There are life insurance cum saving plans that offer life cover along with market-linked returns. And there are plans that do not divest the premium you pay in the market. Choose a savings plan that helps you maintain the balance between risk and reward. If you do not measure your risk appetite, it will become a challenge for you to find the right savings plan as per your needs. Assess your risk appetite and choose a plan that goes well as per your risk to enhance your portfolio.

The savings plan that you buy should have some liquidity to help you during contingencies. Life insurance cum savings plan offer loan facility and some other plans offer partial/milestone withdrawal option – using which, the policyholder can avail funds at the time of need. For example, P4G Plus offers multiple withdrawal options. If the policyholder chooses, Systematic Withdrawal Option, it will help them create an additional income stream during the policy term itself. If the policyholder chooses Milestone Withdrawal Option, they can withdraw the pay-outs at important milestone of life, for example – to pay for their child’s higher education, or their marriage.

Before choosing a guaranteed saving plan, ask all the necessary questions. As there are different terms and conditions, each savings plan may work differently. Therefore, buy a plan only when you are well aware of what it offers. Before you put your money into it, clear away all the doubts about the plan.
