by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Insurance

Listen to this article


Do you find it difficult to select an insurance policy from a pool of plans available in the market?
Do you want to be cautious in selecting a policy?

Life insurance can be broadly classified as Pure Term plan, Endowment plan, Money back plan & Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP). Though some investors want to get the upside of market-linked return through ULIP plans, they want to ensure that their capital is protected.

Max Life Insurance has come up with a combination of Endowment & ULIP plans. The benefits of the two plans are combined under Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution.

The two products are Max Life Smart Wealth Plan (endowment) and Max Life Flexi Wealth Advantage Plan (ULIP). Let us understand the working of the plan.

Disadvantages of Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution:

  • The combinations & the working of the plans are a hassle for the investor.
  • The life cover under this plan is just 10 times the annualised premium. It is limited to policy terms; it does not cover the income benefit period.

Research Methodology on Max LifeSmart Capital Guarantee Solution:

Now, we have seen all the factors that we need to know about Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution..

So, now, we are going to do detailed research on the IRR of the Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution.

Simply knowing about the plan cannot help you to decide whether you should buy this plan or not.

That’s why we are going to do the research methodology to see how much return we can get from Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution and whether it could benefit us or not.

To do this research methodology, first, we are going to calculate the IRR of the Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution by using the Max Life Online Calculator.

Then we are going to use the same value to calculate the IRR of other investments.

Later, we can compare both of these results to see which gives us a better result.

This can help us to decide whether we should purchase this plan or not.

Analysis of Benefit Illustration of Max LifeSmart Capital Guarantee Solution:

    Milestone (10 years) Whole Life Regular Income
  Age 35 45 35
  Premium Paying Term 5 8 6
  Policy Term 10 SWP – 9 years, FWAP – Whole life SWP – 7 years, FWAP – 16 years
  Annualised Premium 3,00,000 3,00,000 3,00,000
  Sum Assured 30,00,000 30,00,000 30,00,000
Benefits Smart Wealth Plan (SWP) At the end of the policy term (10 years) – 15,00,000 Annual guaranteed income – 3 lakhs per annum for 8 years Annual guaranteed income – 41,683 per annum for 30 years + ROP At the end of 30 years – 5,49,540
Flexi Wealth Advantage plan (FWAP) At the end of 10 years 4% – 5,57,085 At the age of 100 years 4% – 47,13,654 At the end of 16 years 4% – 16,94,830 
At the end of 10 years 8% – 7,56,840 At the age of 100 years 8% – 3,30,13,881 At the end of 16 years 8% – 28,28,338
  IRR At the rate of 4% – 4.01% At the rate of 4% – 2.44% At the rate of 4% – 3.89%
  At the rate of 8% – 5.21% At the rate of 8% – 4.08% At the rate of 8% – 6.10%

Milestone (10 Years):

Pay for 5 years & get the benefit of SWP & FWAP at the end of the 10th year.

Whole life:

Pay for 8 years &

Get the benefit of SWP in the form of regular income for 8 years &

Get the benefit of FWAP at the age of 100 years (Partial withdrawal is allowed)

Regular income:

Pay for 6 years &

Get the benefit of SWP in the form of regular income for 30 years + return of premium at the end of 30 years &

Get the benefit of FWAP at the end of 16 years.

On analysing all the combinations, it is evident that all the IRR works out in the range of 2.50% – 6%. These returns won’t be sufficient to create wealth in the long run. Also, there is no guaranteed return for the Flexi wealth Advantage Plan (FWAP).

The assumed rates of returns, 4% and 8%, are not guaranteed and they are not the upper or lower limits of returns of the Funds selected in your policy, as the performance of the Funds is dependent on several factors including future investment performance.

The Max life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution does not help investors in protecting their investments from inflation. The IRR under various combinations is far below the inflation rate. If the inflation rate exceeds the return on investment, then the investor is losing money.

Max LifeSmart Capital Guarantee Solution vs. Other Investments:

The Max life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution is not suitable for wealth accumulation. So, let us investigate other options where life cover & investment are done separately.

A pure term policy for a sum assured of Rs. 30 lakhs (Similar to the benefit illustration explained above) can be taken for a tenure of 10 years & the premium paying term is 5 years. For comparison purpose, the sum assured, policy term & premium paying term is assumed like the Milestone (10 years).

Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solutions VS. ELSS:

Sum Assured 30 lakhs
Tenure  10 years
Premium paying term 5 years
Annual premium 18,000
Balance amount invested in ELSS 2,82,000
Total cash outflow 3,00,000

After paying a premium for the pure term, the balance amount can be invested depending on suitability. Here it is assumed that the balance amount is invested in ELSS for 5 years. The fund grows & matures at the end of 10 years.

  Milestone (10 years) Sum Assured ELSS Sum Assured
  At the rate of 4% At the rate of 8%    
1 -3,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000
2 -3,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000
3 -3,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000
4 -3,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000
5 -3,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000 -3,00,000 30,00,000
6 0 0 30,00,000 0 30,00,000
7 0 0 30,00,000 0 30,00,000
8 0 0 30,00,000 0 30,00,000
9 0 0 30,00,000 0 30,00,000
10 0 0 30,00,000 0 30,00,000
11       20,57,085.00        22,56,845.00    33,33,498.26 30,00,000
         
IRR 4.01% 5.21%   10.36%  

In the Milestone option, the aggregation of both guaranteed & non-guaranteed benefits at the end of 10 years is Rs.20 – 22 lakhs. On the other hand, the final maturity value of ELSS at the end of 10 years after paying the tax is Rs. 33.33 lakhs.

The IRR of ELSS (post-tax) is 10.36%. This is an inflation-beating return which is missing in the Max life smart guarantee solution.

Choosing an appropriate investment to build the required corpus for future goals. Choose either an equity-related investment like ELSS or Debt related instrument like PPF (7.1% rate of interest) based on the risk appetite and time horizon.

Final Verdict on Max LifeSmart Capital Guarantee Solution:

Max Life Smart Capital Guarantee Solution attracts you by showcasing comprehensive benefits such as life cover, guaranteed return & market-linked return and great customization.

This plan is a blend of two existing plans: Smart Wealth Plan and Flexi Wealth Advantage Plan. Each plan has its norms regarding the paid-up, surrender & lock-in period.

There is no clarity on what if the policy is discontinued or what if the policyholder wants to make it paid up or what is the minimum period for surrendering.

Moreover, there is neither an upper hand in investing in terms of return nor it is hassle-free investing. It is futile to invest in the Smart Capital Guarantee Solution as the return is also not in proportion to the risk taken. Overall, choose an investment product to fulfil your short- & long-term goals & take adequate life cover separately through pure term insurance to protect your loved ones.

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.

They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

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.
