Birla Sun Life Foresight Plan

 

 

Birla Sun Life Foresight Plan is a unique Unit Linked Insurance Policy (ULIP) which provides choice to the customer to manage his own fund himself or rely completely on the fund managers with a minimum guaranteed return. The policyholder needs to pay in a lumpsum or over 5 instalments and be covered for 10 years. On death of the life insured, nominee would receive the prevailing Fund Value along with the Sum Assured and on maturity the policyholder would receive the Fund Value according to the option selected.                                                                              

 

There is a Minimum Guarantee Maturity Benefit that is provided to the policyholders. Thus if the market is favourable, then the Fund Value at the time of maturity would be higher than the Minim Guaranteed amount and the policyholder can get that Fund Value. But if the market is not favourable, and the Fund Value falls below the Minimum Guaranteed Maturity benefit, then also the policyholder would get the minimum Guaranteed Fund Value at maturity. 

 

 

 

• Option of Guaranteed Maturity Benefit or self management of the investment funds
• Premiums need to be paid in a lumpsum or for a period of maximum 5 years only
• 10 different fund options under Self Managed Funds
