Unit Linked Insurance Plan

What are Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP)?

ULIPs are a type of life insurance plan that combines insurance coverage with investment opportunities. They allow you to invest in different asset classes based on your risk appetite and goals. However, keep in mind that ULIPs come with risks as the value of investments can fluctuate.

ULIP Plans have two components: the insurance component and the investment component. The insurance component provides life insurance coverage, while the investment component determines the accumulated amount based on the performance of your chosen asset classes.

The allocation of premium between the insurance and investment components depends on the terms of your ULIP policy and your preferences.



Disclaimer: In unit linked policies, the investment risk in the investment portfolio is borne by the policyholder.
