B. Wheel of Life Portfolio Strategy – II:

In this Portfolio Strategy, at the commencement of the Policy, the Regular/Limited Premium and the top-up Premium, if any, would be allocated to the Funds mentioned (namely Equity Growth Fund II, Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund II, Bond Fund & Liquid Fund) in the proportion as mentioned in the table below, depending on the outstanding years to maturity.

	Proportion in Following Funds
Years to Maturity	Equity Growth Fund II	Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund II	Bond Fund	Liquid Fund	Total
10 & above	40%	45%	15%	0%	100%
9	35%	50%	15%	0%	100%

2	10%	30%	30%	30%	100%
1	0%	0%	35%	65%	100%

C. Trigger-Based Portfolio Strategy II:

Under this Portfolio Strategy, Regular/Limited Premiums and Top-up Premiums if any, will be allocated between two Funds, Equity Growth Fund II (an equity-oriented Fund), and Bond Fund (a debt-oriented Fund), in a 75%: 25% proportion. The Fund value proportions may subsequently get altered due to market movements.

Any appreciation over three times the value of units is considered a gain and is switched to the Liquid Fund.

Later, it will be switched to the Equity Growth Fund II and the Bond Fund such that, after the transfer, the ratio of the value of units in the Equity Growth Fund II to that in the Bond Fund is restored to 75%:25%.

D. Auto Transfer Portfolio Strategy:

This strategy helps you to invest your money systematically by automatically transferring your money every month, from a low-risk Fund to the Fund(s) of your choice.

In this Portfolio Strategy, your Premium will be allocated to the Bond Fund and/or Liquid Fund, as specified by you.

At the start of each monthly anniversary of the Policy, a proportion (as mentioned below) of Fund value in the Bond Fund and/or Liquid Fund as on that date will be switched to the other Fund/s (available in the plan) as specified by you.

The proportion of Fund value = 1/ Outstanding no. of months till the next premium due date.

E. Capital Preservation-Oriented Strategy:

The objective of the strategy is to optimise risk and return by investing across five pre-determined Funds, which are a mix of very high to low-risk Funds, in such a way that the monies invested over the years along with the accumulated returns are subjected to lesser market volatility, in the years closer to maturity.

Under this strategy, at the commencement of the Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII policy, the Regular Premium and the Top-Up premium, if any, would be allocated to the Funds mentioned (namely Equity Growth Fund II, Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund II, Pure Stock Fund II, Bond Fund & Liquid Fund) in the proportion as mentioned in the table below.

	Proportion in Following Funds
Years to Maturity	Equity Growth Fund II	Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund II	Pure Stock Fund II	Bond Fund	Liquid Fund	Total
10 & above	40%	15%	15%	30%	0%	100%
9	35%	15%	15%	35%	0%	100%
8	30%	15%	15%	40%	0%	100%
7	30%	15%	15%	40%	0%	100%
6	30%	10%	15%	45%	0%	100%

Research Methodology of Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII

Estimating the potential returns of a market-linked product is important before investing.

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) helps evaluate the annualised return generated by the investment and compare it with inflation and other investment options.

Let’s examine the IRR based on the benefit illustration provided in the policy brochure.

Benefit Illustration – IRR Analysis of Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII

Consider a 35-year-old male who purchases the Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII – Wealth Variant with a policy term of 20 years. He pays an annual premium of ₹1 lakh for 10 years and receives a Sum Assured of ₹10 lakhs.

Male	35 years
Sum Assured	₹ 10,00,000
Policy Term	20 years
Premium Paying Term	10 years
Annualised Premium	₹ 1,00,000

By paying the premiums as scheduled, he becomes eligible for benefits such as the return of allocation charges and Fund Booster, along with the fund value payable at maturity.

The 4% and 8% scenarios shown in the illustration are assumed rates of return and are not guaranteed.

55		15,19,361		27,58,535

	IRR	2.72%		6.65%

At a 4% return scenario, the illustrated maturity fund value is ₹15.19 lakhs, resulting in an IRR of 2.72% as per the Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII Plan maturity calculator.

At an 8% return scenario, the illustrated maturity fund value is ₹27.58 lakhs, resulting in an IRR of 6.65% as per the Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII Plan maturity calculator.

These IRRs should be considered in the context of inflation and the risk involved in market-linked investments.

