Edelweiss Tokio Life: Wealth Accumulation
 

Individuals are often confused when it comes to making an investment or choosing an insurance plan for themselves or their loved ones. Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIP) is designed to provide individuals with a combination of Insurance and Investment in a single plan. Thus, individuals have the satisfaction of having an investment as well as insurance cover.

Classical Endowment Plans may provide you with Insurance cover but the Maturity returns are not that great as the investment is mainly in low yield bonds and debt funds. Thus, Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) was introduced which in a way is hybrid of Insurance Cover and Mutual Fund Investment. ULIP not only provides you with an insurance cover but also ensures that you get the best of return on the investment. The premium paid towards the policy is diversified into Equity and Debt Markets which ensures that your wealth maximizes over a period of time.
