It is good indeed. It gives you attractive returns, enhanced by loyalty additions every year starting end of 5th year and maturity addition to build the desired corpus of funds on maturity of the policy. :clap:

Aegon Religare child plan is not that good as i had opted for it earlier but turned out to be a big hassle for me :(

I am sharing the link to my post on this topic..

Look at the return table that is shown by Aviva on their site ("What I am going to get" section )

http://www.avivaindia.com/library/flash/Advertisement/illustrations/youngscholarplan.html

In best possible case, u are just earning 8.21 % return. And I doubt if they have taken care of charges while showing this.

And don't forget to check "What are the charges I am paying?" section.

Basic formula of calculating return on annuity (series of recurring payments) over long period is

FV = PV * [ {(1+r) Power N }-1]/r

read more on this link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_value

If you take consrevative value of rate of return at 12% (r = 0.12) in above formula and raise it to power of 20 for 20 yrs duration then you get the multiplying factor of 72+.
So even if you pay 10k to get insurance cover of 5Lac and put 90k regularly in fund that is giving 10% return.. your final capital will be 90k * 72 = 64.8 lac at the end.

For return at 15%, the numbers will be multiplying factor = 102, final sum = 92 Lacs.


So take a informed financial decision based on your requirement.

Happy investing for your child.
