Put simply, life insurance provides your family with a sum of money should something happen to you. It protects your family from financial crises. Life insurance or life assurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individuals or individuals death or other event, such as terminal illness or critical illness. In return, the policy owner agrees to pay a stipulated amount at regular intervals or in lump sums. In addition to serving as a protective cover, life insurance acts as a flexible money saver scheme which empowers you to accumulate wealth to buy a new car, get your children married and then even retire comfortably life insurance also triples up as an ideal tax- saving scheme.

TYPES OF INSURANCE PLANS- TRADITIONAL OR UNIT LINKED: (ULIP: UNIT LINKED INSURANCE PLAN)Insurance plans- At a glance Broadly, insurance plans can be distinctly divided into ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plans) and traditional plans. A brief detail of both segments: 1. ULIP: ULIP or unit linked insurance plans, have gained high acceptance due to the attractive features they offer. Benefits include Flexibility, Transparency, Liquidity and Fund options. a) Flexibility: A ULIP offer the customer an acute degree of flexibility: the flexibility to choose the sum assured, and to choose the desired premium amount. ULIP give the customer the option of changing the level of premium/ sum assured even after the plan has started and the flexibility to change asset allocation by switching between funds with ease. b) Transparency: ULIP offers a high degree of transparency where all charges in the plan as well as the entire net amount invested is made known to the customer ULIPs also offer the convince of tracking your investment performance or a day basis, so you can decide instantly where you want your assets allocated. c) Liquidity: A ULIP offers you the option of withdrawing money a few years into the plan, allowing for the exigencies of life. Alternatively, a ULIP will also allow for partial/ systematic withdrawal should the need arise. d) Fund operations: A ULIP will offer you a wide choice of funds, ranging through equity, debt, cash or a combination of three. The customer is also afforded the option of choosing your fund mix based on your desired asset allocation.

2. TRADITIONAL PLANS: These are the oldest types of insurance plans available. These plans cater to customers with a low risk appetite. Some of the common features of traditional plans are: a) Steady Investment: Major chunk of investible funds are in debt instruments. Steady and almost assured returns over the long term. b) Features: Death benefit is sum assured + guaranteed and vested bonus. Helps in asset creation as they are for a long tenure. Premium to sum assured ratios are fixed for each plan and age. Generally withdrawals are not allowed before maturity.

B. RETIREMENT INSURANCE: Why is retirement planning important? ANS. RETIRE FROM WORK. NOT FROM LIFE.

A retirement plan is an assurance that you will continue to earn a satisfying income and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, even when you are no longer working. To understand why an increasing number of individuals have already started planning for their retirement, and why you should too, read on. Independence is the new way of life: A increasing number of young Indian professionals are moving away from the traditional joint family structure. Since support no longer comes easily, parents have realized the need to provide for themselves during their retirement years. Costs set to soar: Sky rocketing costs throw even a well salaried person off balance. With rates rising every day, you can imagine how high they will be when you are ready to retire. A retirement plan provides you with a steady income every month, to arm you in the face of rising costs. To understand how inflation can impact your monthly expenses, use our special tool, the inflation Index Calculator. Non-earning retirement phase is now longer: Only 4% of India working population mostly government employees- are covered by pensions. The remaining 96% comprises self employed and salaried professionals who dont have a formal, mandated provision for pensions. ICICI Prudential offers two key retirement plans. ICICI Pru Life Stage Advantage and ICICI Pru Life Time Maxima flexible income cum insurance plans that ensure you meet all your retirement requirements. So you can retire peacefully from work, but not from life.

