Tata AIA Life iRaksha Supreme

Objective

This is an online pure term policy that aims to provide financial assistance to the family members in case something happened to bread winner of the family.

What does it do?

The policy pays sum assured to nominees on unfortunate demise of the insured person. It does not pay any maturity benefit on survival. Single and limited pay policyholders are allowed to surrender the policy in case of need. Surrender value will be calculated as per the predefined formula.
The policy has another useful feature that covers insured even if he stops paying premiums after completing 3 years (for 5 year Limited Pay policy) and 7 years (for 10 year Limited Pay policy). The nominee will receive a reduced sum assured in case something happened to the insured with such a policy.

Pros


The policy offers discounts on opting a high sum assured.
Women and non-smokers enjoy lower premium rates.
One can surrender the policy in case of an emergency.
Premium paid towards the policy qualify for tax benefits.

Cons

Policies paying premium regularly cannot be surrendered.

Suited for

This policy can be taken by anyone with access to internet and looking for minimum coverage of Rs 50 lakh.

Our View

An online term plan is the best kind of life insurance. This is a decent policy. We recommend regular premium payment over single or limited pay options. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company.

 LT Tax Advantage Fund

 

 

The fund's investment approach is bottom up and is not hamstrung by any market cap or sectoral bias and is single-mindedly focused to tap best opportunities that the market presents.


The scheme intends to be diversified across sectors and could also hold more than 80 stocks at any given point. The holdings in individual stocks generally do not exceed 4 per cent. Currently it holds 54 stocks and its average equity allocation is 94 per cent, with large cap exposure being 70 per cent.

 

Performance


The fund slightly underperformed to begin with but caught up by next year as it curtailed its losses better than peers in the market downturn of 2008. The next three years too were a breeze but all this came to a grinding halt in 2012 when it lagged behind peers by 4 per cent which can be attributed to the overall change in the fund management as L&T MF acquired all Fidelity funds.


The fund's long term returns present a mixed picture as its annualised 4-year return of 8.37 per cent is quite better than the category average of 4.96 per cent but its 3-year return of -1.64 per cent is only marginally above the category average of -2.91 per cent.


Its highest single stock allocation has been to large caps like ICICI Bank, ITC, Infosys and Reliance which has been around 6 per cent.


Its sectoral allocation is more or less in line with the category average with only few differences.

 

Why invest?
The fund has done well irrespective of market cycles though it has had its short bouts of underperformances. Also, it has managed to scrape through with only a marginal underperformance during the fund management transition.
