Best Child Plans available?

[Akshay]

I am looking for Child Plan to secure the future of my son. His age is 5 years. So looking to invest 30000/- per year, till he will be twenty year old. Which are the best Child Plans available?

Thanks,
Akshay

Don't invest in CHILD PLANS because you have seen pretty ads on TV or your insurance advisor told you to do so or just for name.

If you need Insurance Cover than you can check ICICI Smart Kid and HDFC YOUNGSTAR SUPER.
Please check ICICI Pru Life and HDFC Standard Life websites for more info about these policies.

Avoid child plans, instead invest in BETTER MANAGED EQUITY Mutual Funds for Better Returns. Check moneycontrol.com or valueresearchonline.com for rating of Mutual Funds.

Invest in Better Managed Equity/Balance Funds like -
1. HDFC Equity Fund
2. HDFC Prudence Fund
3. Reliance Regular Saving Fund EQUITY/Balance
Use the SIP method of investment and buy term insurance for yourself.
