A critical aspect to understand about ULIPs, which offer investment as well as insurance, is surrender value. This is the amount you receive if you decide to surrender the policy before its maturity.
As a policyholder, it is important for you to know how to get the surrender value for your policies. Here are four common ways that you can find out the surrender value of your ULIP.
1. Review your Policy Document
The policy document contains detailed information on how the surrender value is calculated, including the charges and penalties applicable. It mentions details about the lock-in period (which is usually five years), surrender charges, and fund value. The surrender value will be determined after the deduction of the surrender charges, whereas the fund value refers to the current value of your investment.
2. Consult Your Insurance Provider
Another effective way to determine the surrender value of your ULIP is by directly reaching out to your insurance provider. Most insurance companies have dedicated customer service teams to assist with policy-related queries. Provide them with your policy details and request the current surrender value.
3. Using a ULIP Calculator
Online calculators can help you determine the surrender value of your ULIP. These plan calculators require inputs such as policy term, premium amount, fund value, and surrender charges.
A regular ULIP calculator usually provides estimates for returns earned from the plan. You may look for calculators that provide estimates for surrender value.
4. Evaluating Fund Performance
The performance of the funds within your ULIP significantly impacts the surrender value. Regularly evaluating the fund performance gives you an idea of the potential returns and the current fund value. This evaluation can be done through fund statements and your online portfolio.
Understanding the growth and returns of your funds can help you better estimate the surrender value, especially when considering the impact of market fluctuations.
Determining the surrender value of your ULIP plan involves understanding the various aspects of the policy. A detailed assessment can help you can make an informed decision about whether to continue with your ULIP or exit early, ensuring that you maximise the ULIP benefits while minimising potential losses.
