Yearly mode and monthly mode of ULIP premium payment

Which is better?. Yearly Mode or Monthly or Quarterly or BiAnnual?.
Answer is it depends on the situation.
In the current market condition scenario, monthly premium payment option works better. Some ULIPs also offer systematic trasfer plan or automatic transfer plans in which you can allocate your funds in the Debt kind of funds and move it to equity every month little by little and all this happens automatically.
Isn't it wonderful tool.

Investing in the name of Kids. Child plans and the myth

How much everyone loves their child need not be shown by buying a child plan or kids plan that are being advertised. If you want to invest in your child's name, do some shopping around. There are many options available.
Kids plans are good for people who can't find time to manage their portfolio.
If you plan well or if you have a advisor then it's best to go for other plans for your kid.
