Important - The returns in your plan will depend on your choice of funds. So it is very important to choose them wisely. If you choose a Low Risk fund, the chances of returns will not be very high. If you are staying invested in 5 years or more it may make sense to go a bit aggressive on the type of fund as the chances of better returns will be higher. These funds are managed by experienced fund managers of HDFC Life.
