Star Union DAI-ICHI - Defined Growth Endowment Insurance Plan

Defined Growth Endowment Insurance Plan (DGEP) is an endowment product from Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance with fixed policy terms of 15, 20 and 25 years. The scheme offers to pay guaranteed additions ranging from 5% to 8% depending on the policy term. The additions accrue each year and are paid to the policyholder at the time of maturity along with the sum assured. In the event of death of the policy holder before maturity, the nominee is entitled to receive the entire amount of sum assured along with guaranteed additions accrued till the date of death.

Key Features

The guaranteed additions are phased-in in an ascending order of the policy term, ie, 5% of the sum assured to be paid during the first five policy years, 6% during the next five, 7% for the next five years, and so on. The scheme also provides for a one-time payment of loyalty addition, ranging from 2.5% to 7.5% of the sum assured, payable on maturity.
   

Star Union Dai-ichi - Defined Growth Endowment Insurance is a comprehensive endowment plan with insurance cover and investment gains on maturity. While one might assume the guaranteed returns of 5-8% throughout the policy term to be an attractive proposition, the fact remains that these returns fall short of expectations when compared with the up to 10% returns being offered by many other guaranteed investment products available in the market today.

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
