ICICI Pru Life Guard- Level Term Assurance with Return of Premium


	Objective		This is a return-of-premium policy with an advantage of additional insurance cover for five years after policy term, without paying any extra premium.

What does it do?		This is the second variant of Life Guard policy. It pays sum assured to the nominee on death of the insured person. All premiums paid till maturity are repaid on survival. This plan can prolong the insurance protection for 5 years after maturity of the policy at 50 per cent of original sum assured. The additional coverage is available without paying any premium. However, rider benefits of the original policy will not be extended. Policies under this plan can be surrendered for a guaranteed value, provided three year premiums have been paid regularly. Waiver of premium is a valuable rider.

Pros		The policy returns premiums at maturity and offers riders for extra protection. The policy can be surrendered in case of need. Premiums qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons		Not suitable for anyone requiring a life cover higher than Rs 10 lakh.

Suited for		Those looking for a term plan with a low life insurance cover requirement of upto Rs 10 lakh may consider this plan. A lapsed policy can be revived within 5 years from the date of lapse, a considerably long period as compared to other policies.

Our View		The maximum sum assured is capped at Rs 10 lakh, which is a very low coverage. This variant of Life Guard policy is suitable for those who would expect something as maturity amount on surviving the policy term. However, the premiums are high as compared to simple term plans. Such policies factor the cost of paying maturity benefits within the premium. Optional riders, if attached, widen the scope of coverage. A plain term insurance policy is most cost-effective insurance available till date.

The fund sticks to its mandate to adapt to the dynamic nature of the market by shuttling between debt and equity. It takes aggressive asset calls in equity when the market surges by investing in quality mid-cap stocks. At the same time, it adopts a defensive strategy by investing in debt and cash when markets get overvalued, making it a good long-term choice.

What are the factors affect the changes in Interest Rate of Fixed Deposits?

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions. While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application. Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...
