IDBI Federal Homesurance Protection

Objective

This policy aims to protect your family from the liability of a home loan in the event of your death.

What does it do?

This home loan assurance plan pays outstanding loan amount to the nominee in case of unfortunate demise of the insured. This is a decreasing sum assured plan where the sum assured decreases as the loan is repaid.
The policy can also cover joint lives. The death benefit in this case becomes payable upon first death of any one of the co-borrowers. The policyholder has an option to add premiums to the loan amount and repay it as a part of EMI. It allows to take a policy term of maximum of 25 years. If borrower wishes to get insured for a period less than the loan tenure, he can opt for a fixed period coverage of 10 years. This feature is available for a loan term of 15 to 25 years. This policy covers increase in EMIs or loan amount due to rising interest rates. However, if the interest rate falls resulting in decrease in outstanding loan amount, the insurance company will pay higher of the outstanding loan as per policy schedule, as the death benefit. If death benefit is more than the outstanding home loan amount, the excess amount will be paid to nominees.
If home loan term includes construction period as well, the policy in case of any eventuality during that period, pays full sanctioned loan amount which can be used to repay the partly disbursed home loan and the builder. However, construction period coverage is limited to 3 years.
If the borrower prepays the home loan, the policyholder can either surrender the policy and receive surrender value applicable on that date or continue to enjoy the homesurance cover. In case of any unfortunate event, the amount as per policy schedule will be paid to the nominee. However, there is no guaranteed surrender value.The cover continues even if loan is transferred to another home loan company.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...
