I am a 32-year-old male investing ₹2,500 per month in HDFC ULIP Pension Plan II in Balance and Growth fund both since January 2009. Lately I have been contemplating about taking out the amount accumulated in both Growth and Balance fund and investing the same in my existing mutual funds. Is it practical?

We do not recommend insurance plans with savings or investment elements in them. Such plans offer very little insurance cover. They are also not a great investment option. You have completed six years with the policy and have already borne major expenses. However, the policy is still charging you around 4% p.a or even more. It would be better idea to surrender this policy. You will not have to pay any surrender charge. Investing in well-rated mutual funds is obviously a better decision. For life insurance cover, you should always buy a plain online term insurance.
