HOW HIGHEST NAV GURANTEE PLAN WORK


HOW HIGEST NAV GUARANTEED PLANS WORK (Theoretically)
This product is a sub type of ULIP plans,
Normally in these Products highest of below 3 is paid out.

1)  Highest NAV in 7 years, 2) 1.5 Times your initial investment (This requires 7- 10 Year Lock in)
3) The NAV of the fund as of the end date.  Looks very enticing isn’t it?

But now the working of the plan is explained below,
The Fund manager of these plans employs various strategies for this ASSURED Service the technical name for the strategy is Dynamic Hedging. In this strategy the Fund manager will keep shifting the funds between Equity & Debt in order to keep the NAV of the fund to manageable levels,

 So initially fund Manager will invest aggressively in Equity portion let us say 100% so now

You can see a Dummy scenario Below, Note the change of Equity & Debt Proportion changing over the years. So the Fund manager will make sure that your NAV does not grow beyond a point by allocation of Funds accordingly.

You will notice that the Manager will shift the Funds more towards debt as soon as The Equity Portion yield good result in order to ensure Highest NAV can be paid out.

So effectively you are investing in Fixed Deposit while paying higher Charges (FMC, Allcation Chrg. Etc) & Higher Risk (Equity Exposure) & also taking along unnecessary Life cover. I do not know why anyone should pick this product at all except the Agent who gets the commission.
