How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
    • The policyholder decides on the amount of annual premium he wants to pay, the premium payment term and mode and the investment strategy.
    • If the policyholder wants to invest as per his strategy, there are five available funds for investment which are as follows:
      • Large Cap Equity Fund
      • Whole Life Mid Cap Equity Fund
      • Whole Life Aggressive Growth Fund
      • Whole Life Stable Growth Fund
      • Whole Life Income Fund
      • Whole Life Short-Term Fixed Income Fund
    • The premium paid, net of the applicable allocation charge is invested based on the policyholder’s investment strategy.
    • Under the enhanced Systematic Money Allocation and Regular Transfer (SMART) strategy, the policyholder chooses between a debt fund and an equity fund. The net premium is first parked in the chosen debt fund. From there, the money is systematically transferred to the selected equity fund. This strategy protects the entire investment from market volatility as the entire investment is not subject to equity exposure. This feature is available for single pay and annual pay plans.
    • 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.
