Birla Sun Life Insurance News

Birla Sun Life has launched the BSLI Wealth Secure, which is a whole life plan. This plan is supposed to helps policyholders achieve their financial goals as per the changing necessities in life with participation in the equity markets. This plan also guarantees a certain level of financial security as long as the policyholder lives.

Niall O'Hare, the Chief Actuarial Officer of BSLI, has stated that the plan provides investors three different options and this, he expects, will be able to satisfy the requirements of various types of investors. According to him, this plan offers such a combination of whole life cover and long term savings that the policyholders can put all their energy towards realizing their financial ambitions and make substantial savings for the future.

He has further added that owing to the inherent savings facilities in the plan the investors will be provided good returns with every premium. O'Hare says the main reasons for this are the long term period of the policy and its participation in the equity markets.

Nowadays, a section of customers are seen to shy away from the equity markets and this according to experts jeopardizes their chances to make wealth over a longer period of time. However, the insurer is sure that this product will be able to reverse the trend thanks to the top class investment tactics and opportunity of better and all-round growth available on these plans.

With this plan the insured will be able to choose their premium - the life cover will be decided on the basis of the proposer's age as well as the premium being paid.
