31 What is insurance?
Insurance is a back bone of a countrys risk management system. Risk is an inherent part of our lives. The insurance providers offer a variety of products to business and individuals in order to provide protection from risk and to insure financial security. They are also an important component in the financial intermediation chain for infrastructure and a long term projects. Through there participation in financial markets, they also provide support in stabilizing the markets evening out any fluctuations.

Life insurance companies which sells life insurance, annuities and

pension products

Non life or General insurance companies, which sell other type of

insurance. Insurance in its basic form is defined as A contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a fixed amount of money on the happening of a certain event."

In the most countries, life and non life insurers are subject to different regulatory regimes and different tax and accounting rules. The main reason for the distinction between the two types of company is that life, annuity and pension business is very long term in nature coverage for life insurance or a pension can cover risk over many decades. By contrast, non-life insurance usually covers a shorter period, such as one year.

32
In simple terms it is a contract between the person who buys Insurance and an Insurance company who sold the Policy. By entering into contract the Insurance Company agrees to pay the Policy holder or his family members a predetermined sum of money in case of any unfortunate event for a predetermined fixed sum payable which is in normal term called Insurance Premiums.

Insurance is basically a protection against a financial loss which can arise on the happening of an unexpected event. Insurance companies collect premiums to provide for this protection. By paying a very small sum of money a person can safeguard himself and his family financially from an unfortunate event.

There are different kinds of Insurance Products available such as Life Insurance, Vehicle Insurance, Home Insurance, Travel Insurance, Health or Medical Insurance etc. For Example if a person buys a Life Insurance Policy by paying a premium to the Insurance company, the family members of insured person receive a fixed

compensation in case of any unfortunate event like death

Brief History of Insurance


The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is

33
largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era past few centuries yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years. Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and Indian natives were not being insured by these companies. However, later with the efforts of eminent people like Babe Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance companies. The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindra nath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were some of the companies established during the same period. Prior to 1912 India had no legislation to regulate insurance business. In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the Provident Fund Act were passed. The Life

34
Insurance Companies Act, 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indian Companies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a disadvantage.

The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business. From 44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 corer, it rose to 176 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.298 corer in 1938. During the mushrooming of insurance companies many financially unsound concerns were also floated which failed miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislation governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict state control over insurance business. The demand for nationalization of life insurance industry was made repeatedly in the past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a bill to amend the Life Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly. However, it was much later on the 19th of January, 1956, that life insurance in India was nationalized. About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-Indian companies and 75 provident were operating in India at the time of nationalization. Nationalization was accomplished in two stages; initially the management of the companies was taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later, the ownership too by means of a comprehensive bill. The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September, 1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial cover at a reasonable cost.

35
LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices, apart from its corporate office in the year 1956. Since life insurance contracts are long term contracts and during the currency of the policy it requires a variety of services need was felt in the later years to expand the operations and place a branch office at each district headquarter. Re-organization of LIC took place and large numbers of new branch offices were opened. As a result of re-organization servicing functions were transferred to the branches, and branches were made accounting units. It worked wonders with the performance of the corporation. It may be seen that from about 200.00 cores of New Business in 1957 the corporation crossed 1000.00 cores only in the year 1969-70, and it took another 10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 corer mark of new business. But with re-organization happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already crossed 7000.00 corers Sum assured on new policies. Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 100 divisional offices, 7 zonal offices and the corporate office. LICs Wide Area Network covers 100 divisional offices and connects all the branches through a Metro Area Network. LIC has tied up with some Banks and Service providers to offer on-line premium collection facility in selected cities. LICs ECS and ATM premium payment facility is an addition to customer convenience. Apart from on-line Kiosks and IVRS, Info Centers have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pane and many other cities. With a vision of providing easy access to its policyholders, LIC has launched its SATELLITE SAMPARK offices. The satellite offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer. The digitalized records of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing and many other conveniences in the future.

