LIC is the one I would also choose, as a gut feel.

The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it

Hi guys

Wot r ur views abt ULIP's ....

I am confussed between 2 products:-

Product 1 (ULIP)

Sum Assured + Critical Illness: Rs 40 lacs

Term : 25 yrs & Premium : Rs 1 lac minimum for 3 yrs but according to me inorder to keep the policy alive for 25 years, I will hv to pay premium atleast for 6 years. Roughly speaking Rs 6 lacs will just keep the policy alive for 25 years without ne returns.

Only attraction is Critical Illness of Rs 40 lacs wherein incase of ne critical illness, I get sum assured immediately & company pays Rs 1 lac per year for remaining period of policy.
 
Product 2

Term Policy

Sum Assured : Rs 50 lacs
Term : 30 years
Premium Rs 18000/year = 5.40 lacs over 30 years.
 
Pls advice.
Tnx

 

 

happy & wise investing

ULIP is the best product for an agent and the worst for an investor. Take a Term insurance with a MF SIP it will fetch you far higher returns.

French insurance major AXA, in its global research on retirement, revealed that Indians find life insurance the most suitable retirement planning tool, followed by bank deposits. As much as 75% of the working population and 55% of retired respondents in the country cited life insurance as their primary retirement plan tool.

Indians are pretty clear that they do not want to take risks as far as their retirement planning is goes. Therefore, life insurance and bank deposits, which virtually do not have any financial risks, are the most popular. However, two Indians out of 10 find high-risk, high-return products more appealing.
more risk,more profit but have a vision before taking risk,itis all about investment in equities market.

No, my argument was with respect to whether we can expect this group to be alive for my 30 year Term plan?
