Should you opt for LIC Jeevan Shagun single premium policy?


This is a single premium policy which can be used for savings cum protection purpose. However, one has to compromise on the returns. Generally LIC policies would provide returns between 5% to 7%, depending on the schemes and loyalty additions etc. apart from risk coverage. Low risk appetite investors who want to stay away from financial markets (stocks, mutual funds, etc.) can opt for such policies. Alternatively like I always say, one can consider term insurance plans for risk coverage purpose and balance, invest in bank FD schemes which can provide better returns.