36
LIC continues to be the dominant life insurer even in the liberalized scenario of Indian insurance and is moving fast on a new growth trajectory surpassing its own past records. LIC has issued over one corer policies during the current year. It has crossed the milestone of issuing 1,01,32,955 new policies by 15th Oct, 2005, posting a healthy growth rate of 16.67% over the corresponding period of the previous year. From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set unprecedented performance records in various aspects of life insurance business. The same motives which inspired our forefathers to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire us at LIC to take this message of protection to light the lamps of security in as many homes as possible and to help the people in providing security to their families. Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:

1818: Oriental Life Insurance Company, the first life insurance company on
Indian soil started functioning.

1870: Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian life insurance
company started its business.

1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to
regulate the life insurance business.

1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to
collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

37
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with
the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies are taken over by
the central government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 corer from the Government of India. The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:

1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact
all classes of general insurance business.

1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India,


frames a code of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum
solvency margins and the Tariff Advisory Committee set up.

1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized


the general insurance business in India with effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companys viz. the National Insurance Company Ltd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the

38
Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.

WHY INSURNACE IN INDIA


We live in the information age. People are becoming more aware of the importance of insurance in their life. However, there is a paradox in the form of a growing need to educate people to buy insurance. Today, natural disasters on a large scale occur regularly and even terrorism is increasing day by day. Specialized software is used in actuarial science to accurately predict life expectancy and mortality. But natural disasters are difficult to predict. This has highlighted to the world that insurance is a basic and fundamental need for the safety and security of the family. Only a larger insurance cover can guarantee a better future. However insurance claims for natural disasters are very low. This is because insurance coverage was too low, and those who really needed insurance had not taken it. There is the need to push insurance as a social responsibility for those who really need it.

ABOUT INSURANCE REGULATORY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY


The government of India opened the insurance sector to the private players on October 24, 2000, thus unraveling a new chapter in this field. This new policy of GOI is an outcome of Indias policy of liberalization and also the result of its

39
obligation to the WTO to confirm to its principles and guidelines relating to the reduction of barriers to trade in services. The insurance returns committee under chairmanship of R.N. Malhotra in its April, 1993 report suggested reforms in the insurance sector including improvements in the functioning of LIC, GIC, liberalizing and developing a strengthening the regulatory system. The committee submitted its report o 07.01.1994 to Union Finance Minister. The bill was passed regarding this in 1998. Finally Regulatory and Development authority (IRDA) gained statutory in April 2000.

LIBERALIZTION OF INSURANCE SECTOR

ULIPs: An Introduction

45

Most importantly, what are ULIPs? Here, we will find all the information you need to set your mind

Unit Linked Fund is a pool of the premiums paid by the policyholder ULIPs are a category of goal-based financial solutions that combine the safety of insurance protection with wealth creation opportunities. In ULIPs, a part of the investment goes towards providing you life cover. The residual portion of the ULIP is invested in a fund which in turn invests in stocks or bonds; the value of investments alters with the performance errs which is invested in a portfolio of assets to achieve the fund(s) objective. The price of each unit in a fund depends on

46
how the investments in the fund would perform. The fund is managed by the insurance companies. A Unit stands for a portion or a part of the underlying segregated unit linked Fund. Investment returns from ULIP may not be guaranteed. In unit linked products/policies, the investment risk in investment portfolio is borne by the policy holder. Depending upon the performance of the unit linked fund(s) chosen; the policy holder may achieve gains or losses on his/her investments. It should also be noted that the past returns of a fund are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the fund.

