L&T my: health Medisure Prime Insurance

 

Objective

A special health insurance policy that aims to provide a wide coverage for hospitalisation expenses, critical illness, maternity and other expenses. The policy also automatically restores the sum assured in case of accidental hospitalisation.

 

Suited for

This policy can be bought for an individual or family to cover spouse and up to two dependent children.

 

What does it do?

The policy offers a bouquet of benefits including hospitalisation benefit, critical illness cover for 10 major illnesses, maternity expenses, automatic restoration of sum insured in case of accidental hospitalisation and other incidental expenses. Maternity expenses will be covered only after four years from inception of the policy. There is a special provision in case of hospitalisation due to accident that can restore the sum insured once the opted cover is exhausted.
For policy premiums, persons paying premium for Zone I, can avail treatment all over India without any sub-limits. Similarly, a person paying premium in Zone II can avail treatment in Zone II and III. If a policyholder paying premiums according to Zone II avails treatment in Zone I, he would have to co-pay 10 per cent of the concerned claim.
A person paying premium in Zone III will be required to bear 10 per cent and 20 per cent if treatment is availed in Zone II and Zone I respectively.

 

Pros

The policy has no sub-limits. It allows lifetime renewal.
It also offers a convalescence benefit to cover expenses during recovery period, after discharge. It also provides for pre and post natal expenses.
Premium paid under this policy will be eligible for tax exemption under Section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Our View

This policy offers a broad range of benefits. Automatic restoration of sum insured for hospitalisation due to an accident is a valuable feature but cannot be seen as a substitute of Personal Accident policy as the former does not provide accidental death and disability benefits. Similarly critical illness benefit covers 10 major illnesses whereas, a standalone critical illness covers more illnesses

Mutual Fund Exit Load Changes

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Bond Funds

These are schemes that invest in fixed income instruments of short durations. Short-term bond funds with less than one year duration are good investment options provided you have a one-year investment horizon. Lower average maturity of the fund ensures that the fund NAV is not hit much when short-term interest rates move up. We expect the RBI to hike the policy rates by 50 to 75 basis points in this calendar year. That makes it a bit tricky for short-term bond fund investors. Check the average maturity and exit load before you invest in a short-term bond fund. As a rule of thumb, the average maturity should be less than your investment time frame. Some funds do charge an exit load if you log out early. To avoid such a cut in the returns earned, it is better to check at what threshold of time the fund charges an exit load. The funds have a wide range of 'exit load' thresholds. Some charge an exit load if you were to redeem units within 90 days, while there are some that let ...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
