A Big Fat Indian Wedding! That's how everyone in the world knows the Indian ceremonies for tying the knot. And with a good reason. The grandeur of the ceremonies and the big bucks involved make weddings a regal affair. Parents save for the wedding and spend lavishly for the big day. A new and much-needed trend in the wedding industry is wedding insurance.


What is wedding insurance?

When big money is involved, the risk of losing the money is also high. Any unforeseen event during the wedding can result in huge monetary loss to your family. To protect you against the risks, wedding insurance comes to your rescue.


Why do you need wedding insurance?

As with any insurance, wedding insurance covers you against uncertainties. It covers emergency situations that may arise due to various reasons. The cost of organizing the ceremony is already huge. Mishaps or cancellation can add up substantially to the wedding cost. A wedding insurance policy with can ensure coverage of such costs.


Cancellation or postponement

A wedding insurance covers cancellation or postponement due to fire at the venue or any natural calamity like an earthquake. The policy covers cancellation or postponement. If the insured person does not show up at the wedding due to an accident, death or hospitalization, he is covered.


Loss or damage of property

Your policy covers you for loss or damage caused to the venue due to natural calamities and fire. It also covers damage caused to décor, appliances, precious stones and gems, and jewellery.

Theft or burglary

A lot of valuables and jewellery are bought for a wedding. A good amount of cash is also kept handy for miscellaneous expenses. This is an opportunity for thieves. In the case of theft or burglary at the event, you are covered.


Public liability

An important inclusion in wedding insurance is the public liability cover. It ensures protection against injury or death of a third party due to an accident at the venue. The policy covers legal liability that may arise due to situations like food poisoning.


Personal accident

Those insured in the policy are covered against accidental death. Any disability caused due to the accident is also covered.


Bottom-line

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...

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.

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 ...
