ICICI Pru Life Guard- Level Term Assurance with Return of Premium

Objective

This is a return-of-premium policy with an advantage of additional insurance cover for five years after policy term, without paying any extra premium.

What does it do?

This is the second variant of Life Guard policy. It pays sum assured to the nominee on death of the insured person. All premiums paid till maturity are repaid on survival. This plan can prolong the insurance protection for 5 years after maturity of the policy at 50 per cent of original sum assured. The additional coverage is available without paying any premium. However, rider benefits of the original policy will not be extended. Policies under this plan can be surrendered for a guaranteed value, provided three year premiums have been paid regularly. Waiver of premium is a valuable rider.

Pros

The policy returns premiums at maturity and offers riders for extra protection.
The policy can be surrendered in case of need.
Premiums qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons

Not suitable for anyone requiring a life cover higher than Rs 10 lakh.

Suited for

Those looking for a term plan with a low life insurance cover requirement of upto Rs 10 lakh may consider this plan. A lapsed policy can be revived within 5 years from the date of lapse, a considerably long period as compared to other policies.

Our View

The maximum sum assured is capped at Rs 10 lakh, which is a very low coverage. This variant of Life Guard policy is suitable for those who would expect something as maturity amount on surviving the policy term.
However, the premiums are high as compared to simple term plans. Such policies factor the cost of paying maturity benefits within the premium. Optional riders, if attached, widen the scope of coverage. A plain term insurance policy is most cost-effective insurance available till date.

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...

Use Mutual Fund SWPs for getting fixed payments

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   Investors time withdrawals optimally to save on tax The systematic withdrawal plan, or SWP, could be called the lesser known cousin of the much talked about and publicised systematic investment plan (SIP). There's yet another cousin — the Systematic Transfer Plan ( STP ). In SIP, you invest a fixed sum of money at regular intervals (monthly/ quarterly) to buy some units of a mutual fund scheme. In SWP, as the name suggests, you do the opposite: You redeem some mutual fund units from your portfolio to get a fixed sum of money at regular intervals (monthly/quarterly/half year/yearly). In SIP, you get a higher numbers of units when the markets are down, and lesser in a buoyant market. In SWP, going by the product logic, you redeem higher number of units when the markets are do...

Health insurance guide - Part I

Insurance, by definition, is morbid. What if I die suddenly? What if my home caught fire? What if I had to undergo expensive medical treatment? What if something that I thought happened only to others befell me? Insurers, who work with large samples, calculate the probability of such an event and, hence, the possibility of them having to pay out a sum of money to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effects of that disaster. However, the possibility of you undergoing some kind of expensive medical treatment during your lifetime is far more likely than you dying suddenly or your house burning down. Given that costs at private healthcare facilities, where you are most likely to land up, is high, and, doubling every four years 10 months or so, the rest of your money life could easily go out of whack if you had to incur such expenses. Just 12 per cent of India's population is covered with some sort of health insurance. Pared to the bone, for a comparatively small price, health insu...
