The Real Question Investors Ask
“Can my mutual fund profits alone pay my term insurance premium for my entire life?”
The answer is YES with the right structure.
Client Details (To Respect Privacy, Name & Location is hidden)
-
Current Age: 42
-
Target Age to Make Insurance Free: 47
-
Annual Term Insurance Premium: ₹45,000 (constant)
-
Investment Horizon: Long term
-
Expected MF Return: 11–12% per year
-
Withdrawal Rule: Only from profits, not capital
Step 1: How Much Withdrawal Required for Premium Payment?
-
Required every year from age 47 onwards: ₹45,000
-
Since the premium does not increase, withdrawals stay flat
-
This greatly reduces risk
Step 2: How Much Corpus Is Needed at Age 47?
To safely withdraw ₹45,000 every year forever:
-
Use a 4% conservative withdrawal rule
Required Corpus:
₹11–12 lakhs corpus is sufficient
Step 3: How Much SIP Is Needed Today?
Time available: 5 years (age 42 to 47)
Target corpus: ₹12 lakhs
Monthly SIP Required (12% return assumption):
-
₹13,000 → ~₹10.5 lakhs (tight)
-
₹15,000 → ~₹12.2 lakhs (comfortable)
-
₹18,000 → ~₹14.5 lakhs (very safe)
₹15,000 per month SIP is ideal
How the System Works (Very Simple)
-
Mutual fund grows at ~11–12%
-
Annual profit generated > ₹45,000
-
Premium is paid fully from returns
-
Capital remains invested and keeps growing
This turns insurance into a self-running financial machine.

Keeping the plan aligned for decades
This strategy succeeds on discipline, not predictions.
