Why is ICICI Pru Guaranteed Wealth Protector special?

Growth of your money
You can enjoy the opportunity to get potentially better returns and grow your money by investing in mix of equity and debt. This combination helps you beat inflation while protecting your investments.

How does a mix of equity and debt beat inflation?
Inflation is the rate at which the price of goods and services increases over a period of time. For example, the price of a particular item has increased from Rs. 100 in 2005 to Rs. 243 in 2017.

To gain from your investments, your savings should grow at a rate higher than the inflation rate.

In order to get better returns in the long run, it is advisable to have equity exposure. Equity markets are subject to short-term market volatility. However, the effect of market volatility is negligible in the long term.

Below is an example of how investing in a mix of equity and debt can help in building your savings,

If 60% of your money was invested in the equity market and 40% in debt market## in the last 12 years, your investment would have grown by around 12% on an annualized basis. This growth would have helped you stay ahead of the inflation rate of about 7.7%# in the same period.