Why to start planning for retirement right away? ANS. EXAMPLE: Both Ramesh and Vikram want to retire at the age of 60 years. To take you of his post retirement requirements, Ramesh invests a total amount of Rs 35 lakhs towards his retirement corpus. On the other hand,Vikram invests a total of Rs 50 lakhs towards his retirement. Despite investing less, Ramesh accumulates Rs 298 lakh, compared to Vikrams accumulation of Rs 216 lakh! Read on to find out how What Ramesh had in his favor was TIME. He began investing a sum of Rs 1 lakh p.a. earlier, at the age of 25 years, upto the age of 60. Ramesh, to compensate for long time, saved twice the amount invested by Ramesh i.e. Rs 2 lakh every year from the age of 35, till the age of 59 years. It is for this precise reason you should plan for your retirement now and not later: so you get the advantage of investments that multiply quickly each year, giving you the added advantage.

The graph above shows the retirement amount both Ramesh and Vikram accumulate by the age of 60 years. Please note: The assumption is that both investments appreciate at the rate of 10% per annum

ULIPs : AN INTRODUCTION:Most importantly, what are ULIPs? Here, you will find all the information you need to set your mind at ease about how to invest in ULIPs, and which ULIP is right for you. ULIPs are a category of goal based financial solutions that combine the safety of insurance protection with wealth creation opportunities. In ULIPs, a part of investment goes towards providing you life cover. The residual portion of the ULIP is invested in a fund which in turn invests in stocks or bonds; the value of investments alters with the performance of the underlying fund opted by you. Simply put, ULIPs are structured in such that the protection element are distinguishable, and hence managed according to your specific needs. In this way, the ULIP plan offers unprecedented flexibility and transparency.

WORKING OF ULIPs:It is critical that you understand how your money gets invested once you purchase a ULIP. When you decide the amount of premium to be paid and the amount of life cover you want from the ULIP, the insurer deducts some portion of the ULIP premium upfront. This portion is known as the Premium Allocation Charge, and varies from product to product. The rest of the premium is invested in the fund or mixture of funds chosen by you. Mortality charges and ULIP administration charges are thereafter deducted on a periodic (mostly monthly) basis by cancellation of units, whereas the ULIP fund management charges are adjusted from NAV on a daily basis. Since the fund of your choice has an underlying investment- either in equity or debt or a combination of the two- your fund value will reflect the performance of the underlying asset classes. At the time of maturity of your plan, you are entitled to receive the fund value as at the time of maturity. The pie- chart below illustrates the split of your ULIP premium.

ULIP CHARGES:What are the Different Kind of Charges in a ULIP? Unlike conventional traditional products charges are segregated in ULIP and thus made known to the customer. You can know the charges applicable on your ULIP through: Sales benefit illustration: A sales benefit illustrates various charges, year by year, for the term of the plan so that you know exactly how much money is deducted as charges and what is invested. Brochure: A brochure informs you about the various charges and their purpose applicable on your policy. Advisor: you should enquire your advisor about all the charge applicable on your policy. Although ULIPs offered by different insurers have varying charge structure broadly, important charges that you should know. Policy administration charges: These charges are deducted on a monthly basis to recover the expenses incurred by the insurer on servicing and maintaining the life insurance policy like paperwork, workforce, etc. Premium allocation charges: these charges are deducted upfront from the premium paid by the client. These charges account for the initial expenses incurred by the company in issuing the policy- e.g. cost of underwriting, medicals and expenses related to distribution fees. After these charges are deducted the money gets invested in the chosen fund. Mortality charges: mortality expenses are charged by life insurance companies for providing a life cover to the individual. The expenses vary with the age and either the sum assured or the sum at risk which is the difference between sum assured and fund value of the insurance policy of an individual. Mortality charges are deducted on a monthly basis.

Fund management charges: A portion of ULIP premium, depending on the fund chosen, is invested either in equities, bonds or money market instruments. Sometimes it is a combination of these. Managing these investments incurs a fund management charge (FMS). The FMS varies from fund to fund even within the same insurance company depending on the underlying assets in the fund. Usually a fund with higher equity component will have a higher FMC. The important thing to note about ULIPs that the overall charge structure for the plan comes down substantially over a long term. However it may be noted that insurers have the right to revise fees and charges over a period of time. The above can be very simply broken down into: What a ULIP is A plan which gives complete clarity about the various charges deducted and why its being deducted and so how your fund will grow over time. What a ULIP is not A plan in which you dont know where your money is going or what is happening to it.

