This blog highlights my investment mistakes in selecting Mutual funds linked with ULIP:
- Tata AIA Life InvestAssure II, a unit linked Insurance Plan
I invested Rs. 50,000/annum from 2007 until 2013 – 3.5 lacs total investment for 7 years. Received 4.1 lacs total, an increase of about 50000 after 7 years. Had I invested the same in a bank I would have got 100,000 additional
5000*6+5000*5+5000*4+5000*3+5000*2+ 5000 = 5000(6+5+4+3+2+1)=5000*20= 100,000.
- ING Vysya Life Insurance, a unit linked Insurance Plan
I invested Rs. 100,000 (1 lac-Single Premium) from 2007 until 2013. Received 1.3 lacs after 7 years. Had I invested the same in Bank, I would have got 60,000 more.
- ICICI Prudential Elite Wealth (ULIP Policy)
I am now investing Rs. 5 lacs/annum, starting from Nov 2013. There are charges such as mortality charge of 699 Rs/month, Policy admin charge of 500 Rs/month and Premium allocation charge of 10000 Rs/annum. All these charges were not informed by the Bank person before taking the policy. If I stop the premium payment, money will be locked for 5 years with penalty.
It was a hasty decision without proper research, based on sweet savory talks of marketing guys, from ICICI Bank Kottayam with full of lies.

I invested in TATA AIG Invest Assure II in 2005. Total Premium paid 300,000 @ 25,000 p.a. Fund value as on 21st Apr 2017 271,000. BIG MISTAKE
Hi,
I was researching on bad performance of Invest Assure 2 and got your link. I ad bad experience and never bought ulips from any company after this. But I was wondering why you kept on buying ulips. They are expensive, underperforming products.
It was my foolishness to trust lies of the folks selling ULIPS
