Investopedia explains 'Unit Linked Insurance Plan - ULIP'

A unit linked insurance plan acts just like a savings vehicle, but also has the benefits of an insurance contract. When an investor purchases units in a ULIP, he or she is purchasing units along with a larger number of investors, just like an investor would purchase units in a mutual fund.

Different ULIPs offer different qualified investments. Be sure to read the plan's prospectus before purchasing any ULIP.
