Reliance Special Term Plan

Objective

The policy aims at providing financial support to a family in case of death of the policyholder. The policy returns premiums on survival at maturity.

What does it do?

This term insurance plan pays sum assured to the nominee in the event of death of life insured. It also refunds entire basic premiums paid on policyholder's survival at maturity.
The policy does not lapse but continues as paid-up one if premiums are not paid after first 3 years.
Policy can be surrendered after completing 3 policy years.

Pros

This plan refunds entire basic premium paid on maturity and also allows to surrender the policy.
Women can avail discount on premium and pay premium equal to 3 years younger male policyholder.
It offers riders to enhance coverage.
It has a higher policy reinstatement period of 3 years, in case of a lapse.
Premiums paid toward the policy qualify for tax benefit under Section 80C of Income Tax Act.

Cons

Single premium policy can be taken for a maximum of 15 years only which may not be an adequate term for everyone.

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those who cannot pay premiums for a simple term plan without any survival benefit. It refunds basic premiums if insured survives the policy term.

Our View

A pure term plan is a definite buy for everyone. Even though there is an option to surrender the policy, you should not do it and continue till end of the term. This saves you from paying higher premiums if you buy a new plan at later ages.
Single premium plan may prove to be expensive as compared to regular premium payment option as you lock in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company.

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...