Working of ULIPs
It is critical that you understand how your money gets invested once you purchase a ULIP: When you decide the amount of premium to be paid and the amount of life cover you want from the ULIP, the insurer deducts some portion of the ULIP premium upfront. This portion is known as the Premium Allocation charge, and varies from product to product. The rest of the premium is invested in the fund or mixture of funds chosen by you. Mortality charges and ULIP administration charges are thereafter deducted on a periodic (mostly monthly) basis by cancellation of units, whereas the ULIP fund management charges are adjusted from NAV on a daily basis. Since the fund of your choice has an underlying investment either in equity or debt or a combination of the two your fund value will reflect the performance of the underlying asset classes. At the time of maturity of your plan, you are entitled to receive the fund value as at the time of maturity. The pie-chart below illustrates the split of your ULIP premium:

47

Types of ULIPs
One of the big advantages that a ULIP offers is that whatever be your specific financial objective, chances are that there is a ULIP which is just right for you. The figure below gives a general guide to the different goals that people have at various age-groups and thus, various life-stages.

48

Depending on your specific life-stage and the corresponding goal, there is a ULIP which can help you plan for it. Let us take an example of Gaurav & Hari. Both of them want to retire at the age of 60. Gaurav starts investing Rs. 10,000 every year from the age of 25 till the time that he retires. In all, he would have invested Rs. 350,000. If his investments were to earn 7% return every year, at the time of his retirement, Gaurav will have a retirement corpus of Rs. 13, 82,368.

49
Now, Hari starts investing 10 years later (i.e. at the age of 35) and in order to make up for the lost time, invests Rs.15, 000 every year (which is 50% more than Guairs annual investment). So, by the time of his retirement, he would have invested Rs. 3, 75,000. And assuming the same annual return of 7%, he will end up with a retirement corpus of Rs 9, 48,735.

50
ULIPs are the right insurance solutions for you if you are looking for a strong wealth creation proposition allied to a core insurance benefit. Such plans are ideal for people who are in their late 20s and early 30s and by investing in such a plan get the flexibility of using it to fund any of their long-term financial goals such as purchase of a house or funding their childrens education. The added element of life cover serves to make these plans a wholesome financial investment option. Wealth Creation ULIPs can be primarily classified as :

Single premium - Regular premium plan :


Depending upon you needs & premium paying capacity you can either opt for a single premium plan where you need to pay premium only once during the term of entire policy or regular premium plans where you can premium at a frequency chosen by you depending upon your convenience

Guarantee plans None guarantee plans:


Today there is wealth creation ULIPS which also offer guaranteed benefit. These plans are ideal insurance-cum-investment option for customers who want to enjoy the potentially higher returns (over the long term) of a market linked instrument, but without taking any market risk. On the other hand non guarantee plans comes with an in - built range of fund options to choose from ranging from aggressive funds (Primarily invested in equities with the general aim of capital appreciation) to conservative funds (invested in cash, bank deposits and money market instruments with aim of capital preservation) so that you can decide to invest your money in line with your market outlook, time horizon and your investment preferences and needs.

51

Life Stage based Non life Stage based


Life Stage based ULIPs factor in the fact that your priorities differ at different life stages & hence distribute your money across equity & debt. Here the initial allocation is decided as per your age since age is a significant indicator of risk appetite. Such a strategy ensures that the asset allocation at all times is in sync with your age and changing financial needs.

ULIPs for children education plan:


One of the most important responsibilities you have as a parent is to ensure that your child gets the best possible education that can be provided. Apart from conventional schooling, it becomes important to expose your child to different activities such as dance, painting and sports training for holistic development. As a parent, you want to ensure that their development is not hampered either due to rising costs or unforeseen circumstances. Today there are ULIPs that offer money at key milestones of your child's education thus ensuring that your childs education continues unhampered even if something unfortunate happens to you. While, the death of a parent is an irreparable emotional loss, child education plans against the financial

ramifications of the death of a parent. Apart from above mentioned benefit, child plans also offers below mentioned features.

52
Flexibility of adding on various riders like Income benefit rider, disability rider etc to get additional benefits .For e.g. In case of income benefit rider, In the event of the death of the parent, the child will receive a regular pre-determined amount every year to meet the educational expenses. In case of unfortunate incidence of the death of a parent, not only will the child receive the sum assured immediately but will also continue to receive money at the key educational milestones.

