Bajaj Allianz’s new Ulip to offer 170% returns in 10 years

Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance has announced the launch of a unit-linked plan that offers a minimum guarantee of 170% at maturity. This Ulip with guaranteed returns will be available for customers from January 11. This is a single-premium life insurance policy, known as Shield Plus, and the term is fixed at 10 years and the minimum premium requirement is Rs 25,000. The returns, which work to around 5.45% on this product, could be compared to that of a bank or a post office deposit. But since the product has an equity exposure, there is a strong possibility of outperformance over the long term, say experts. The sum assured could be equal to 1.1 times or five times of the single premium paid, which takes care of the protection element of the Ulip. However, the insurer has capped the maximum sum assured at 1.1 times the single premium for individuals in the age group of 56-65 years. The product offers a choice of six funds but only Shield Plus Fund offers minimum guaranteed unit price at maturity.

Avoid NFOs

  Don't get taken in by the flurry of new fund offers. You will be better off sticking to the tried and tested schemes.   For the past one year, to cash in on the bull run in equities, mutual fund houses have gone on a new fund offer (NFO) overdrive. But experts are unanimous in their advice: avoid NFOs . While past performance is not an indicator of how a fund will fare in the future, it does tell the investor how skilful the fund manager is. This crucial information is missing in an NFO. Not only is there no track record to judge an NFO by, many NFOs are similar to funds that already exist. If the new fund is similar to existing funds, you are better off investing in the latter. Around 67% of the new launches in 2014 were closed-end products. Investing in the NFO of a closed-end fund is doubly risky. In case the fund's performance is lacklustre, a closed-end fund does not allow you to exit. Even though closed-end funds are listed on the stock...

Know the loan-eligibility before buying a house

WHILE on a house-hunting spree, prospective buyers do a great amount of homework before identifying their dream home - the location, property rates in the vicinity, carpet area, developer's reputation, proximity to the railway station/bus stop and so on. Once these aspects score high on the satisfaction front, a decision is made. However, very rarely do the buyers evaluate their own eligibility for getting a loan before finalising the house. Often, the loan sanction is taken for granted. As a result, they get a shock when their loan request is rejected. Therefore, it is best to objectively assess your repayment capacity and take into account other factors before applying for a loan. Here are a few reasons why your loan request could be turned down: Inadequate Income: The bank or HFC may refuse a loan if your earnings fall short of the minimum desired income level prescribed by the lender. Irregular income streams, too, could play spoilsport. At your end, to eliminate this possibi...
