“WHAT IS AVIVA LIFE INSURANCE?”….
Life Insurance policies can be paid in a lump sum or in several installments; the
amount of money you pay to your insurance company is called a premium.
When you buy a Life Insurance policy you provide a measure of financial
security to your beneficiaries (family, loved ones) so that upon death they will be
able to meet financial responsibilities previously covered by your income.
We recommend you to speak to a Licensed Life Insurance agent in your state by
doing a search in our site, so that you can determine how much protection you
need and can afford, as well as what type of Life Insurance policy to choose.
15
These are the most common Life Insurance types:
Term Life Insurance
Permanent / Whole Life Insurance
There are other variations of Life Insurance policies, such as, Universal Life,
Excess Interest Whole Life, Variable Life, Limited-Payment Whole Life and
Single-Premium Whole Life.
We recommend you to speak to a local licensed insurance agent so that you can
learn more about Life Insurance. Please feel free to contact the licensed agents
listed on our site for more.
AVIVA Life Insurance Overview:-
Life insurance is something that not everybody is comfortable talking about, or
even thinking about. When we are young and healthy, we feel immortal. The
unexpected death of a loved one or us is the furthest thing from our minds.
However, the fact of the matter is it is never too early to start thinking about your
family’s protection in the event of tragedy. All life insurance professionals agree
that the sooner you start thinking about life insurance the more options and the
more affordable life insurance can be. There are many logical answers to the
question “Why Buy Life Insurance?...
What to Look For
It’s easy to get a free quote on affordable life insurance for your family. However
a low monthly premium should not be your only consideration when shopping for
16
a life insurance policy. You need to carefully consider what is best for your
family. People often do not realize just how much money is needed to support a
family given the tragic loss of a primary income provider. Besides the monthly
expenses such as rent and mortgage that your spouse may now be left with, have
you considered the cost of a funeral, health benefits which may not be continued
in the event of death of a working spouse, the additional childcare expenses that
may now be required of a single parent? The list goes on and on. In this
discussion of life insurance basics we will help you make an informed and
educated decision on the type and amount of life insurance that is best for your
needs and your budget.
TYPES OF AVIVA LIFE INSURANCE
What is AVIVA Life Insurance? Life insurance at its most basic level is a
contract between you and a life insurance company to pay a sum of money to
your beneficiaries in the event of your death, to cover expenses and make up for
the lack of your income. Life Insurance premiums are based on the type of
insurance you buy, the benefit amount, and your chances of dying based on your
over all health and lifestyle, during the period when the policy is in effect.
There are basically two types of life insurance. You may have heard of them -
Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life insurance. In this discussion we will
17
review in broad terms the difference between the two. You can find more details
on Term Life Insurance and the various types of Permanent Life Insurance at any
time by accessing these links.
Term Life Insurance – As the name implies, Term Life insurance is life
insurance that you purchase for a specific length of time, usually 5, 10 or
20 years. At the end of the term you are given the option of renewing the
policy. Term Life insurance is strictly that, only life insurance that pays a
death benefit, as opposed to Permanent Life insurance policies that accrue
cash value. Term Life pays a lump sum single benefit at the time of death.
Your family can use that money to cover funeral expenses, immediate
bills, and invest in annuities to make up for the loss of salary to pay on-
going monthly expenses. Term Life insurance is the easiest and most
affordable life insurance to obtain. Term Life insurance is great for young
families just starting out.
Permanent Life Insurance – Unlike Term Life insurance, there is no fixed
time limit to Permanent Life insurance, so long as you keep making your
monthly premium payments the contract between you and the life
insurance company remains in effect. The other key difference between
permanent and term life insurance is that a Permanent Life insurance
policy gains “cash value” Part of your monthly premium goes into a tax-
deferred investment account that you do have access to while you are alive.
There are various types of Permanent Life insurance such as Whole Life,
Universal Life and Variable-Universal Life.
