If you want to invest in ULIPs , please ensure that you invest for minimum 7-8 years as initial high charges of ULIP will take time to recover. For less than 7 years , go for Mutual funds(Investment) + term plan(insurance cover). Acutal time to break even will depend on fund performance and scheme charges.

One think that everyone must understand about ULIP is

"If you don't need life insurance, don't invest in ULIP"

As simple as that. Companies take charges to compensate on the life insurance part. If you look at the fund management charges, they are very less and similar to any mutual funds.

I posted quite a few articles on my blog. http://ulip.sulekha.com

Market plus is better than money plus. (as far as charges and flexibility is concerned).

Well said Manish,
I did the similar analysis on ULIP as a Term Inusrance Plan.
http://ulip.sulekha.com/blog/post/20...-insurance.htm

With my analysis even I found that ULIP can really replace term insurance plan and also at the end of the tenure, you will have handsome of money in your hand.
