P&B MetLife's Sneaky Advertising Tactics with U-Lip
P&B MetLife entices potential investors with what appears to be a small cap mutual fund, emphasizing significant gains and investment opportunities without adequately disclosing that it is a unit linked insurance plan (U-lip). By presenting the product as a mutual fund rather than an insurance scheme, they target the trend of small cap fund investments. This advertising strategy could mislead investors who may not be familiar with the differences between mutual funds and U-lips, potentially leading to misconceptions and uninformed investment decisions.
