Most RON investment funds attached to unit-linked insurance inthe first eight months of the year generated a return that toppedgoods and services price growth. However, there were also fundswith negative results, which dragged the market average down.


Though a more visible price increase is expected for August inthe wake of the VAT hike, around 20 funds will stay above inflationrate, due to go beyond 6%.
Against the increases posted in the same period of last year,insurers' investment funds do not have better performance.
However, insurers note that life insurance needs to be analysedover a longer period of time, of at least one or two years, themore so as small investors react to return fluctuations.
Gross underwritten premiums in life insurance linked to investmentfunds reached almost 43m euros in the first quarter of this year,namely almost 43% of total gross underwritten premiums in lifeinsurance.
