Kotak eTerm Plan

Objective

This online term insurance policy aims to provide financial support to the family members in case of death of the insured member. This policy offers to increase the sum assured on important events in your life.

What does it do?

This term plan pays sum assured in case of unfortunate demise of the insured. The policy does not pay any maturity or surrender value. The plan provides a 'Step Up' option that allows to increase sum assured at special events, by paying additional premium. The choice to avail this option has to be specified at the time of purchase, and the premiums will be charged accordingly. The additional fee, for step up option, will be charged till 45 years of age or end of policy term, whichever is earlier.
Sum assured under this option can be increased only up to a maximum limit for each event. Also the total sum assured should be less than 3 times of the basic sum assured.
The maximum sum assured limit for marriage or purchase of a house is 50 per cent of base sum assured, birth or legal adoption of a child and the first, third and fifth policy anniversary offer 25 per cent of basic sum assured as additional coverage.
The cost of insurance will increase by 3 per cent (of basic premium) for policies with a term up to 15 years and 5 per cent for policies with a tenure longer than 15 years.
Alternatively, the policy also offers a 'Step Down' option to reduce the sum assured after availing step up option. Exercising this option will cost Rs 500 per request.
This policy can also be converted into any Kotak plan, without medical check up, if the policy still has 5 years to maturity.

Pros

The plan can be purchased online at convenience.The option to increase sum assured on events like marriage, purchase of house, birth of child or policy anniversary, without having to undergo any medical tests, takes care of increasing insurance needs.
Policyholder may convert this plan to any other plan offered by kotak except another term plan.
Women enjoy discount on premiums.
This policy eliminates agents from the sales process and passes the low cost benefit to policyholders.

Cons

Step up option has to be selected at the time of purchasing the policy and not during the term .
Highest sum assured is limited to Rs 24.99 lakhs which may serve everyone's needs.
The policy does not offer any riders for additional coverage.

Suited for

A pure term insurance policy is a definite buy for everyone. This policy can be taken by those who can make online purchase without services of agents.

Our View

Being an online policy, this plan passes the low cost benefit to the buyers as reduced premiums. The option to increase sum assured can be availed by young buyers, yet to marry or purchase property. Non-availability of riders makes a separate health and accidental cover necessary.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...
