Reliance Special Credit Guardian Plan

Objective

This is a loan protection cover with an aim to protect family members from the burden of loan repayment, in case the insured member dies. The policy also refunds premiums if the policyholder survives to maturity.

What does it do?

This is a decreasing term cover where sum assured reduces in line with the outstanding loan. This term insurance plan covers outstanding loans of the policyholder including housing loan, personal loan, outstanding loan on credit cards etc. It helps repay loans in case of financial fallout due to death of the policyholder.

This plan can increase coverage if one chooses the available riders along with the basic plan for some extra premium. These riders can be taken at the time of purchase or added at any policy anniversary.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.

Mutual Fund MIPs can give better returns than Post Office MIS

Post Office MIS vs  Mutual Fund MIPs   Post office Monthly Income Scheme has for long been a favourite with investors who want regular monthly income from their investments. They offer risk free 8.5% returns and are especially preferred by conservative investors, like retirees who need regular monthly income from their investments. However, top performing mutual fund monthly income plans (MIPs) have beaten Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), in terms of annualized returns over the last 5 years, by investing a small part of the corpus in equities which can give higher returns than fixed income investments. The value proposition of the mutual fund aggressive MIPs is that, the interest from debt investment is supplemented by an additional boost to equity returns. Please see the chart below for five year annualized returns from Post office MIS and top performing mutual fund MIPs, monthly d...

Benefits Of Repo Rate & CRR Rate Cut On Consumers

  How Reduction In Repo Rate & CRR Affects Customers Finally  RBI announced slashing of repo rate by 25 basis points (bps ) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 25 bps which industry experts believe will fuel the economic growth to some extent. Although experts were expecting higher rate cut this year. This lowering of the rate cuts has taken place for the first time in nine months. Now let's see how reducing the repo rate (defined in economic term as the rate at which RBI lends money to the banks) relates to the following individuals and sectors: Banking:   Lowering of repo rate directly reduces borrowing costs of a bank. Banks in turn reduces interest rates on different types of loans such as home, auto, business etc. Similarly trimming down of CRR allows banks to unlock money for lending to the customers i.e. with 0.25 rate cut banks are estimated to lend more than INR. 17 Crores. Consumers:   Lower repo rate does not necessarily benefit existing loan borrowers but new loan se...

NRI Corner: The process of remittances abroad

The process of remittances abroad, and back, is cumbersome. Here’s how you can wade through without hassles Approach The Right Place Outward remittances or the process of sending money abroad is governed by many regulations. In India, outward remittances are made mainly through banks. At the outset, you need to remember that you just cannot trust any individual or a financial firm with the responsibility of sending your money. Experts recommend that you should always try to choose a bank with an international footprint, which will make your job easier. Choose Mode Of Transfer The next step is to choose the mode of transfer. One option is to get a Foreign Currency Demand Draft ( FCDD ). This draft will be denominated in foreign currency and should be drawn in favour of the recipient/ beneficiary. The beneficiary does not necessarily need to have an account with the same bank. The other option is to send money via wire transfer. Do not be puzzled if the bank official uses the word SWIFT ...
