Most of us hesitate to buy a life insurance policy as we prefer to take the risk than to spend our hard-earned money on protection and financial planning. On the other hand, we always look for ways to maximise our wealth. To help customers get insurance coverage and to maximise their wealth simultaneously, IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company has introduced a unique plan called the “IndiaFirst Money Balance Plan” which not only offers insurance cover but allows the insured person to earn returns on the premiums paid.
This is a unit linked savings plan that comes with an inbuilt investment option which helps policyholders to invest the earnings they make on the premiums by strategically transferring it to another performing fund which yields regular returns.