TYPES OF ULIPs:One of the big advantages that a ULIP offers is that whatever be your specific financial objective, chances are that there is a ULIP which is just right for you. The figure below gives a general guide to the different goals that people have at various age- groups and thus, various life- stages.

Depending on your specific life stage and the corresponding goal, there is a ULIP which can help you plan it.

A. ULIPs For Retirement Planning: Retirement is the end of active employment and brings with it the cessation of regular income. Today an increasing number of people have stated planning for their retirement for below mentioned reasons. I. Almost 96% of the working population has no formal provisions for retirement. II. With the growing nuclearization of the family structure, traditional support system of the younger earning members- is no longer available. III. Developments in the health care space leads to an increase in life expectancy. IV. Cost of living is increasing at an alarming rate. Pension plans from insurance company ensure that regular, disciplined savings in such plans can accumulate over a period of time to provide a steady income post- retirement. Usually all retirement plans have two distinctive phases. I. II. The accumulation phase when you are saving and investing during your earning years to build up a retirement corpus. And The withdrawal phase when you actually reap the benefits of your investment as your annuity payout begin.

In a typical pension plan you have the flexibility to make a lump sum payment or a regular contribution every year during year earning years. Your money is then invested in funds of your choice. You can opt to receive the annuity at any time after vesting age. (age at which you become eligible for pension chosen by you at the inception of the plan.) Most of the Unit Linked Pension Plans also come with a wide range of annuity options which gives you choice in structuring the post- retirement

benefits payouts. Also at the time of vesting you can make a lump sum taxexempted withdrawal of upto 33% of the accumulated corpus. In the retirement plan, the earlier you begin the greater you gain post retirement due to the power of compounding. Let us take an example of Gaurav and Hari. Both of them want to retire at the age of 60. Gaurav starts investing Rs. 10,000 every year from the age of 25 till the time that he retires. In all, he would have invested Rs. 350,000. If his investment were to earn 7% return every year, at the time of his retirement, Gaurav will have a retirement corpus of Rs. 13,82,368. Now, Hari starts investing 10 years later (i.e. at the age of 35) and in order to make up for the lost time, invests Rs. 15,000 every year (which is 50% more than Gauravs annual investment). So, by the time of his retirement, he would have invested Rs. 375,000. And assuming the same annual return of 7%, he will end up with a retirement corpus of Rs. 9,48,735.

So, you see how despite setting aside more than 50% of Gauravs annual contribution, Haris ends up with a retirement corpus which is almost a third lesser than Gauravs. this is the power of compounding.

B. ULIPs FOR CHILDRENS EDUCATION: One of the most important responsibilities you have as a parent is to ensure that your child gets the best possible education that can be provided. Apart from conventional schooling, it becomes important to expose your child to different activities such as dance, painting and sports training for holistic development. As a parent, you want to ensure that their development is not hampered either due to rising costs or unforeseen circumstances. Today there are ULIPs that offer money at key milestones of your childs education thus ensuring that your childs education continues unhampered even if something unfortunate happens to you. While, the death of a parent is an irreparable emotional loss, child education plans safeguard the child against the financial ramifications of the death of a parent. Apart from above mentioned benefit, child plans also offer below mentioned features: Flexibility of adding on various riders like income benefit rider, disability rider, etc to get additional benefits.

