The ICICI PRU WEALTH STAGE II
PREMIUM ALLOCATION 2%
POLICY ADMIN- 0.47% IN FIRST YR & 0.1% FROM SUBSEQUENT YR
FMC- 1% - 1.35% DEPENDING ON THE FUND SELECTED
i have not given the mortality charges.
Comparing the 2 charges structures i feel the charges of Birla Sunlife is high especially premium allocation 7% - 5% Vs 2% & Nil
Also the FMC is 3.55% Vs 1.35 because anyone will mostly end up in selecting all the 3 types of funds
What is your view of this Product since i have been told that however the portfolio managers manage the funds, the growth is very good
Is it ok to take such a policy with high premium allocation charge?
Am mainly looking for this plan from investment perspective
