7 Facts you may not know about Nomination in different investments

7 Facts you may not know about Nomination in different investments

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Investments

Listen to this article


As an investor, you spend most of your precious time in deciding on your investments, their tenure, and the returns that your invested money will fetch practically. Do you know who gets your investment money when you are “no more”?

I am sure most of you must have come across the ‘nominations’ column, while filling any of your financial application form, be it that for a Mutual Fund, or a Demat Account, or simply a Bank Account. More often, people have a tendency to leave the nomination field blank, or fill the same uncertainly, without even understanding the big importance of this little detail.

Here, let us try to put forth the significance of a nomination into our financial lives.

      2. Mutual Funds
      3. Demat Account
      4. Change of Nomination

      6. Multiple Nominees
      7. Claim Process

What is nomination?

A person to whom one can transfer the custodianship of his/her assets, in case of the event of the asset-holder’s death, is termed as a ‘Nominee’. Quite certainly, a nomination does not necessarily mean that you transfer your investments ownership as the full and final settlement to your nominee.

Additionally, the distribution of the same will occur in accordance with the WILL. A nominee could be a legal beneficiary, or he/she could also be any other person, who takes the permissible custody of the investor’s assets, in case of the latter’s death.

Why nomination is important?

It is necessary for any responsible person to have a nomination in place, in all of his financial investments. In the recent times, in accordance with revised regulations, it has become mandatory to put one’s nomination before commencing any investment. Amidst the compulsion, one must ensure that the investor nominates the desired person.

Let us now describe the process and the facts related to your nomination registration in some of the following financial assets.

1.Life Insurance

In this asset scheme, the final claim proceedings will, although settle in the nominee’s favor, but he will be liable to fund distribution only according to the ‘WILL’. If the Will is not prepared, all the heirs will get an equal distribution of the share.

2.Mutual Funds

The process of Mutual Fund nomination is as simple as filling out your form details, while making an application for investment. One can also change the nomination, by filling the specified form that is available at all Mutual Fund offices. One can also nominate a minor, along with the guardian’s name.

The nomination and the fund transfers take place according to the units mentioned in the MF folio brochure. In all future units too, the same nomination will be applicable under the MF document.

3.Demat Account

The nomination in a demat account will not be like that of Life insurance or Mutual funds. The nominee here will be the legal beneficiary of the shares. Therefore, one must take care, while selecting a nominee for this account.

According to the Companies Act, this account’s nominee has the power to supersede the Will, thereby transferring the share holdings to nominee’s Demat.

4.Change of Nomination

One may change his nominee’s name, anytime during the term of investment. There is no restriction on the number of times, the nomination can be changed.

It is better for you to review the nomination periodically. Initially you could have kept your mother as the nominee. After your marriage you may change it to your wife. Later when your children become major, you may change the nominee as your son or daughter.

5.Minor as a Nominee

Even you can nominate a minor. In case the nominee is a minor, an appointee looks after the asset until the minor turns into a major. So in addition to selecting the nominee you need to select the appointee for the minor nominee

6.Multiple Nominees

Life Insurance also has the option of having more than one (multiple) nominations, which divides the investor’s assured sum among all his nominees.

7.Claim Process

The transfer of the investor’s assets does not take place directly, without completing a stipulated claim process. The nominee must first inform the respective financial institutions, regarding the investor’s death, and thereafter seek knowledge of the assets claiming process. The nominee should also submit the mandatory documents to validate his asset transfer, as stated under the law.

Although due to the law imposed by various regulatory bodies, the transmission processes of every financial institution is different, but let us get to know about some of the primary documents that all of them require. These include the Identity Proof of nominee, KYC Compliance (in case of MF and Demat Accounts), the Probate of Will, Succession certificate, the Claim Form, and Death certificate of the unit holder.

Concluding the discussion over Nominations, we will just say that this small step is just a way to ensure the security of our loved ones in a large way, which could otherwise become challenging for your nominees. Therefore, along with this, one should also prepare a registered WILL as part of his succession planning. Doing this will further reduce the pressure of assets’ transfer.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