ULIPs for health Education:


When you are young and working you save for various goals like marriage, education, retirement etc. but saving for health care is never considered or left for later. During these years we have various sources of income or savings on which we can rely for health emergencies. But with increasing cost of healthcare, proportion of this spend is increasing at an alarming pace. This is forcing families to borrow or sell assets to meet expenses during medical emergencies. And during old age health care expenses increase due to health deterioration because of age and higher incidence of chronic illness. Thus it is important for you to invest in health insurance today so that tomorrow you are fully prepared to meet rising healthcare expenses, which would be incurred during old age, with the right health insurance plan. Health ULIP is a recent innovation from the health insurance industry. In a health ULIP part of your premiums are allocated for investment designed specifically to build a health fund to meet future health related expenses. It aims to create a health savings kitty by investing in a long term flexible savings plan with multiple

53
fund options. The health fund thus created allows you to claim for health related expenses of any kind and also fund your future health insurance charges. You can also avail of tax benefit on premium paid u/s 80D.

When ULIP work best?


Whether you are in the process of deciding which ULIP to invest in; or whether you already have a unit linked insurance policy to secure your important financial goals there are some key principles which should govern any decision related to ULIPs. Adhering to these key principles will allow you to make optimum utilization of your ULIP.

CHARGE STRUCTURE
Unit-Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) are designed to meet two of your most important financial needs: protection and investment. Both these benefits have some charges attached to them; important charges to know about before purchasing a ULIP are: 1. Premium Allocation charge 2. Policy Administration charge 3. Mortality charge 4. Fund Management charge

Premium Allocation Charge:

54
A percentage of the premium is appropriated towards charges initial and renewal expenses apart from commission expenses before allocating the units under the policy.

Mortalitys:
These are charges for the cost of insurance coverage and depend on number of factors such as age, amount of coverage, state of health etc.

Fund Management Fees:


Fees levied for management of the fund and are deducted before arriving at the NAV.

Administration Charges:
This is the charge for administration of the plan and is levied by cancellation of units.

Surrender Charges:
Deducted for premature partial or full encashment of units.

Fund Switching Charge:


Usually a limited number of fund switches are allowed each year without charge,

with

subsequent

switches,

subject

to

charge

Service Tax Deductions:

55
Service tax is deducted from the risk portion of the premium. The important thing to note about ULIPs is that the overall charge structure in the long term comes down substantially, thus allowing greater allocation of premium to your chosen fund, thereby leading to wealth creation. It may be noted that insurers have the right to revise the fees and charges over a period of time.

56

MUTUAL FUND CONCEPT:

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:

58

History of Mutual Fund

59
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank of India. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases.

First Phase 1964-87


Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 cores of assets under management.

Second Phase 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)


1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by Can bank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990.

60
At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47, 004 cores.

Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)


With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual funds, except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993. The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with Total assets of Rs. 1, 21,805 corers. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44, 541 corers of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds

Fourth Phase since February 2003


In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29, 835 corers as at the end of January 2003, representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured

61
return and certain other schemes. The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations The second is the UTI Mutual Fund, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76, 000 corers of assets under management and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers taking place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current phase of consolidation and growth The graph indicates the growth of assets over the years

Note:
Erstwhile UTI was bifurcated into UTI Mutual Fund and the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India effective from February 2003. The Assets under management of the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India has therefore been excluded from the total assets of the industry as a whole from February 2003 onwards.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:


The advantages of investing in a Mutual Fund are: 1. Professional Management 2. Diversification 3. Convenient Administration

62
4. Return Potential 5. Low Costs 6. Liquidity 7. Transparency 8. Flexibility 9. Choice of schemes 10. Tax benefits 11. Well regulated

