ach of us have
goals in our lives.
Whether small
or big, short-
term or long-term, our life
goals and the continuous
pursuit of working
towards them is what
drives us. On a personal
level as well, each of us
nurse an aspiration —
whether it is to buy a
house, start a business,
fund higher education
for our children, or save
for a happy and stress-
free retirement. In the
rat race of everyday
lives, most of these goals
may seem far away and
unsurmountable. That is
why perhaps we just focus
on short-term needs,
while our dreams for the
future simply remain
dreams.
However, the truly
passionate amongst us
never lose sight of their
ultimate aspirations lying
on the long-term horizon.
They continue to make
plans that help them turn
their life goals into reality.

investment avenues.

Flexibility: You have
the flexibility of shifting

capital between various
asset classes and
strategies depending
on their risk profile.
Additionally, you can
choose to pay the entire
premium amount at the
beginning of the tenure
or stagger the payments
periodically, depending
on the term of the policy.

Tax benefit*: As the
month of March nears,
most people would be

busy with their tax filings.
Did you know that ULIP
holders also enjoy various
tax benefits? In this way,
ULIPs offer the triple
benefits of insurance,
potential for long-term
wealth creation
and tax benefit.
So, this year take action,
create an appropriate
financial plan, and do
consider ULIPs as the
stepping stones towards
achieving your life goals.