C. ULIPs FOR LONG TERM WEALTH CREATION: ULIPs are the right insurance solutions for you if you are looking for a strong wealth creation proposition allied to a core insurance benefit. Such plans are ideal for people who are in their late 20s and early 30s and by investing in such a plan get the flexibility of using it to fund any of their long term financial goals such as purchase of a house or funding their childrens education. The added element of life cover serves to make these plans a wholesome financial investment option. Wealth creation ULIPs can be primarily classified as: Single premium- regular premium plan: Depending upon you needs and premium paying capacity you can either opt for a single premium plan where you need to pay premium only once during the term of entire policy or regular premium plans where you can premium at a frequency chosen by you depending upon your convenience. Guarantee plans- Non guarantee plans: Today there are wealth creation ULIPs which also offer guaranteed benefit. These plans are ideal insurance-cum-investment option for customers who want to enjoy the potentially higher returns (over the long term) of a market linked instrument, but without taking any market risk. On the other hand non guarantee plans comes with an inbuilt range of fund options to chose from- ranging from aggressive funds (primarily invested in equities with the general aim of capital appreciation) to conservative funds (invested in cash, bank deposits and money market instruments with aim of capital preservation) so that you can decide to invest your money in line with your market outlook, time horizon and your investment preferences and needs.

Life stage based- non life stage based: Life Stage based ULIPs factor in the fact that your priorities differ at different life stages and hence distribute your money across equity and debt. Here the initial allocation is decided as per your age since age is a significant indicator of risk appetite. Such a strategy ensures that the asset allocation at all times is in sync with your age and changing financial needs.

D. ULIPs FOR HEALTH SOLUTIONS: When you are young and working you save for various goals like marriage, education, retirement, etc. but saving for health care is never considered or left for later. During these years we have various sources of income or savings on which we can rely for health emergencies. But with increasing cost of healthcare, proportion of this spend is increasing at an alarming pace. This is forcing families to borrow or sell assets to meet expenses during medical emergencies. And during old age health care expenses increases due to health deterioration because of age and higher incidence of chronic illness. Thus it is important for you to invest in health insurance today so that tomorrow you are fully prepared to meet rising healthcare expenses, which would be incurred during old age, with the right health insurance plan. HEALTH ULIP is a recent innovation from the health insurance industry. In a health ULIP part of your premiums are allocated for investment designed specifically to build a health fund to meet future health related expenses. It aims to create a health savings kitty by investing in a long term flexible saving plan with multiple fund options. The health fund thus created allows you to claim for health related expenses of any kind and also fund your future health insurance charges. You can also avail of tax benefit on premium paid u/s 80D.

ULIPs vs TRADITIONAL COMPARISON

INSURANCE

PLANS-

A

1) Potential for better returns: Under IRDA guidelines, traditional plans have to invest at least 85% in debt instruments which results in low returns. On the other hand, ULIPs invest in market linked instruments with varying debt and equity proportions and if you wish you can even chose 100% equity option. 2) Greater transparency: Unlike ULIPs, in traditional life insurance policy youre not aware of how your money is invested, where it is invested and what is the value of your investment. 3) Flexibility in investment: the top most advantage which ULIPs offer over traditional plans is the flexibility offered to you to customize the product according to your needs: a. Flexibility to invest the money the way you want: Unlike traditional plans, ULIPs allow you full discretion to choose the fund option most appropriate to your risk appetite. b. Flexibility to change the fund allocation: ULIPs also give you the option to change the fund allocation at a later stage through fund switching facility. c. Flexibility to invest more via top- ups: Unlike traditional plans where you have to invest a FIXED premium every year, ULIPs allow you flexibility to invest more than the regular premium via top- ups which are additional investments over and above the regular premium. d. Flexibility to skip premium: In case of traditional plan, you have to pay premium for the entire duration of plan. And if by chance you skip even a single premium, your policy lapses. Whereas ULIPs allow you the flexibility to stop paying premium

