At the same time, the other part goes into various financial instruments, including mutual investment funds.

Successful investments affect the profitability of these investments, but are not guaranteed.

In the event of the death of the insured, his heirs or beneficiaries receive the insurance payment and funds from the savings in the investment part of the policy.

Experts remind that if an insured event does not occur before the end of the contract, the client will be able to get back the accumulated investment portion of the money in full.

The explanatory note to the law emphasizes that the person who has entered into a life insurance contract will be able to decide for themselves where the insurer will invest the funds.
