Need of Life Insurance
Asset Protection
From an investor's point of view, an investment can play two roles - asset
appreciation or asset protection. While most financial instruments have the
underlying benefit of asset appreciation, life insurance is unique in that it gives the
customer the reassurance of asset protection, along with a strong element of asset
appreciation.
The core benefit of life insurance is that the financial interests of one’s family
remain protected from circumstances such as loss of income due to critical illness
or death of the policyholder. Simultaneously, insurance products also have a strong
inbuilt wealth creation proposition. The customer therefore benefits on two counts
and life insurance occupies a unique space in the landscape of investment options
available to a customer.