usually after three policy years. Your life cover continues by deducting the mortality charges from the existing investment corpus. 4) Flexibility in insurance coverage: a. Option to choose coverage: While in case of traditional insurance plans, the premium is calculated based on sum assured, for ULIP premium payment is the key component based on which you can decide about the insurance coverage. Put simply, on the basis of premium, ULIPs allow to opt for any amount of sum assured within the specified range of minimum and maximum life coverage. b. Option to increase the risk cover: Unlike traditional plans where you have to buy a new policy each time you want to increase your insurance cover anytime. 5) Higher liquidity (better exit options): The possibility to withdraw your money before maturity (through surrender or partial withdrawals) is higher in case of ULIPs as compared to traditional plans and also the exit costs are lower. ULIPs are different and of course better than traditional insurance products; however, while in traditional plans your role is a passive one restricted to just making premium payments, ULIPs require your active involvement. You have to make a lot of decisions such as deciding about sum assured and premium to be paid, choosing between type I or type II ULIP, making a choice among various fund options available and also deciding about fund switching from time to time based on your needs, risk appetite and market outlook.

C. HEALTH INSURANCE: Health insurance policies insure you against several illnesses and guarantee you stay financially secure should you ever require treatment. They safeguard your peace of mind, eliminate all worries about treatment expenses, and allow you to focus your energy on more important things like getting better. Lets learn more about the various types of health insurance available, and the best policy for you might be. Health Insurance policies in India an overview There are several health insurance or medical insurance plans in India. These can be divided into following categories based on the coverage offered: Comprehensive health insurance coverage: These plans provide you complete health coverage through a hospitalization cover while at the same time also creating a health fund to cover any other health care expenses. (health saver) Hospitalization plans: These health insurance plans cover your expenses in case you need to be hospitalized. Within this category, products may have different payout structures and limits for various heads of expenditure. The hospitalization coverage may be reimbursement based plans or fixed benefit plans. These plans aim to cover the more frequent medical expenses. (hospital care II, Medi Assure). Critical illness plans: these health insurance plans provide you coverage against critical illnesses such as heart attack, organ transplants, stroke and kidney failure among others. These plans aim to cover infrequent and higher ticket size medical expenses. (Crisis Cover).

5 REASONS WHY HEALTH INSURANCE IS A MUST:Indians at greater risk Reason 1: lifestyles have changed: Indian today suffer from high levels of stress. Long hours at work, little exercise, disregard for a healthy balanced diet and a consequent dependence on junk food have weakened our immune systems and put us at an increased risk of contracting illnesses. Reason 2: Rare non- communicable diseases are now common: Obesity, high blood pressure, strokes, and heart attacks, which were earlier considered rare, now affect an increasing number of urban Indians. Shocking Truths: y 18% of the urban population suffers from hypertension, which leads to renal failure, stroke and cardio- vascular diseases. y 30% of the population suffers heart attack before age 40 y 66% of deaths today are due to cardio- vascular diseases y Almost 3.5 million Indians suffer from diabetes y Cardio- vascular diseases (CVDs) like heart disease and stroke are the main causes of death and disability. Reason 3: Medical care is unbelievably expensive: Medical breakthroughs have resulted in cures for dreaded diseases. These cures, however, are available only to a select few. High operating expensestherapy for breast cancer costs as much as Rs. 2 lakhs for 3 days- have restricted treatment to the richest. In fact, even among the affluent groups, 20% need to sell their valuable assets so they can accumulate the required amount to meet healthcare costs.

Reason 4: Indirect costs add to financial burden: Indirect sources of expenses- travel, boarding and lodging, and even temporary loss of income- account for as much as 35% of the overall cost of treatment. Most often, we overlook this fact when planning for medical expenses.

Reason 5: Incomplete financial planning: Complete financial planning includes saving for an uncertain future, childrens education, retirement and the most important aspect of life- your health. Health is important as rising medical costs, especially in an emergency, might force you to dip into your savings which you would have assigned for your other goals. Over 40% of all Indians sell assets or dip into existing savings to meet health care costs. This could mean a severe compromise on your long cherished goals. There is certainly a better option: A comprehensive health insurance which take care of all your medical needs.
