduced mortgage rate, and contributed a reasonable some of money towards endowments to be invested on the open market. The contract didn't offer protection to the home owners and when the finicial recession of the late eighties and early nineties hit, the money left within the endowment didn't cover the mortgages, creating a shortfall.
