Endowment plan, a life insurance policy offered by life insurance companies, combining life insurance with investment, explained in brief. Here's a primer.
If you die within the policy term, your nominee gets the sum assured or the life insurance amount, and some return. You get the corpus you have saved if you survive the term. There are two types of endowment plans: without-profit and with profit plans.
Without-profit endowment plans
Without-profit endowment plans do not give you any part of the insurer’s profits. So, if you survive the term you are given a small return on your investment called “loyalty additions”.
With-profit endowment plans
With-profit endowment plans give you a share of the insurer’s profits in the form of bonus or guaranteed benefits.
