COMPARITIVE STUDY OF UNIT LINKED POLICIESANDITS MARKET RESEARCH
AN INTRODUCTION:
3he insurance industry in India is evolving and assuming different
proportions since it was privati$ed. 3here was a time when only traditional insurance
products used to dominate the arena+ ut with innovation coming into play+ unit4
lin-ed<mar-et4lin-ed products have also found a place.
It is worth mentioning here that world over unit4lin-ed products
constitute %uite a sustantial chun- of the total portfolio of insurance companies.

3he emergence of unit4lin-ed insurance policies comines the
characteristics of oth endowment insurance policies and mutual funds. 5ith falling
interest rates %uestioning the economics of traditional products+ most insurers are
launching unit4lin-ed policies.
In the developed mar-et+ products more in common with mutual
funds have overta-en traditional life insurance products. Customers too are loo-ing for
products that give staility of returns in the long run and total protection.

In India+ 1irla #un 'ife+ ICICI Prudential+ )llian$ 1a"a"+ 'IC are
the some life insurance companies dealing in unit4lin-ed insurance products.

HOW THE UNIT LINKED PLAN WORKS?

.nit lin-ed plans comines the protection of life insurance and
enefits of mutual fund .3he main reason for increasing interest towards unit lin-ed plans
is that they allow you to earn more return on your investment in this declining interest
scenario+ and at the same time offer financial protection to your family in unfortunate
event of your death. 3hey also allow you the fle2iility of withdrawing or surrendering
your unit wholly or partially to meet any contingency li-e your children=s education
marriage+ etc.
.nit lin-ed plans come in the form of units where the premium
paid y you is used to uy units and an investment fund is allotted to you. :ost of the
companies offer two or more options to you with regard to the fund. 3he choice of the
fund allows you to determine as to how much premium paid y you should e invested
and in which financial instrument. 3he performance of the fund depends upon the current
value of units in the mar-et.
(or e.g. if current value of unit is Rs 1,<4 and you pay annual
premium of Rs 1,,,,<4+ than the numer of units you uy with this premium is 1,,,
units. If the mar-et is ullish and the value of a unit ecome Rs 13 <4 then you can
surrender the units for a profit.

)ccording to the IR&)+ a company offering unit lin-ed plans must
give the investor an option to choose among det+ alanced and e%uity funds.
If you opt for a unit4lin-ed endowment policy+ you can choose to
invest your premiums in det+ alanced or e%uity funds. If you choose a det fund+ the
ma"ority of your premiums will get invested in det securities li-e gilts and onds.
If you choose e%uity+ then a ma"or portion of your premiums will
e invested in the e%uity mar-et. 3he type of fund you choose would depend on your ris-
profile and your investment need.
In case of death during the premium paying term or the term of the
policy+ the sum assured+ or value of policy fund+ whichever is higher+ is paid to the
eneficiaries.
In case of survival up to maturity+ the value of the fund is paid out.
3herefore+ the ris- here is transferred to the policyholder and nothing is guaranteed. #o+ if
the fund value falls elow the amount invested+ the policyholder will receive a lower
amount.
3a-ing a closer loo- at charges and feesone comes to -nows that+
there is an initial administrative charge deducted every month from units. 3his could e
very high+ around 158 per annum in the first year+ around 78 p a in the second and
around 2438 p a thereafter.
#uppose you uy a policy wherein the annual premium wor-s out
to Rs 1,+,,,+ in the first year+ Rs 1+5,, would e deducted towards administrative
charges+ Rs 7,, in the second year and around Rs 3,, from the third year. 3hese rates
vary from company to company ut are more or less in this range.
BABASAB PATIL PROJECT REPORT ON MARKETING Page 7
COMPARITIVE STUDY OF UNIT LINKED POLICIESANDITS MARKET RESEARCH

3here is an investment management charge too+ which would vary
according to the fund selected> for instance+ an e%uity fund would attract a higher
investment management fee of around 18 p a compared with a det fund that might
attract a fee of ,.258.
#o continuing with the same e2ample+ a sum of Rs 1,, would e
deducted from the annual premium if an e%uity fund is opted for. ?e2t+ companies charge
an annual administration charge. In case of some companies this charge is a flat rate+ say+
Rs 2, per month. In the case of others+ this charge is again a percentage of net assets for
each fund.
(inally+ there is a deduction for ris- cover. 3his goes towards
contriution to the sum assured or the life insurance cover. It is ased on mortality rates
as calculated y actuaries. (or comprehensively summarising our e2ample+ we will
assume the age of the male policyholder to e 3, years and sum assured Rs 1+,,+,,,.
!f a total premium of Rs 1,+,,, paid in the first year+ Rs 1+5,, is
deducted towards initial administration fees+ Rs 1,, towards investment management
fees @assuming the fund opted for is e%uityA and Rs 2/, towards annual administration
fees.
3hat leaves a alance of Rs 9+10, in the first year. !ut of this+ Rs
10* would e deducted towards ris- cover. 7ence+ finally Rs 7+**1 would e invested in
the fund. In the second year+ the figure would stand at Rs 9+7*1 and third year onwards+
around Rs *+1*1 for the term of the policy. #o+ every time you ma-e your premium
payment+ only a part of it is actually invested in the fund of your choice.

