Met Easy Super Plan is a Regular Premium Unit Linked Insurance Plan from PNB MetLife Insurance. It is a Non-Traditional Insurance Plan without Bonus facility.
How it works – In this plan, premium needs to be paid till the end of the policy tenure as selected at policy inception.
The premium, net of charges, is invested in the fund as selected by the policyholder and being a ULIP, the risk of investment is borne by the policyholder. There are 2 Investment Strategies in this plan, namely:
Auto Rebalancing option, where the funds are automatically rebalanced according to the chosen portfolio allocated in the Flexi Cap Fund and the Protector II Fund in the proportions as per the choice of the policyholder and
Self Managed option, where there are 6 investment funds to choose and directly manage self portfolio
On policy maturity, the Fund Value is paid to the policyholder as Maturity Benefit and the policy terminates. However, if the Life Insured dies within the Policy tenure, the higher of the Sum Assured or the Fund Value is paid to the nominee as Death Benefit. There is also 1 additional rider available in this plan-Accidental Death Benefit rider.
