Is €11,480 what you'd get into your hand if you encashed it now or could there be further deductions such as exit tax (23% on any growth), early encashment penalties (if it's a fixed term investment etc.) or are there any bonuses available if you hold on and cash in later? In short there's not enough information about the product here to make a definite call. If you had €11,480 today and wanted to keep it secure then you could maybe put it on deposit at the best rates available (see the Financial Best Buys forum), invest in a low charges low risk/reward unit linked fund etc. or a mixture of both.