.nit4lin-ed plans are a comination of an investment fund and an
insurance policy. ) ma"or part of the premium amount received on such policies is
invested in the stoc- mar-et y the insurer in select funds depending on the ris- level
chosen y the customer. :ind you+ this is after deducting administration charges and

S+i!&)ing b'!+''n F#nds:
3he advantage one gets in case of a unit lin-ed fund is that the wor-ing is similar to a
mutual fund. !ne can ship out of a fund if he feels its performance is not up to the mar-.
Companies allow certain numer of free switches in a year. (or any more switches one
may have to pay.
Ris, E$'m'n!:
!n the face of it investment in unit4lin-ed plans are not entirely safe. )n
element of ris- is definitely in the hands of the individual. )n individual choosing to par-
his funds in e%uities stands to gain or lose depending on the ull run in the stoc- mar-et.
5hen the mar-et is uoyant he stands to gain handsomely ut on the other hand he may
lose heavily when it tan-s out.
.nit4lin-ed insurance plans are all of a sudden much tal-ed aout+
pulici$ed and sold. 5hile these are not a recent phenomenon+ since a numer of
insurance companies already had these products as a part of their portfolio+ of late these
plans have seen sudden fren$y.
It is perhaps the ull phase or the lure of mar-et4lin-ed returns that
insurance companies have een shouting hoarse aout that is responsile for these
products outselling others.

5hile this is not to dissuade from purchasing unit lin-ed covers it would
e once own interest to ta-e a pee- at the Dmar-et lin-ed returns= you can e2pect. )nd if
you thin- that the entire premium you pay is invested in avenues chosen y you to
ma2imi$e returns you could e wrong.

E-.'ns's d#%ing !)' "i%s! /'%:
3he insurance company towards various charges reducing the investale
amount consideraly deducts a sustantial amount from your premium income. In the
first year )llian$ 1a"a" through its .nit Eain #P Plus claims to allocate 1,, percent of the
single premium you invest ut cancels units on a monthly asis towards various charges
from your fund.
)ccordingly Fota- #afe Investment Plan allocates 90 percent and

percent for those aove Rs 5,+,,, towards investments.
Adminis!%!ion '-.'ns's:
3he fund e2pense is the highest in the first year. ICICI Pru 'ife charges
administration e2penses of 2, percent of the premium for amounts elow Rs 5,+,,, and
19 percent for amounts over Rs 5,+,,, in the first year while it is 7 percent for amounts

S+i!&)ing:
?ow what if you plan to switch from one fund to the other. ICICI Pru 'ife
offers only one free switch every year and charges a switching fee of 1 percent for e2tra
switches. In contrast )llian$ 1a"a" offers three switches free with suse%uent switches
charged at the rate of 18 of switch amount or Rs 1,, which ever is higher while with
!: Fota-=s #afe Investment plan you can switch any numer of times at no e2tra cost.
1esides there are fund management charges that varies depending on the
type of fund you choose to par- your funds. !: Fota- charges ,.0 percent if you choose
to invest in money mar-et funds+ on gilt funds it is 1 percent+ on alanced funds it is 1.3
percent and on growth funds it is 1.5 percent.
T%ns&!ion &os!s:

e2ceeding ,.7 percent of the e%uity investment while it is ,.1 percent not e2ceeding ,.2
percent of the det investments. :oreover+ there e2ist underwriting charges on the asis
of the age of the individual.
Fnow that when you uy unit4lin-ed insurance products+ a ma"or part of
the ris- is transferred to you from the insurance company. .nit lin-ed ris- products may
not e a good investment option when ta-en into account the high costs and the ris-
associated with volatile mar-ets.
3hese products will entail regular monitoring since they are mar-et lin-ed
and may perhaps e a good et when the mar-et is at a pea- ut if the mar-et ottoms out
you may lose heavily. #o -now that you are playing with your ris- cover.
