PopuIarity of &LIPs:-
ULP came into play in the 1960s and became very popular in Western
Europe and America .The reason that is attributed to the wide spread popularity of
ULP is because of the transparency and the flexibility which it offers. As times
progressed the plans were also successfully mapped along with life insurance
need to retirement planning.
n todays times, ULP provides solutions for insurance planning,
financial needs, financial planning for childrens future and retirement planning. Unit
Linked nsurance Policies (ULPs) have become very popular during the last4-5-yrs
in ndia. Sensing the great demand for these because of their attractive features
such as insurance cover, scope for tax relief, and gains from a booming equity
market. They accounted for 82% of the private insurers new business in FY 2005-
06. They are emerging as overwhelming favorites with individuals wanting to
buy life cover complemented by a flavor of equities. Most of the investments
advisors also recommended their client, ULPs as their investment avenues in
the financial planning. As they are also designed to achieve the twin objectives of
tax benefits and capital appreciation.
There certain points which adds up more to popularity of ULPs among the
investors as well as the investment advisors, which are as follows
1) The agency commission : - An advisor selling a ULP is likely to get a
commission in the range of 30% of the premium paid in the first few years. Also
the commission in the following years amounts to about 5% for ULP investments.
2) The stock market performance in the recent past : - The sustained Bull
Run in the equity markets over the past few years has resulted in most market-
linked investments witnessing considerable growth. This has worked in favor of ULPs
as well. They have turned out a return of 15% on an average in one year.
3) FIexibiIity offered by &LIPs : - ULPs offer the kind of flexibility that no
insurance product can. For example, investors can select a ULP with an
equity-debt combination that is in line with their risk profile. A risk-taking
investor would typically select one with a high equity component, while a risk-averse
investor would opt for a debt heavy one Then there are advantages like top-up
facility (which is like a one time premium payment) that can be used to
gainfully utilize surplus monies. Another reason for buying ULP is the benefit it
offers, by bundling insurance with insurance with an investment product. Thus
for anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of taking care of numerous kinds of
investment and life insurance products, ULPs a good option.
According Sandeep Batra, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), ICICI prudential
Life Insurance Company, ULIPs are the most transparent life Insurance
products available today.
Thus from the study above (Topics - 2.6, 2.7, 2.8) I wouId Iike to say tha
&LIPs are such a product which wiII fuIfiII one needs in a very systematic
Way onIy If it is PLANNED. And this pIanning shouId be as earIy as one starts
earning.
ConcIusion:-
The nsurance Sector is growing since the LPG norms and they are growing at 80%.
LC was the only player in Life nsurance sector but now many foreign players are
competing with it. ULPs as a new investment vehicle for the investor has given a
new avenue for financial planning. The NAVs of the equity fund s of the respective
companies are showing tremendous growth.
Analysis:- Thus from this sur vey would say that the company should not only
target the middle age and lower class group but also retired and pensione
Also the ULPs are gaining lot of popularity but while taking these ULPs one should
take few measures as in
1) To know to the ULP plan, which of the insurance type is adjoined term or
endowment?
2) While choosing of fund there should be balanced of equity and debt or if equity
some small p ercentage of debt should be taken so that some returns are fixed.
3) And consult to the investment advisor.
