• Fund Value Details
» Computation of NAV
The NAV will be computed as per IRDA (Linked Insurance Products) Regulations, 2019.
The NAV for a particular fund shall be computed as: Market Value of investment held by the fund plus
the value of current assets less the value of current liabilities and provisions, if any. This gives the net
asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before
creation/redemption of units), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration.
In case the valuation day falls on a holiday/non business day, then the exercise will be done on the
following working day.
We reserve the right to value less frequently than daily in extreme circumstances, where the value of
the assets may be too uncertain. In such circumstances the company may defer valuation of assets
for up to 30 days until the company feels that the certainty as to the value of assets has been
resumed. The deferment of the valuation of assets will be with prior consultation with IRDAI.
» Allocation of units
The company applies premiums to allocate units in one or more of the unit linked funds in the
proportions which the policyholder specifies. The allotment of units to the policyholder will be done
only after the receipt of premium proceeds as stated below;
In case of New Business, units shall only be allocated on the day the proposal is completed and
results into a Policy by the application of money towards premium.
In the case of renewal premiums, the premium will be adjusted on the due date, whether or not it
has been received in advance. (This assumes that the full stipulated premium is received on the due
date.) Renewal premiums received in advance will be kept in the deposit account and will not earn
any returns until the renewal premium due date on which the same will be applied to the unit funds.
» Redemptions
In respect of valid applications received (e.g. surrender, switching etc.) up to 3.00 p.m. by the
company, the same day's closing unit price shall be applicable. In case of a holiday or non-business
day the closing unit price of the next business day shall be applicable.
In respect of valid applications received (e.g. surrender, switching etc.) after 3.00 p.m. by the
company, the closing unit price of the next business day shall be applicable.
The unit price for each segregated fund provided under this product shall be made available to the
public in the print media on a daily basis. The unit price will also be displayed in the web portal of the
Company.
» Cancellation of units
To meet fees and charges except Premium Allocation Charge and FMC and to pay benefits, the
Company will cancel the units to meet the amount of the payments which are due. If units are held in
more than one Unit Linked Fund, then the Company will cancel the units in each fund to meet the
amount of the payment. The value of units cancelled in a particular fund will be in the same
proportion as the value of units held in that fund is to the total value of units held across all funds. The
units will be cancelled at the prevailing unit price.
The FMC will be priced in the unit price of each Fund on a daily basis.
» Policy Fund Value
The value of your Policy fund at any time is the total value of units at that point of time in a segregated
fund i.e. total number of units under a Policy multiplied by the Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit of that
fund. If you hold units in more than one Unit Linked Fund, then the value of the fund is the total value
across all Unit Linked Funds. Note that all Fund Values including Top-up funds are aggregated.