INVESTMENT BEHAVIOUR ULIP vs. MUTUL FUND Investment behavior


Investment behavior is make by to words investment + behavior Investment means invest the money in other origination & other plants which maximize your wealth in future.Behavior means why we didnt invest our money ten what is your objective it shows our behavior. Investment behavior means purpose of money when we investment then what are our objective & which investment plants we have it full fill our long term means our short term needs. It shows investment behavior is depending always our needs. . Target patients made more advantageous decisions and ultimately earned more money from their investments than the normal participants and control patients. When normal participants and control patients either won or lost money on an investment round, they adopted a conservative strategy and became more reluctant to invest on the subsequent round; these results suggest that they were more affected than target patients by the outcomes of decisions made in the previousrounds.Unit Linked Insurance Policies (ULIPs) as an investment avenue are closest to mutual funds in terms of their structure and functioning. As is the

case with mutual funds, investors in ULIPs are allotted units by the insurance company and a net asset value (NAV) is declared for the same on a daily basis. Similarly ULIP investors have the option of investing across various schemes similar to the ones found in the mutual funds domain, i.e. diversified equity funds, balanced funds and debt funds to name a few. Generally speaking, ULIPs can be termed as mutual fund schemes with an insurance component.However it should not be construed that barring the insurance element there is nothing dif1. 1. Mode of investment/ investment amounts

Mutual fund investors have the option of either making lump sum investments or investing using the systematic investment plan (SIP) route which entails commitments over longer time horizons. The minimum investment amounts are laid out by the fund house. ULIP investors also have the choice of investing in a lump sum (single premium) or using the conventional route, i.e. making premium payments on an annual, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly basis. In ULIPs, determining the premium paid is often the starting point for the investment activity. This is in stark contrast to conventional insurance plans where the sum assured is the starting point and premiums to be paid are determined thereafter. ULIP investors also have the flexibility to alter the premium amounts during the policy's tenure. For example an individual with access to surplus funds can enhance the contribution thereby ensuring that his surplus funds are gainfully invested; conversely an individual faced with a liquidity crunch has the option of

75
paying a lower amount (the difference being adjusted in the accumulated value of his ULIP). The freedom to modify premium payments at one's convenience clearly gives ULIP investors an edge over their mutual fund counterparts.

2. Expenses
In mutual fund investments, expenses charged for various activities like fund management, sales and marketing, administration among others are subject to pre-determined upper limits as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. For example equity-oriented funds can charge their investors a maximum of 2.5% per annum on a recurring basis for all their expenses; any expense above the prescribed limit is borne by the fund house and not the investors. Similarly funds also charge their investors entry and exit loads (in most cases, either is applicable). Entry loads are charged at the timing of making an investment while the exit load is charged at the time of sale. Insurance companies have a free hand in levying expenses on their ULIP products with no upper limits being prescribed by the regulator, i.e. the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority. This explains the complex and at times 'unwieldy' expense structures on ULIP offerings. The only restraint placed is that insurers are required to notify the regulator of all the expenses that will be charged on their ULIP offerings.

76
Expenses can have far-reaching consequences on investors since higher expenses translate into lower amounts being invested and a smaller corpus being accumulated. ULIP-related expenses have been dealt with in detail in the article "Understanding ULIP expenses".

3. Portfolio disclosure

Mutual fund houses are required to statutorily declare their portfolios on a quarterly basis, albeit most fund houses do so on a monthly basis. Investors get the opportunity to see where their monies are being invested and how they have been managed by studying the portfolio. There is lack of consensus on whether ULIPs are required to disclose their portfolios. During our interactions with leading insurers we came across divergent views on this issue. While one school of thought believes that disclosing portfolios on a quarterly basis is mandatory, the other believes that there is no legal obligation to do so and that insurers are required to disclose their portfolios only on demand. Some insurance companies do declare their portfolios on a monthly/quarterly basis. However the lack of transparency in ULIP investments could be a cause for concern considering that the amount invested in insurance policies is essentially meant to provide for contingencies and for long-term needs like retirement; regular portfolio disclosures on the other hand can enable investors to make timely investment decisions.

