How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
  • The policyholder decides on the amount of premium he wants to pay, the policy term, the premium paying term and the premium paying frequency.
  • The Sum Assured is based on the amount of premium paid and is fixed at 10 times the annual premium.
  • The premium paid, net of the applicable allocation charge is invested in the Guarantee Builder Portfolio Strategy. Under this investment strategy, the net premiums are first invested by the company in two funds of Balanced Equity Fund and Builder Bond Fund in a predefined ratio. The investment in the Balanced Equity Fund is higher in the initial years. As the plan nears maturity, the proportion of money invested in the Balanced Equity Fund is reduced and the Builder Bond Fund is proportionately increased.
  • The fund is also rebalanced every policy anniversary to maintain the minimum required percentage in the Builder Bond Fund.
  • This strategy protects the returns from market volatility as the plan approaches maturity.
  • If the policyholder wants, he can change the premium paying term subject to certain terms and conditions.
  • If the policyholder dies during the tenure of the plan the death benefit is paid.
  • If the plan attains maturity, the maturity benefit is paid.
