    1. Hi Jalpesh, This is not mutual fund. This is ULIP fund. It has various charges i.e. premium allocation charges, mortality charges, fund management fees etc., Any reason you want to invest for ULIP instead of Mutual Fund. One can choose ULIP provided these are available at zero or low premium allocatoin charges
