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.
  • Your policy should also cover you against any bailable crime or damage to a public property.

Some Indian insurance companies offer insurance products for students going abroad but the cost of policy varies depending on the country they are travelling. The countries having expensive medical treatments like USA and Canada, cost higher  compared to other countries. Lets have a look at the Indian companies that offer this product:

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

SBI bonds FAQ

  Maximum retail subscription and over – subscription There is a lot of excitement around these bonds, so I won't be surprised if they get over-subscribed on the first day itself. So, I thought Sameer asked a very good question about over-subscription. Here is that discussion. Here are some other questions that you may find useful. Can I trade the SBI bonds on NSE after it lists? Yes, these can be traded after listing. Where can I get the application forms, and can I buy the bonds online? You can get the application from notified branches, and then fill it up there and submit it. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to invest in them online, but if anyone knows otherwise then please leave a message, and let us know. Can NRIs apply for these bonds? NRIs can't apply for these bonds as they fall under one of the ineligible categories. Can you take a loan by keeping the SBI bonds as security? The terms of the issue in the prospectus state that the bank shall no...

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...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.
