In the world that keeps changing and always unpredictable, you need to make sure you do your best to provide your family a financial protection. And perhaps the part of your family who most needs protection will be your children. For every parent, his or her child is very precious. No matter how hard you the parents have to work but they will always ensure to fulfill the child ‘sir dreams ion time.

Considering how costly life is getting day-by-day, its important you build a security nest around children so that their dreams remain intact. How can you do this, though? Regular savings are definitely not going to bridge up suffice the huge financial requirement such as for their upbringing, education, career activities, marriage, etc. One of the best ways you can choose to protect your children would be taking by purchasing child plans.

There are various types of plans available in the market when it comes to your child safety. So you need to be shrewd careful about what you’re picking. Here are some basic things to consider while choosing the child plans available in the markets:

The very first thing to start with is to evaluate your financial situation. You have to look at your own resources, and see how long you have to manage your child’s expenses.

The small or big range of expenses, the time when you need money also has needs to be taken into consideration. Therefore, the investment has to be as such that your policy should provide a fruitful return. That would be your term period for the plan. It will give an idea of how long you will have to invest. Accordingly, you can calculate the expenses and spare amount. When thinking about what you need down the line, you have to be a little generous mind. Inflation tends to eat up your earnings and therefore you will must have a figure that counters the rising inflation. You can sit with your financial expert and gauge the education or marriage costs 15-20 years down the line and decide the amount you need accordingly.

Child plans offered by insurance companies are the best plans available in the market. They serve two purposes – financially secure your child’s future and shelter the turning points in his or her life such as education, career activities, marriage, etc.

In case, parents were to meet with any unfortunate incidence, child insurance plan continues till maturity and after the death of the parent, and  all the future premiums will be paid out by the insurance company! This unique feature is called Waiver of Premium.

These are best child plans in which a part of your premium goes for life cover and the rest gets invested in market linked funds such as equity, debt or balanced. Once you decided the financial goals you can sit with your financial expert and make your fund choice carefully. Allocate the amount well carefully in the funds and keep a regular monitoring on their performance. There are plans that offer fund switching to extract better returns from market-based funds.

The premium for the child plans is ideally lump sum. But if you find that getting money is not something which you cannot afford lump sum payment, you can pay on a monthly basis. Always remember that these market-linked child plans have various charges associated such as administrative, fund allocation, switching, partial withdrawals, etc. It’s important that in the long run, they should not eat the profits being booked.

An early start would help you allocate funds well and try to extract better returns. You can risk a little bit in the equity-based funds, book profits and shift to debt oriented funds.
