Kotak Wealth Optima Plan is a non-participating unit-linked individual life insurance savings product. It combines life insurance protection with investment in market-linked funds. The plan provides two investment strategies: Self-Managed Strategy, where the policyholder chooses from available funds, and Age-Based Strategy, where the investment mix follows the strategy rules. Policyholders can select a limited-pay structure and, where eligible, choose a whole-life option with cover up to age 99. The product also provides for Yearly Additions beginning at the end of the sixth policy year and Wealth Boosters at specified milestones, subject to the policy remaining in force and applicable premium conditions. These additions do not make the underlying market-linked returns guaranteed. The fund value can rise or fall with investment performance and charges. ULIPs do not permit surrender or withdrawals during the first five policy years.
Choose Self-Managed or Age-Based investment strategy, with Yearly Additions and Wealth Boosters subject to policy conditions
Kotak Wealth Optima Plan is structured for long-term investment and life protection rather than short-term liquidity. The official product page lists a minimum premium of ₹2,00,000 annually, ₹1,00,000 half-yearly, ₹50,000 quarterly or ₹16,000 monthly. For non-whole-life options, policy terms of 10, 15 or 20 years are available, subject to the permitted premium payment term. The whole-life option runs to age 99, with eligible limited-pay choices. The insurer advertises Yearly Additions from the end of year 6 and Wealth Boosters from the end of year 10 at specified later milestones. These are governed by policy conditions and should not be confused with guaranteed market returns. Review the latest brochure, fund choices, charges, death-benefit formula, surrender rules and benefit illustration before purchase. The policyholder bears the investment risk.
