ULIP Review: DLF Pramerica Ezee Wealth +


Product Details

DLF Pramerica Ezee Wealth + is a Type I unit linked insurance plan. It offers higher of the sum of death benefit or fund value as death benefit. Life coverage is fixed at 20 times the annual premium. The cost structure also looks expensive. However, the insurer has managed its equities well. The Balanced Fund has also generated returns better than the NIfty.

Our View

While the scheme does not require exhaustive medical tests, the product limits life coverage. It also gives out only 50% of the sum assured or fund value, which ever is higher, as death benefit in case of the unfortunate demise of the insured in the first year of policy.

Unique Feature

Apart from no medical tests, the scheme also has an added feature of fund conservation on maturity. Under this, three years prior to maturity the entire fund value gets transferred to the debt fund. This protects the fund from stock market vagaries.

For Existing Customers

Stay invested as the scheme's equity funds have generated big returns. One may add term insurance if life cover is not adequate. High risk-return investors may consider switching to the Large Cap Equity Fund. Exercise fund conservative option to secure returns on maturity.

For Those Looking to Invest

It is an expensive plan and does not offer adequate life insurance. However, one cannot overlook the equity performance of its funds. So, unless investment is the only objective and not insurance, one should stay away from this scheme.

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis

Max Life Monthly Income Advantage Plan

Money back policies are highly expensive, they mostly don't offer adequate insurance cover and they don't offer good returns Max Life Monthly Income Advantage Plan is a traditional money back policy. Money back policies are similar to endowment insurance plans where the policy provides for partial survival benefits during the term of the policy. These type of products are expensive, they mostly fail to offer adequate insurance cover and they don't offer good returns. What the agent has told you isn't correct. In this policy, the money back is in the form of regular income after completion of 10 years. At the end of premium paying term, you will get a guaranteed monthly income for 10 years which will be 1/12th of 10 percent of the sum assured.  So for instance, if your sum assured is R 10 Lakhs, then the guaranteed monthly income will be R 8333 (100000/12). The reversionary and terminal bonuses mentioned are not guaranteed. You will pay a very high pr
