ULIPs or United Linked Insurance Plans are an ideal investment option for your long-term financial goals. These instruments offer the optimum combination of investment and insurance. ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic is one such plan that offers you the opportunity to decide your premium amount and payment options, select a sum assured, and choose an appropriate portfolio strategy - all as per your specific needs.

Here are eight reasons why you should invest in the ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic plan:

1. Choice of four portfolio strategies¹

The ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic plan gives you four different strategies¹ to choose from, as per your investment preference:

• Target asset allocation strategy¹: You have the freedom to pick two investment funds as per your risk tolerance and financial objectives. You can also rebalance your portfolio on a quarterly basis to ensure your asset allocation is always as per your preference
• Trigger portfolio strategy¹: The plan uses the ‘Buy low-Sell high’ tactic to allocate your premium across two chosen funds. This helps you take advantage of the market swings more effectively
• Lifecycle-based portfolio strategy¹: In this strategy, your age and life stage determine your portfolio allocation. As you move from one age band to another, your funds are re-distributed and optimally balanced in equity and debt to create an ideal portfolio aligned with your age
• Fixed portfolio strategy¹: You get an option to choose from nine equity, three debt and three balanced funds to create a portfolio aimed at maximising returns over the policy term. You can invest in any of these funds in proportions of your choice
• Make saving a habit: Try to make saving a part of your life. Once it becomes a habit, you will no longer need to go out of your way to save money. You will automatically think about your financial future and the well-being of your family

2. Choice of protection level

With the ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic plan, you can select the sum assured as per your needs and financial budget. You have the flexibility to choose the premium payment mode, the tenure and the sum assured as per your need. You can also modify the sum assured of your ULIP during the policy period.

3. Choice of funds to invest

When you invest in ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic, you get a wide variety of funds – equity, balanced, and debt – to select from as per your goals and risk appetite. You also have the freedom to switch between these funds anytime to get potentially higher returns.

4. Free fund switches

ICICI Pru LifeTime Classic gives you the flexibility to change your fund allocation anytime during the policy tenure to get better returns. You are allowed four free switches in a policy year.
