Investments in INSURANCE is always better compared to share markets. Mutual funds also invest in share markets and the risks are somewhat insulated.
In Insurance though the returns over a long period, the risks are nullified. However in share markets too over long period the returns are 10 to 20 times favorable than insurance.
But before u make any investments follow the King of Kings rule9U Know my name translated in English)
1) Gold Silver precious metals
2) Bank deposit R.D/ F.D
3) Bonds, NSC, Post office savings scheme,
4) INSURANCE ( a minimum of Rs25 lacs including term insurance)
5) Mutual Funds ( A combination of all)
6) Pension funds, pension schemes, Mediclaim and others
7) Real Estate
Have u allocated proportionately ur savings for the above and still u have left with cash
8) Then Consider Share Market with a strict long-term value growth.
Look to achieve what i have listed above u Must have Rs10,000/- per annum towards savings or work out proportionately.

In the short term you'll more than likely do better in the market. However, if you have a family that depends on you, having a Variable Life Policy makes a lot of sense as part of an overall strategy. You don't pay taxes on the growth inside the policy until you withdraw past your cumulative payments. If anything happens to you and you are no longer, the family cn continue on without having to mix in anger with grief over your passing. Also, these policies can be structured to allow you to overfund the insurance (to a point) so all the additional money is sitting in whatever type of account(much like mutual funds) you selected. 20 years down the road they look real sweet, and if set up properly money can be withdrawn tax free for the rest of your years. NOTE: Just because the word Insurance is on the cover of the policy does NOT mean that a rate of return is insured or that even a return of your money is insured, because it isn't, and a policy sold that keeps the premiums as close and competitive as possible to term insurance rates, are not going to leave a lot of room for funds to grow. Buy insurance for what it is for! To take of the problen that is created by your unexpected death.

Insurance is actually not investment because it gives you risk coverage and a large part of the premium paid is for cover rather than savings.But it gives a decent savings also because it statutorily has to invest in more than 50% in Govt Bonds where risk element is less. Investments in Share market or Mutual Funds depends upon which level you are entering or exiting and there is always a downslide loss.

well, insurance is safer, of course, but you get a pathetic return on your money! You can do just as well putting it in a bank. Remember the #1 law of investing . . . the greater the risk, the greater the return.
I'd NEVER use insurance as an investment vehicle - the insurance company keeps 90% of what your money makes . . .and THEY are investing it in the market - stocks, bonds, & mutual funds. So logically, you do better putting it in those same stocks, bonds & funds.

Invest in insurance is better then invest in share or mutual funds because in insurance u get investment along with the life coverage, but in share or mutual funds u only get investment not life coverage. so in insurance it is like EK PANT DO KAAZ.

Insurance is for longterm protection, loss prevention and safety promotion. Mutual fund is just for wealth creation by being partner in accretions, which is not guaranteed.

Go talk to a financial planner (adviser).
No one on these message boards can give you advice on the best plan for you without a lot more information about your situation.

often despite the fact that transactions that contain Riba (usury) are *****. I accept as true with the opinion of Muslim via decision and Suryadi. in spite of the undeniable fact that I truly have reservation in regards to the cyber web website given via Suryadi. I truly have doubt no count if the Islamic preferrred Council of u.s. truly characterize the final public perspectives of the yankee Muslims because of the fact as I see it, they in particular characterize "the Sufi Orders/communities". some Muslims seen particular Sufi Orders/communities are deviation from actual Islam. i'm open to remark. ideal me if my opinion is incorrect.
