In short
Canara HSBC Life has launched a dollar-denominated ULIP for NRIs through GIFT City on Policybazaar. The product lets policyholders invest in global equities, precious metals such as gold and silver, and debt funds.

Why it matters
Canara HSBC Life is expanding its product lineup with a dollar-denominated ULIP aimed at NRIs and distributed through GIFT City on Policybazaar.