Section 80C benefits are available only on are available on all Tax benefits ULIP investments investments in taxsaving funds

4. Flexibility in altering the asset allocation


As was stated earlier, offerings in both the mutual funds segment and ULIPs segment are largely comparable. For example plans that invest their entire corpus in equities (diversified equity funds), a 60:40 allotment in equity and debt

78
instruments (balanced funds) and those investing only in debt instruments (debt funds) can be found in both ULIPs and mutual funds. If a mutual fund investor in a diversified equity fund wishes to shift his corpus into a debt from the same fund house, he could have to bear an exit load and/or entry load. On the other hand most insurance companies permit their ULIP inventors to shift investments across various plans/asset classes either at a nominal or no cost (usually, a couple of switches are allowed free of charge every year and a cost has to be borne for additional switches). Effectively the ULIP investor is given the option to invest across asset classes as per his convenience in a cost-effective manner. This can prove to be very useful for investors, for example in a bull market when the ULIP investor's equity component has appreciated, he can book profits by simply transferring the requisite amount to a debt-oriented plan.

5. Tax benefits
ULIP investments qualify for deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. This holds good, irrespective of the nature of the plan chosen by the investor. On the other hand in the mutual funds domain, only investments in taxsaving funds (also referred to as equity-linked savings schemes) are eligible for Section 80C benefits. Maturity proceeds from ULIPs are tax free. In case of equity-oriented funds (for example diversified equity funds, balanced funds), if the investments are held for

79
a period over 12 months, the gains are tax free; conversely investments sold within a 12-month period attract short-term capital gains tax @ 10%. Similarly, debt-oriented funds attract a long-term capital gains tax @ 10%, while a short-term capital gain is taxed at the investor's marginal tax rate. Despite the seemingly similar structures evidently both mutual funds and ULIPs have their unique set of advantages to offer. As always, it is vital for investors to be aware of the nuances in both offerings and make informed decisions ferentiating mutual funds from ULIPs Some information about investment by this we know & behavior

CONCLUSION
On the basis on survey conducted by me on 100 customers. I can conclude that Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance has largest market share. But it also has some loop holes like customer not fully aware of new insurance product and unsatisfactory operation of company. Company is well known and recognized even though it should pay some more attention on the improving quality and promotion of its services. People are very well aware about the insurance and the benefit they derived form policies. The interpretation derived from the questionnaire depicts that there is still back of awareness about company and its product. Though the people who are aware about Kotak Mahindra Life they have some problem related to the trust especially middle class income group. The company faces stiff competition from LIC and ICICI Pru. and also Bajaj Allianz slowly increases its market share. So company should be started some general awareness program.

The purpose of our study has been to compare five alternative theories of investment behavior. Including capital gain on assets excluding capital gain accelerator based on output capacity utilization. Expected profit, based on market value of firm and or internal firm. Our results are free of basis that

96
could result from misspecification of the lag structure from inappropriate assumptions about the homogeneity of investment behavior across firm. This work is to contribute to the understanding of decision , style and performance in relation to exit processes for European buyout investment .many part of analysis highlighted the dynamic nature of the buyout segment and arjued and maturation , and gloing competition, and on pressure

return.with invester buyout fund becoming more and more sophisticad and demeaning as for as the performance. The propose our study has been to compare five alternative theory of investment behavior. include capital gain on assets excluding capital gain

97

RECOMMENDATIONS
The company should attract the market more vigorously and should appoint more agents] Company has minimum premium amount Rs. 12000/- for Unit Linked Plan and for conventional plan amount is Rs. 5000/- which is high for middle and lower middle class people. So it should be reduce to adapt more customer.

Company had not any one time premium policy while most of interest in one time premium policy.

Company should give the emphasis on more facilities to the customers in comparison to the competitors in providing after after sales sevices.

Company should provide financial schemes for the customer. Company make installment payment simple by internet money transfer. More advertisements should be done to make customers aware of insurance and various product of the company.

Group should concentrate more on rural area. Status of the policies should be delivered to the policy holder on time. They should adopt aggressive marketing strategy
