LIC has a variety of plans in its kitty. Each plan targets a specific customer group and fulfils a specific customer need. Traditional life insurance plans are meant to create guaranteed wealth while health plans aim to provide financial assistance in case of a medical emergency. Similarly, there are unit-linked plans which are different from guaranteed return plans as these plans invest in the capital market and don’t promise a guaranteed return. Let’s understand what unit-linked plans are all about.
Unit-linked insurance plans, or ULIPs as they are popularly called, are insurance plans which promise the dual benefit of investment return and insurance cover. The premiums paid towards ULIPs are invested in market-linked funds. The policyholder can choose any fund as per his risk appetite. Thereafter, as the fund grows, the invested premiums also grow and give returns. ULIPs are also flexible in nature as they allow partial withdrawals during the plan tenure. Moreover, policyholders can change the chosen investment funds through switching and also invest additional premiums through top-ups.
