FAQ's

• Who needs a unit linked endowment plan?

  A unit linked plan, or a ULIP is a kind of endowment plan where a part of your money is invested in the financial markets and the return you earn would solely depend on how well the market functions. A set amount of money is put aside in your insurance fund and so if you die, your family will receive the death benefit. A ULIP is usually suited for people who like taking risks with their money but also want to secure the future of their dependent family members.

• Who needs a full endowment plan?

  This is a very basic type of endowment insurance. Here, the death benefit is fixed and if the policyholder dies within the duration of the policy, the nominee receives the entire sum assured. However, if the policyholder survives the policy period, he receives a higher-than-mentioned maturity benefit. This is because the premium he paid throughout the policy period was invested in the financial market and the bonuses earned upon that were added to the sum assured. This kind of an endowment plan is best suited for those people who want pure insurance cover and also want to get their money back if they survive the policy period.

• Who needs a with-profit unitized endowment plan?

  This is a kind of endowment insurance plan where the bonus amount is pre-decided and fixed, irrespective of how the market functions. This kind of a plan is best suited for people who do not want to undertake the market risks but still want the bonuses.
