Tata AIA Life Maha Raksha Supreme

Objective

This is an offline term insurance policy with two variants. Both variants aim at providing financial security to family members of insured person. The second variant- Extra protection cover provides waiver-of-premium benefit if insured develops total permanent disability.

What does it do?

This policy offers two variants- Pure protection cover and Extra protection cover. Pure protection cover is a simple term policy where the nominees receive death benefit on death of the policyholder and the policy ends. Extra protection cover is an enhanced version with a waiver-of-premium option which will continue to provide protection in case of total permanent disability of the insured, without future premiums. Once a claim is admitted under the waiver-of-premium benefit, all rider benefits will terminate.
Both variants offer an additional life stage plus option which allows policyholders to increase cover at future milestone events such as marriage or birth of a child. The sum assured can be increased by 10 to 50 per cent of basic sum assured, subject to maximum of Rs 50 lakh, for additional premium. The sum assured should be increased within a year of the milestone event and it cannot be availed after 50 years of age and in the last 10 years of the policy. This option needs to be selected at the time of policy purchase.
This policy also features a payout accelerator benefit that pays 50 per cent of basic sum assured if insured person is diagnosed with any of the covered critical illnesses, and he is not expected to survive longer than 6 months.
Death benefit under both variants of the policy will include basic sum assured and additional sum assured from the life stage plus option and exclude the payout accelerator benefit if paid earlier.
Apart from above benefits, this policy offers riders like accidental disablement benefit, critical illness and surgical benefits which can be bought by paying extra premiums.

Pros

The policy offers premium discount for opting sum assured above Rs 1 crore.
Riders can be added or deleted anytime during the policy term.
Terminal illness benefit is an advantage.
Women enjoy lower premium rates.
Premiums paid under this policy qualify for tax benefits.

Suited for

Both variants of the policy are useful. The waiver-of-premium rider is suitable for all as it allows the cover to continue without paying premiums if insured person gets permanently disabled.

Our View

This policy is worth buying if you are looking to buy a traditional pure term insurance policy through intermediaries. Although it is a bit expensive compared to online term policies, it offers many benefits. Inbuilt waiver-of-premium benefit, payout accelerator benefit, optional riders, optional life stage plus option make this a comprehensive policy.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

Salary planning Article

1. The salary (basic + DA) should be low. The rest should come by way of such allowances on which the employer pays FBT and you don't pay any tax thereon. 2.

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
