Portability To Take Off

The much-awaited health insurance portability became effective from October 1, last year, but by all accounts, it has been a slow starter so far. However, insurers expect it to pick up speed between January and March, when salaried individuals are on a tax-saver-instrument buying spree. The framework could also spawn newer varieties of products and services. With increasing awareness on health insurance portability, more proposals on portability can be expected in the year 2012, value-added services will be launched in terms of second medical opinion, vaccinations, and discounts on health care facilities like on diagnostics and preventive health care facilities, like gyms.

Distribution To Spread Wings

After the Ulip charge ceilings that were placed in September 2010, many agents saw their business dwindle and eventually dropped out. The year 2012 could see the fructification of the agent-mentoring model that the Irda has mooted. The initiatives around creation of a senior, mentoring agents framework, new bancassurance norms and regulatory push towards shifting focus from metros to semi-urban and rural areas will widen access to products.

Expansion In Coverage

The list of health insurers offering OPD products that extend coverage to maternity expenses and dental treatment could grow longer this year, with Irda itself backing it. The Irda chief has asked insurance companies to target a larger healthcare cover, over and above hospitalisation policies, by creating such OPD products. With the entry of more international players, we expect cost-effective OPD — comprehensive health insurance policies in 2012. At present, most basic health policies kick in only if the insured is hospitalised for at least 24 hours or is undergoing treatment through day-care procedures.

Choose gold ETF over Physical Gold

Investing in gold is overall a good portfolio hedging strategy as long as gold does not account for more than 5-10 per cent of your investment portfolio. Between physical gold and gold ETF, investing in gold ETF is a better proposition because these funds invest in physical gold making them the closest to investing in physical gold at no risk of holding physical gold.   You will need to have a demat account to invest in gold ETFs and there is little to choose between any of the gold ETFs, you can pick any fund that you wish to as long as you pick the fund with the lowest expense ratio.   -----------------------------------------------------------------   Also, know how to buy mutual funds online:   1) DSP BlackRock Mutual Funds: http://prajnacapital.blogspot.com/2011/05/buying-dsp-blackrock-mutual-funds.html   2) Reliance Mutual Funds: http://prajnacapital.blogspot.com/2011/06/buying-reliance-mutual-funds-online.html   3) Reliance Mutual Funds: http://prajnacapital....

Commercial Paper (CP)

Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Mutual Fund Application Forms Commercial Paper (CP): These are issued by corporate entities in denominations of Rs.2.5mn and usually have a maturity of 90 days. CPs can also be issued for maturity periods of 180 and one year but the most active market is for 90 day CPs.   Two key regulations govern the issuance of CPs-firstly, CPs have to be compulsorily rated by a recognized credit rating agency and only those companies can issue CPs which have a short term rating of at least P1. Secondly, funds raised through CPs do not represent fresh borrowings for the corporate issuer but merely substitute a part of the banking limits available to it. Hence, a company issues CPs almost always to save on interest costs ie it will issue CPs only when the environment is such that CP issuance will be at rates lower than the rate at which it borrows money from its banking consortium. ----------------------...
