Traditional Plans are called such because they are conventional in their investment strategy. They have to invest the collected premiums as per the specified guidelines of the Insurance Act and so the customer doesn’t get any market exposure in these plans. Moreover, the investment plans are issued for a longer tenure and during that tenure the plan is rigid. Some basic plan features are as follows:
Premiums are payable as per method specified in the plan and if there is any failure to pay the premiums, the Sum Assured is reduced to a paid-up value which is paid as the maturity or death benefit.
The plan is offered for a longer term and partial withdrawals are not allowed from the plan.
Bonus may accrue under the plan depending on the profits made by the company if the plan is issued as a participating plan
Endowment and Money Back are the two variants of traditional plans

Endowment insurance is most commonly purchased with a goal in mind. The maturity benefit received is used in paying off fixed expenses that may range from college tuition fees to retirement bills. So a person buys an endowment plan for the desired number of years. Endowment plans are long term plans available for 20 or more years. So as a policyholder, you must calculate for how long you need to build the fund up and how much you want to contribute in it. It helps you save in a systematic manner and then helps in paying the bills when needed. Once the policy matures and you receive the amount, the policy terminates. However, if the policyholder dies within the period, his beneficiary receives the guaranteed sum assured.
Since endowment plans combine the elements of insurance and investment, the premium you pay is divided in two parts. First of all, a certain portion of the premium is deducted for the insurance fund. The amount of deduction depends on factors such as age, gender, health, etc. The remainder of the amount is invested either in a traditional participating plan or in a ULIP. The funds build up and what you get at the end depends on the way the markets functioned and how much your money grew. Of course, there is a fixed amount that is assured and the bonuses and profits are added to it.
