ICICI Prudential Elite Life II Plan - Key Features

• It is a ULIP plan with Limited Pay, Single Pay and Regular Pay options.
• Two investment strategies are offered under this plan- Fixed Portfolio Strategy, where there is a choice of 8 funds for investment purposes and Lifecycle based Portfolio Strategy where the investment choice depends on the age of the policyholder.

• Under the Fixed Portfolio Strategy, there is also a choice of Automatic Transfer Strategy (ATS) where all or a part of the investment is allocated in Money Market or Income Fund and then gradually, the investment is transferred to any of the remaining 7 funds every month throughout the policy term.
• Under the Lifecycle based Portfolio Strategy, the investment is split in a fixed ratio between the Multi Cap Growth Fund and Income Fund depending on the age of the policyholder.
