Which one is beneficial ULIP or Mutual Funds

Is investment in ULIP is better than investing in mutual funds, because in ULIP you will get less returns than mutual funds but after your death your family member will get 10 times the premium amount. Please give your advice?

Please note that there are many type of ULIP products with different cost structures pushed by different life insurance companies. But generally speaking, cost wise, mutual funds are cheaper than ULIPs.

While investing or making your financial plan, you should always keep life protection and investments separately.

In your case, for protecting your life, you should choose a term plan and go for higher life coverage instead of taking a ULIP and get only max 10 times life coverage. Term plans are pure life insurance plans wherein you can get the maximum life coverage with minimum cost.

However, for wealth creation and achieving other financial goals, you should always choose mutual funds.

Mixing ULIP plans with mutual fund is not a good idea. How, please read this https://www.advisorkhoj.com/articles/Mutual-Funds...
