Difference between Investment and Insurance

Insurance is product to transfer risk to the insurance company of your early death and to give the financial security to your family incase some unforseen and unfortunate event take place and you die whereas Investments is taking the risk and gaining maximum returns depending on your age and time period of your financial goal.
What is Insurance?
Insurance is nothing but an agreement between the insurer (The Insurance Company) and the insured (You) to pay an amount as compensation if any unexpected event occurs. This amount may vary from a few hundred to even a few crores. The maximum amount the insured person can claim depends on the amount agreed upon as per the insurance policy. The concept of insurance is brought into the market only because of the family protection in case if the only earning person died unexpectedly.
But, because of the market competition and pressure on selling more number of units, companies started rolling out the insurance policies with the mix of other features which is naturally exist in any other investment products. Unfortunately in India, there is very less steps taken to educate the customers about the insurance and financial planning. It is our life, customers should be very careful on their family and future.
Difference between Insurance and Investment
A lot of confusion on the difference between investment and insurance. Investment is something that we save up to use while we are alive. Insurance is something we save up for our family to use if we die early. The goals of Investment and Insurance are totally different. A lot of us take Insurance policies as investments.
