A Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is a product offered by insurance companies that, unlike a pure insurance policy, gives investors both insurance and investment under a single integrated plan.

A sub-account acts similar to a mutual fund, except it's only available within a variable life insurance policy.
