Plan tax savings and enjoy higher returns with ULIPs

A Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is the savvy combination of insurance and a financial plan which provides you with death or maturity benefit with the bonus of investing a portion of your premium in market-linked funds. Amongst the numerous investment products, it is considered one of the best products for the smart investor since it has multiple benefits that increase your wealth potential.

As an investor, you are used to investment pitches that give you jargon instead of telling you how ULIPs will help you bring more wealth. Here are some important reasons to add ULIPs to your portfolio.

ULIP works for you

If you have financial dependents, they need protection against any eventuality. It is essential to be realistic and understand that any problem for you will result in the financial burden of your family. A ULIP plan can provide for your family with the needed financial assistance in the form of the death benefit in your absence. If you can see the plan mature, you are still provided with the sum assured in the way of maturity benefit. Hence, whatever the outcome, ULIP will always work to your advantage.

ULIP is an excellent tax saver

One of the best things about a ULIP is its ability to function as a tax-saver. As ULIP’s are still considered as an insurance plan, hence it is the only market linked product for which you don’t have to pay the newly introduced LTCG tax of 10%. Aside from this, a ULIP allows you to save tax under section 80C, and 10(10D) all of this will deal with your growth in the long run.

ULIPs give you higher returns

With one of the lowest lock-in period of 3 years, a ULIP can provide you higher returns than any other investment products in the current market. Over the last five years, some of the top ULIPs have provided a compounded annual return of 18%, which is higher than the returns provided by FDs, ELSS or even most mutual funds. As they are linked to the market, the sky is the limit for your investments.
