A new circular from Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) is going to change the current opaque scenario from April 1. “While unclaimed amount is not uncommon in insurance sector, a steep increase in unclaimed amount is a cause of concern,” the insurance regulator said in the circular that put out the figures of unclaimed insurance proceeds in the public domain for the first time. The unclaimed amount swelled from . 3,037 crore in 2011-12 to . 4,865 crore in 2012-13 — an increase of over 60%. The unclaimed money is the result of insurance proceeds that have failed to reach policyholders or their nominees in time for various reasons Transparency in Procedure From April, a policyholder or nominee will be able to access information about the policy. Irda has asked insurance companies to display details like policyholders’ names and address, maturity proceeds, death benefit and premium due for refund, among other things, unclaimed for over six months, on their websites. Several thousands of crores of unclaimed amount might be lying with insurance companies. There is no reason why insurers should absorb this amount. Now, policyholders or their nominees will be able to access information pertaining to their own policies and claim the amount due to them. Insurers may not allow unfettered access to their database to prevent frauds, but if you have a cover, you can run a check and obtain the details of your policy. Many policyholders often misplace original policy documents, and this could result in them forgetting about a policy. It also could lead to their nominees not having access to the relevant documents when they need them. These problems will be solved once companies start displaying details on their website. Once they get the information, they can go ahead with claiming the due amount . The nominees have to intimate the insurance company about the policyholder’s demise, specifying the reason for the death. Then, the insurer will send across the claim form relevant to the cause of death. The claim processing begins after the nominees furnish the documents asked for in the form. Benefits of Direct Transfer IRDA has also asked insurance companies to transfer proceeds from policies to the registered bank accounts of policyholders and nominees. Even existing policyholders will be given the option of receiving the funds electronically. For new policies, insurers will seek these details at the time of buying the policy. In case of non-life insurance policies, these details will be collected at the time of renewals or claims. This is a very good move. It will curb frauds, where unclaimed cheques are discounted and encashed by others. This is a rampant practice.

However, there is no generic answer to any of them, because for each individual, depending on several factors, the answer could be different. It is like asking a doctor which medicine one should take without actually knowing what the illness is. A right portfolio mix is highly specific to each individual/family and has to be customized and not generalized. Here we will try to look at how one can go about choosing the right portfolio mix. Why should I invest? Often people have a blank look when I ask this question as most people are not clear about the goals for which they should invest. Investing only for returns cannot be a single point agenda because your milestones will decide the amount of investment, the magnitude of risk that you can take and the volatility that you can bear. So the first step is to pen down your goals, why you need to invest and when do you need the money. The basic rule is that you can’t keep your investments in volatile assets when you are nearing your goals. Understand nature of assets Understanding the behavior of an asset class is very crucial in asset allocation. They are broadly classified as follows:   Equity: Investing in equity is like investing in a business venture. It is volatile in the short term but in the long term it generally tends to beat inflation and in effect help us build wealth. However, this asset should be looked at from a long term perspective only, that is five years or more. Investing in this asset systematically makes a whole lot of difference in generating a better risk adjusted return and should be the preferred mode of investing. Debt: These are assets which more or less give an assured return, like fixed deposits (FDs), recurring deposits (RDs) etc. However, not all debt products give a guarantee and depending upon the nature of the asset could be quite volatile as well. Debt is chosen for their stability and liquidity but they tend to generate returns below inflation in most of the cases and so too much exposure in this asset class can actually erode wealth in the long term.   Gold: This seems to always retain its luster in India. However, if this asset is bought as a jewelry it comes with a huge emotional quotient and is generally not traded. Hence investments via the gold ETF route could be more productive. Gold is highly liquid and can help balance the portfolio. So it is important that the proportion should be maintained to a maximum of 5% in ones portfolio. Real Estate: This is a completely non-regulated market and prices move as per the seller’s perspective of his property. It can give good appreciation but is extremely illiquid and the tax implications should be known before one invests in real estate. Liquid Money: This is the money lying in savings account which is to be used for day to day expenses. Although highly liquid, it attracts very low interest rate. Combine assets with milestones This is the most crucial step in the entire exercise and the services of a planner may come in handy in having a financial plan. The most important aspect of financial planning is that assets get linked with goals and money needs to be available readily to fund them once the milestones come close. A mismatch in the same can be harmful to the entire financial planning exercise. For example, a real estate is assigned to a child’s future education but when the goal comes close either the asset may not get a ready buyer or the amount needed falls short of the property value. In such cases there could be a distress sale and the customer might end up paying huge capital gains on the same. A right portfolio mix is indeed crucial for the well being of a financial plan but this has to be a well thought out plan keeping the final goals in mind. Else too much allocation to one asset class might give good returns but might also jeopardize the entire financial planning process.
