surajk asked, hello my daughter is one plus year old I want to take insurance plus money back policy of 20+ lacs after 17 year approx what are the best policy also reliable
Jigessh Patel answers, Suggested to buy Unit link plan after comparison with a few companies. As the charges of most companies differ a lot. Also choose a balanced fund option where the equity option is atleast 35 % . ( in order to get approx 10 to 15 % return. The liquidity and premium Stoppage benefit is there in most unit link plans. also do buy the Premium waiver benefit with this plan.All Pvt companies are safe.
Debajyoti asked, I am 32 years old. Is it a good idea to cancel my current endowment policies and go for term insurance and invest the saved premium in mutual funds. I have more than 15 years premium payment term left
Jigessh Patel answers, If you choose to cancel any policy , first get new term Policy issued . Also take max term of Insurance coverage ,Currently you get max 30 years of Pure Term Cover. Also ULIP policies are like Mutual funds with insurance and give good returns. You should only invest directly in mutual funds if you have the descipline to invest regularly ( SIP Basis ).
Ravi asked, Hi jigessh, I am 28 yrs old and working in an IT firm. I have not taken insurance cover as my company proves grp insurance. Shall I go for it and if yes what should be the coverage if my salary is X pa
Jigessh Patel answers, You should have seperate cover .As you may choose to shift from the present IT co after a few years. You may find it difficulty to purchase New insurance in the future ( incase you get any critical illness ) . Your Life cover should be between 10 to 20 times of Actual salary for your age.