18
How Much Do I Need?
That is a very good question, especially since the answer will change over time
depending on your age and life circumstances. You may feel you may not even
need life insurance at all if you are young and single, but with the average cost of
a funeral being $10,000.00 or more, you have reason to consider it. Once you
have people that depend on your income such as a spouse and children, life
insurance is an absolute necessity. Even then your needs will change as your
standard of living changes and your family grows. A young family with an infant
and a small rental apartment will obviously require less life insurance then a
family with a house, a mortgage, and two kids in college. Feel free to use our
benefits calculator to help determine the right amount for your circumstances.
No matter what stage of life you are in here are some basic guidelines and
considerations to determine the amount of life insurance you will need.
Be sure to consider the cost of a funeral. Even if your final wishes do not
include a traditional burial, the cost needs to be factored into your death
benefit. It is advisable to find out a good approximate cost of whatever
final arrangements you chose. Also when considering “final costs” that
may be incurred by your beneficiaries be sure to consider all federal and
state taxes that may be due immediately upon your death. These usually
amount to 10% of the total value of your Estate.
The next thing to consider is the effect of your loss of income on your
family. You need to project how long you think your family will need to
“make up” for your lost income. Will your spouse work? Remarry in a
short amount of time? You need to discuss such matters. Consider all of
your debt and your monthly expenses determine the amount of money that
your family needs yearly to make up for your lost income, and multiply
that by the amount of years you think they will need it and you will have
arrived at your minimum required amount of Life Insurance. So if you
19
think they will need $50,000.00 a year for 10 years, you will need at least a
$ 500,000.00 policy.
Finally consider the amount of debt that you family will be faced with
upon your death, you may want them to have enough to pay that off in a
lump sum, rather then making that part of their monthly expenses
determined in (2) above.
Once you have done your best to determine your needs, it is advisable to discuss
benefit amounts with one of our qualified life insurance agents, who will help
ensure you get the right amount of coverage that is best for you.
Unit Linked Insurance plans
Unit linked Insurance plans (ULIP) is life insurance solution that provides for
the benefits of protection and flexibility in investment. The investment is
denoted as units and is represented by the value that it has
attained called as Net Asset Value (NAV). The policy value
at any time varies according to the value of the underlying
assets at the time. ULIP provides multiple benefits to the
consumer.
The benefits include:
Life protection
Investment Options
Transparency
Adjustable Life Cover
Flexibility
Liquidity
Tax planning
Investment and Savings
Options to take additional cover against- Death due to accident,
Disability, Critical Illness, Surgeries etc.
20
In a ULIP, the insurer deducts charges towards life insurance (mortality charges),
administration charges and fund management charges. The rest of the premium is
used to invest in a fund that invests money in stocks or bonds. The policyholder’s
share in the fund is represented by the number of units. The value of the unit is
determined by the total value of all the investments made by the fund divided by
the number of units. If the insurance company offers a range of funds, the insured
can direct the company to invest in the fund of his choice. Insurers usually offer
four choices:
Bond fund, Secured Fund, Balanced Fund, Growth Fund
So, in ULIPS is that the investor knows exactly what is happening to his money
and two, it allows the investor to choose the assets into which he wants his funds
invested.
Unit plans are investment plans for those who realise the worth of hard-earned
money. These plans help you see your savings yield rich benefits and help you
save tax even if you don't have consistent income.
Unit-linked insurance plans, ULIPs, are distinct from the more familiar ‘with
profits’ policies sold for decades by the Life Insurance Corporation. ‘With
profits’ policies are called so because investment gains (profits) are distributed
to policyholders in the form of a bonus announced every year.
ULIPs also serve the same function of providing insurance protection against
death and provision of long-term savings, but they are structured differently. In
‘with profits’ policies, the insurance company credits the premium to a common
pool called the ‘life fund’, after setting aside funds for the risk premium on life
insurance management expenses.
