What Is Student Insurance Policy?

A student insurance policy offers the blend of medical and travel insurance for the student travelling abroad for higher studies.

This policy has been designed for students travelling abroad for longer period. This product offers you the benefits of both medical and travel insurance. As medical treatments are very costly, this policy covers the cost of any medical treatment required by the insured. Moreover, if the insured meets with an accident or becomes disabled, then this policy would help them to recover from the losses. Apart from this, it also offers the benefits of travel insurance which covers loss of passport or baggage while travelling.

How To Select A Student Policy?

Choosing an insurance policy is one of the pre-requisites that makes you eligible to take admission in some of the universities abroad. You must take a look at some crucial parameters which you think are required to be covered under your insurance policy like :-

  • Your medical expenses :- Your policy should cover all your medical expenses like illness, accident etc.
  • Study discontinuation expenses :- If you discontinue your study due to your poor health then your policy should cover your losses.
  • Sponsor Protection Expenses :- Your policy should also cover your sponsor (parents) against accidental expenses when you are abroad.
  • Return Journey Expenses :-  The expenses incurred for returning back must be covered.
  • Loss of passport :- Your policy should also cover losses due to loss of your passport during your stay abroad.
  • Loss of checked-in baggage :- Your policy should cover loss of checked-in baggage during travel.

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...

Term insurance

Term insurance may not be the most-marketed product by life cos, but it’s a must-have in today’s risk-prone lifestyle WHEN was the last time your insurance agent sold a term plan to you? It’s not a very popular policy among agents, as their commission in absolute terms is low because of the low-premium. Just as agents have their self interests in mind while selling, you need to make your own decision about your insurance needs, which are unique to your family. COST ADVANTAGE A term plan is pure protection. It is the cheapest type of life insurance policy. But what you see might not be what you get, most insurers have a range of health parameters for standard rates. If any of your health parameters — weight, blood pressure for instance fall outside this range, you will pay more. For some companies, the standard range is very narrow. EARLY BIRD GAINS A 30-year-old will pay 15% more premium than a 25-year-old. At 40, the premium is double of what is applicable for a 25-year old, points...

Anybody with an investable surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees can invest in Mutual Funds.

These could range from shares to debentures to money market instruments, depending upon the scheme's stated objectives.

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...
