Insurance is not Investment : Explore the truth !

-


One very popular blunder committed by common investors in India is - wasting their hard-earned money in insurance in the name of investment. This is due to our ignorance about insurance as well as investment. We should be well aware of the following basic things........

  • Insurance and investment are separate instruments required for separate purposes.
  • We should never mix insurance with investment or vice versa.
  • If you want to get insured, then go for Term-Insurance.
  • If you want to invest your money, then go for different investment vehicle available in market like Fixed Deposit, Term Deposit, Recurring Deposit, Public Providend Fund, Stock Market, Bond, Mutual Fund....... etc.......as per your investment goal.

If you invest your hard-earned money in " Endowment Insurance Plan" or " Unit Linked Insurance Plan", you are actually mixing insurance with investment. You will realise your blunder after 20-25 years during maturity of these plan. Your Sum Assured or maturity amount will fail to fight inflation rate i.e. you will simply lose your invested money.

You better put your money in Term-Insurance for insurance purpose.

 Term Insurance

  • It is a type of life insurance providing life insurance coverage for a certain period of time.
  • It purely provides life cover and there is no question of savings or profit or return.
  • A larger life cover is available at very low premium.

 Insurance agents will never suggest you to buy term-insurance plan for their own interest. They will simply misguide you to buy Endowment Plan or ULIP for getting huge commission from the premium of insurance paid by us. These insurance agents are generally belonged to our relative-circle or friend-circle. So, we trust them or simply fail to avoid them.

Before putting our hard-earned money in things like insurance or investment, we should read and understand all scheme-related documents carefully. We should never trust the agents without examining the actual documents.

Warren Buffett said........." Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don't expect it from cheap people."

    Very good article.Sometime your article are so accurate that there is no place for comment but that does not mean your other articles are imperfect.Actually i knew that there is no benefit in LIC except life risk and tax saving . I didn't knew generic term name like Term insurance,Endowment Insurance and Unit Linked Insurance Plan so your article teach me a lot.

    So Term insurance means we only get benefit after death,right?

                     People enter the world of stock market in the expectation of big money in short time. But making money in stock market is not easy at all, rather an uphill task. Sound knowledge & understanding of market, huge research work, monumental patience & discipline - are the qualities of a successful investor.                                         Bull market is represented by a bull which attacks with its horn in upward direction. Metaphorically speaking, the investors have high confidence & stock price goes on increasing. Investors make profit after buying stocks at lower prices & selling at higher prices.                        Bear market is represented by a bear which attacks with its paw in downward direction.

'Market Making' & 'Market Maker' Suppose one buyer is willing to buy a specific stock but there is no seller to complete his order. The reverse case may also occur in Stock Market. To sort out this real life situation, the concept of 'Market Making and Maket Maker' was introduced by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) in indian Stock Market.  Market Maker is typically an institution which is appointed by Stock Exchange to increase and meet demand-supply of shares in Stock Market. The Market Maker places buy-and-sell call at the same time for a specific time period for a guaranteed number of shares.  So, 'buy / sell' requirement of investor/trader is fulfilled by Market Maker's own holding or inventory of stocks. The Market Maker books profit by the difference between buy-call and sell-call placed by him.  Suppose the Market Maker places a quote of Rs.500-450, which means that the Market Maker will buy stock at R

The title of this article is quoted by Warren Buffett & this is a harsh truth in every sphere of our life. Most of the people in this world are working very hard to earn money for living a life full of happiness & joy. They wish to fulfil their dreams and imaginations. Money is the most useful power which can do almost everything in this world. Hence, they invest their savings in the expectation of handsome return. No one  will be happy in losing his hard-earned money in poor investment. The most common & big mistake we do in our life is nothing but investing our money as per advice of any person, broker or agency without any verification of their offer. Sometimes, agents or brokers intentionally involve their customers in poor investment plan for getting more interset or commission. They misguide their customer with fake promise for their own benefit & consequently, the investor loses his hard-earned money. A huge market-research is required for verifi
