>Hi,
I am very new to the world of Investment. I am going to join a job and looking forward for the proper investment plan.
I have heard last year that there was a ulip policy called Jeewan Plus. Somebody told me about that.
The details I was given were that if one invest 1,00,000 Rs continiously for 3 years and then just 180RS for say 30 years he will get Rs. 1 crore or more (I do not remember actual figure) after 30 years with Rs 5 lakh insurance coverage.
Is that true. Next if it is true that what kind of Policy do you suggest for both type of investments:
1. Short term investment
a. Growth
2. Long term investment
a. Pension funds
b. In name of child
I do not know but after one year I am planning to invest about 1 lakh per year in my personal savings/investment.
Please suggest. You can drope me email on my email address:

>Hi Sandeep,
I dont know whether i should answer your query or whether Deepak should. Even if i answer (Apologies Deepak) i am sure Deepak will not differ my views. ULIPS get a clear thumbs down. Visit http://ulip.blogspot.com/ for soft views on ULIPS and then visit http://theinvestorblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/ulips-good-investment.html for hard reviews.

>Sandeep,
BTW, the Jeevan Plus plan is closed now. You can only buy Market plus. Let’s assume its the same thing.
Also Rs. 180 a year will buy you about Rs. 2 lakhs of insurance at your age. At age 52 (the last year of your term, you will have to pay Rs. 5,000 for that same 2 lakhs!) In ULIPs your mortality charges vary year by year, and increase as you age.
Calculating your returns: If your funds grow at around 13% a year, then you will get a crore after 30 years. But remember, one crore after 30 years is equivalent to 17.4 lakhs now (considering 6%) inflation.
You would be much better off if you took a term plan for Rs. 5 lakhs (about Rs. 1500 a year) and put the rest into an ELSS fund. (As Mohan said, it’s not worth the effort :) )

>hi , i came across kotak flexi ulip and prudential icici life time super ulip. of these two which is better, you can also recommend any other of your choice based on 1) high guaranteed returns or 2) hight market based returns or 3) combination of above both. kndly specify. waiting for your comments.
thanks

>Well.. ULIPs have many advantages.
Mortality charges in ULIPs turn out to be less than Term life insurance.
There are ways with which you can invest in ULIP and get the returns within a month.. (through check!!).
These returns are on and above the units that are purchased through your investment.

>Mortality charges are less in ULIP than term insurance but ULIP mortality charges increase every year! Term insurance charges remain the same through the term. For a 25 year old in a In a 30 year ULIP, mortality charges can be as high as Rs. 2000 per lakh when you are 55 – from a low of Rs. 150 per lakh at 25. term insurance stays at about Rs. 300 per lakh if you take hte policy at 25, and stay on for thirty years. So at 55 you pay nearly 10 times the amount as mortality charges.

>Hi, I have a quick question. Am contemplating investing into either HDFC Std Life Insurance – Unit Linked Endowment OR ICICI Prudential – Life Time Super funds.
which is a better buy, in the sense who has lesser charges or better returns in long term.
i looked at both their illustrations for Rs 30K P.A Premium for 3 yrs. HDFC looks better @10% return calculation.
What do you suggest?
01.10.07 at 7:32 PM
>If you’re investing, why not consider a Mutual fund instead of a ULIP? Buy an ELSS plan that will give you tax savings, and a term insurance to cover your insurance needs.
That will involve just 2.25% charges or so, much lesser than any ULIP.
01.10.07 at 8:07 PM
>Deepak,
It will be useful if you provide returns from the top performing mutual funds (equity diversified and ELSS). That way we can compare them with ULIP returns which you have shown for the same time period.

>Good point, Deepak, shall try to get that up as well.
01.21.07 at 8:55 AM
>Hi,
I am a new investor in equity market. I heard compared to mutual fund, ULIP gives better returns only in the long run , say 20+ years. Is this true?
I was also told that the ULIP charges are at 1.5% compared to 2.25% for mutual funds. When you can have both insurance +investment together, why not go for it?
thanks,

09.07.07 at 1:29 PM
>Buy ULIP from ICICI, HDFC or LIC only. May be for a particular ULIP product you can have a look at Baja Allianz ULIP also.

>i have one confusion so could you advice me about my mutual fund icici prudential life time supen plan, I already paid first installment so could you give me advice this plan is good for me ?
just tell me how much i will get after 5 years?
Thanks,
Avani
09.30.07 at 10:39 PM
>avani: There are no guarantees in ulips, so you have no idea how much you will get after 5 years. I don’t like ULIPs so I wouldn’t recommend them at all but you’ll have to figure out whether it works for you – find out the current NAV and the number of units you hold. Compare that against the amount you paid and you’ll see if this is worth it…

>hi,
one of my friend who is keen in market moves put a large chunk on MFs and direct stakes,which he thought could build big corpus. like many he dint believe in insurance.. unfortunately his untimely death cost a good amount to his family since it happened during a market correction. sure, if he was alive, would have made large money. but the accounts were sigle owned and closed at a great loss. had he bought ULIPs or atleast term plans his family would have got 5 times his investment for sure… while cursing ULIPs due to entry loads, its better to check for new products that comes as low as 4.75% entry load and 1.5% FMC compared to 2.25%entry load and 2.5%FMC (this will eat your money more in the long term)of MFs. “Nothing is good or bad, thinking makes it so”.
for a layman ULIPs are not that bad thing if he is looking long term.

>this happens when you have half baked knowledge.you are comparing mangoes and guavavas.all the funds you had compared from the different companies have different equity allocation. so please make sure they are homogeneous in the equity and debt allocation before making a table like that and misguiding others.

>This is what an acquaintance had to say when he heard about a few suicides post the current market crash.
The current market is best suited to people who have bought Max New York Term Plan. Even when you commit suicide after one year the sum assured is paid to the nominee.
So borrow and buy futures, then commit siucide claim your money and get the best IRR on investments.

>Kindly advise How Statement is calculated when a Ulip Policy is re-instated from a lapse status.
The already acquired Units in the Past will be re-valuated on the date of re-instatement ?
Is IRDA allowing such a calculation or return that means it is Looting?
Awaiting your kind advise