The difference between the assumed fund returns and the investor’s actual IRR also highlights the impact of policy charges and other deductions on the overall outcome.

Therefore, the plan should be evaluated alongside alternative investment options before deciding whether it fits the investor’s financial goals.

Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII Vs. Other Investments

Let’s compare the Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII with alternative investment strategies using the same assumptions as in the earlier illustration.

Instead of combining insurance and investment in a single product, we can consider a separate term insurance policy and invest the remaining amount towards financial goals.

Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII Vs. Pure-Term + PPF/Equity Mutual Fund

A pure-term life insurance policy with a Sum Assured of ₹10 lakhs costs ₹7,500 annually for 20 years, with premiums payable for 10 years.

This leaves ₹92,500 per year from the ₹1 lakh annual budget, which can be invested separately based on the investor’s risk profile.

Pure Term Life Insurance Policy
Sum Assured	₹ 10,00,000
Policy Term	20 years
Premium Paying Term	10 years
Annualised Premium	₹ 7,500
Investment	₹ 92,500

For Low-Risk Investors — PPF

The Public Provident Fund (PPF) requires a minimum annual investment of ₹500 and has a 15-year tenure. The available investment amount is adjusted during the final years to align the cash flows with the comparison.

At maturity, the PPF corpus grows to ₹27.29 lakhs, resulting in an IRR of 6.58%. This is broadly comparable to the 6.65% IRR in the 8% illustrated scenario of Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII, despite PPF being a debt-oriented investment.

For High-Risk Investors — Equity Mutual Fund

If the same amount is invested in an equity mutual fund, assuming the return used in the illustration, the maturity value grows to ₹56.46 lakhs.

After accounting for capital gains tax, the post-tax value is ₹50.72 lakhs, resulting in an IRR of 10.74%.

		Term Insurance + PPF		Term insurance + ELSS

	IRR	6.58%		10.74%

ELSS Tax Calculation
Maturity value after 20 years	56,46,584
Purchase price	9,25,000
Long-Term Capital Gains	47,21,584
Exemption limit	1,25,000
Taxable LTCG	45,96,584
Tax paid on LTCG	5,74,573
Maturity value after tax	50,72,011

This comparison highlights the potential benefit of keeping insurance and investments separate.

A term insurance policy can provide the required life cover, while the remaining funds can be invested separately according to the investor’s risk profile and financial goals.

Separate investments may also provide greater liquidity and flexibility than the policy structure.

Final Verdict on Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII

The Bajaj Life Smart Wealth Goal VII combines market-linked investments with life insurance and offers features such as Fund Boosters and the return of certain charges.

While the plan is positioned as a wealth accumulation solution, the illustrated returns may be lower than those available through other market-linked investment options.

This raises questions about whether the returns adequately compensate for the risks and charges involved.

For long-term investors, generating returns that can keep pace with inflation is important for preserving purchasing power and achieving financial goals.

Lower-than-expected returns can increase the amount required to achieve a goal or extend the time needed to reach it and it also has a high agent commission.

Therefore, the plan should be evaluated carefully as part of the investor’s overall financial plan.

An alternative approach is to use a standalone pure-term life insurance policy for life protection and invest the remaining surplus separately.

The investment can then be aligned with the financial goal, investment horizon, and risk profile. A well-diversified portfolio can provide greater flexibility in managing different financial goals.

Do Quora, Facebook, and Twitter have the final say when it comes to financial advice?

If making these decisions feels overwhelming, consulting a Certified Financial Planner can help. A customised financial plan can bring together insurance, investments, goals, and risk management based on your individual circumstances.

Working with holistic investment planners was a really wonderful experience for me. For me the entire team had been very supportive in all ways. Their working strategy is well planned and methodical. They always keep me informed and updated about my investments, so that i can take informed decisions. The team first helps us understand the basics of investments, then they collect data, work with the data and then provide investments solutions according to our goals which i find it the best. Good luck to the entire team.

We have availed holistic service from last couple of years and are very happy with our decision. Their systematic approach has helped us plan our finances and meet our goals. They provide very comprehensive and detail plan and resource management every 6 months which ensures we are on right track to achieve our goals. Rajan and Ramalingam from holistic are always there to help us with our queries. They have also accommodated any changes to our goals or resources mid year in a professional manner.

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.