21
Every year, the insurer calculates how much has to be paid to settle death and
maturity claims. The surplus in the life fund left after meeting these liabilities is
credited to policyholders’ accounts in the form of a bonus.
In a ULIP too, the insurer deducts charges towards life insurance (mortality
charges), administration charges and fund management charges. The rest of the
premium is used to invest in a fund that invests money in stocks or bonds. The
policyholder’s share in the fund is represented by the number of units.
The value of the unit is determined by the total value of all the investments made
by the fund divided by the number of units. If the insurance company offers a
range of funds, the insured can direct the company to invest in the fund of his
choice.
Insurers usually offer three choices- an equity (growth) fund, balanced fund and a
fund which invests in bonds. In both ‘with profits’ policies as well as unit-linked
policies, a large part of the first year premium goes towards paying the agents’
commissions.
Why do insurers prefer ULIPs?
Insurers love ULIPs for several reasons. Most important of all, insurers can sell
these policies with less capital of their own than what would be required
if they sold traditional policies.
In traditional ‘with profits’ policies, the insurance company bears the investment
risk to the extent of the assured amount. In ULIPs, the policyholder bears
most of the investment risk.
22
Since ULIPs are devised to mobilise savings, they give insurance companies an
opportunity to get a large chunk of the asset management business, which has
been traditionally dominated by mutual funds.

“RESEARCH METHODOL
65
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY;-
Research is a careful investigation or enquiry especially a search for new facts in
any branch of knowledge and a systematized effort to gain new knowledge.
Marketing research is the systematic and objective identification, collection,
analysis dissemination and use of information for the purpose of improving
decision making related to the identification and solution of problems and
opportunities in marketing. We define or identify the marketing research problem
or opportunity and then determine what information is needed to investigate it.

70
LIMITATIONS
i) Sample size is small and may not be representative of the universe of
study i.e. DELHI and Udhampur city.
ii) Some times no exact data is found as customers doesn’t
provide exact information.
iii) Efforts for the marketing of company products are less and
hence there is less awareness and usage of most of the
“AVIVA” policies.
iv) Some question carry multiple response and percentage have not been
computed for them.
v) The analysis is based entirely on responses of individuals and may vary
with future changing trends.
vi) Time constraint.
vii) As the data is collected in the month of dec to feb, the result could not
be considered consistent for the whole year.
viii) I faced problem of avoidance towards giving information. The
customer thinks it to be Useless and wastage of time.
In spite of the above limitations an effort has been made to make the analysis
possible and reliable after cross examination of the data supplied by the concern
branch of the company.

CONCLUSION
Working with AVIVA Life Insurance for two months was a very nice and a good
learning experience. It has helped me a lot learning about different kinds of
79
investments and the pros-corns of its. It has also helped me to know about how
works in a corporate world is done.
Though we had a very nice experience but we had to face some
problems even, like we were not given any identity card by the company so
sometime it became very difficult for us to convince people that we are from the
company and not an agent. Mostly small investors are not satisfied with the
charges of the AVIVA ULIP.
1. Customers are much more relying upon AVIVAULIP’S Plans.
2. People don‘t rely upon private insurance sector.
3. All products are not attractive to the customers so that kind of products are
very hard to sale.
4. Less number of traditional plans that’s why people who really need
traditional plans are still not satisfied.
5. Majority of the customers are satisfied with the beneficial schemes the
company.
6. Majority of the customers are satisfied with the service of the company.
Suggestions and Recommendations ;-
Following are a few suggestions;
like the company should carry out market research on a regular basis. This will
facilitate indication of customer groups, analysis of the customer needs and
requirements. It will be helped in engendering valuable feed back to the
officers to assess the level of customer satisfaction, which in turn could be used
in upgrading the service levels;
It is recommended to the concern that it should try to differentiate their
policies and establish exclusive brand names for them.
Company should use more modern information devices to inform the

80
environment with the private banks.
