What is ULIP?
A Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is a life insurance product that integrates investment opportunities. Combining life insurance benefits with investment growth potential, ULIPs enable policyholders to invest a portion of their premiums in distinct funds, including debt, equity, or a blend of both. Resembling mutual funds, ULIPs allow policyholders to choose and switch between funds. They offer flexibility in premium payment, investment options, and fund switching, ensuring a customizable approach. However, they come with charges like policy administration, fund management, and premium allocation charges, impacting the overall investment returns.
