Key Takeaways


  • ULIPs (Unit Linked Insurance Plans) combine life insurance and market-linked investments. They offer dual benefits.
  • These plans offer capital protection and guaranteed death benefits. So, they have potential for high returns based on fund performance.
  • Assess your risk appetite and life goals to pick an investment plan that balances security, liquidity, and long-term growth.

Three Ways a ULIP can Optimise your Returns

ULIPS are inherently more profitable than an ordinary insurance policy, and these higher returns come with the risk. Most people prefer to keep their insurance and investment separate. Still, anyone who has experienced the advantages of ULIP can tell you that they are infinitely better than the myriad investment plans in India.

 

1. Capital Protection

Whatever sum is assured as you sign up for the policy is guaranteed according to the terms and conditions, provided that you pay the premiums regularly without terminating the policy. This is a significant capital protection.

Once you outlive the policy's maturity date, you will receive the entire assured sum without being affected by inflation rates. This life insurance is a fixed-cover product and will not give you profits, but the policy's investment element will.

Therefore, the equity fund has the potential to help you beat inflation and accrue a good amount of wealth while having your life insured.

2. Guaranteed Death Benefit

The death benefit or the sum assured is a fixed sum of money that will be returned to you no matter what, provided you meet all the terms and conditions and no premiums have been missed. However, the investment portion does not guarantee complete returns since it is market-linked - but it may also give you higher returns than you initially thought.

3. Liquidity

In the case of ULIPs, you will have to wait for a lock-in period of five years (usually) before you achieve liquidity, which implies that you will be eligible for redeeming units in which the premiums are invested in, premature withdrawal, or even surrendering of the policy at a loss.

Did You Know?

ULIP maturity benefits are taxed at 10% as LTCG if the annual premium is above ₹2.5 lakh, but death proceeds remain tax-free.
