65 31 11,87,794   14,17,315  
           
  IRR 2.67%   5.73%  

Assumed investment return rates: 4% p.a. and 8% p.a. Here the investment returns are not guaranteed. They do not represent the maximum or minimum amount you could be reimbursed because the value of your policy is based on a variety of variables, including future investment performance.

With the given cash bonus rate, the IRR works out to be 2.67 (for 4%) & 5.73% (for 8%). These are not guaranteed. The policy term is 30 years. There is a cash payout during this period. The policyholder might tend to spend the cash bonus for discretionary expenses as this amount may not suffice to meet the short-term goals. The IRR of the ABSLI Akshaya plan is not an inflation-beating return.

ABSLI Akshaya Plan vs. Other Investments:

One of the best ways to beat inflation is to invest in asset classes whose return outpace the rate of inflation. In the above illustration, the IRR is below the inflation rate. There are better investment options which have a risk-adjusted return in the market. These investments will help to achieve your goals.

ABSLI Akshaya Plan Vs. ELSS 

Investors can protect their savings from the threat of inflation by investing in high-yielding instruments. Investing in an ELSS mutual fund earns better returns and also has tax benefits. Similar to the illustration above let us assume an annual cash flow of Rs. 1 lakh. This amount is split & invested in Term insurance for life cover & ELSS for investment.

Pure-term insurance:  
Sum Assured 11 lakhs
Tenure 30 years
Premium paying term 10 Years
Annual premium 15000
ELSS investment 85000
Total Annual cash outflow Rs. 1 lakh

 

    ABSLI Akshaya plan – At 8% p.a. Term insurance + ELSS
Age  Year Annualised premium / Maturity benefit Death benefit Term Insurance premium + ELSS Death benefit
35 1 -1,00,000 11,04,000 -1,00,000 11,04,000

37 3 -62,685 11,04,000 -62,685 11,04,000

58 24 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
59 25 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
60 26 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
61 27 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
62 28 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
63 29 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
64 30 37,315 11,04,000 37,315 11,04,000
65 31 14,17,315   71,47,465  
           
  IRR 5.73%   10.79%  

After paying a premium of Rs.15 K for a pure term, the balance amount of Rs. 85K is invested in ELSS in the first 10 years. In the ABSLI Akshaya plan, a Cash bonus is receivable at the end of every policy year. 

Similarly, under ELSS also annual withdrawal is assumed. The IRR for the ELSS investment works out to be 10.79%. This shows that investing in an Equity mutual fund can beat inflation in the long run. 

Final Verdict on ABSLI Akshaya Plan:

ABSLI Akshaya plan has a cash bonus in the form of payouts. This will help to meet only short-term goals or any big-shot annual expenses. They are not guaranteed. It is payable only based on the year-on-year declaration. This will not help to meet any important life goals. And the IRR is also not high yielding.

An investment should allow your savings to grow faster or at least at the same rate of inflation. Otherwise, savings will not be enough to fulfil your dreams.

Good luck to the entire team.

For the past year, I have been interacting with Holistic Investment. I frequently read Nanayam Vikatan, which is a publication owned by the Vikatan family, and I was impressed by their financial advice. My brother also suggested holistic investing, and he also got excellent financial advice. Holistic Investment follows a methodical approach that I really liked because they first fully understand our financial situation "As Is," which includes "Assets" and "Liabilities," as well as our short-, mid-, and long-term goals, on the basis of which they provide a detailed plan on how to achieve our goals for which they are recommending various investment options. Even in the investment advice, why do they suggest particular mutual funds and what is the justification behind it, which adds transparency to the client. One essential factor is that they are always available. Even if I needed to make some urgent financial decisions, they were very helpful and kind to answer my questions via phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and emails. I was very happy with their service. Periodic reviews are also crucial, even though I have forgotten that they occur once every three months, and I also intend to renew this year.
