Kotak Platinum – Key Features

Unit Linked Insurance Plan: This is a unit linked insurance plan which offers the dual benefit of life insurance and investment. Part of the insurance premium goes towards providing a life cover and the rest is invested in different investment funds with a medium to long-term investment horizon.

Low Charges Help in Wealth Maximisation: The plan has low charges which ensure that major portion of the money is invested in investment funds. The premium allocation in this plan ranges from 95% to 98.5%, meaning that most of the insurance premium goes towards investment, helping maximise returns over the policy term.

7 Fund Options: This plan offers a choice of 7 investment funds which have a risk-return profile ranging from secure to aggressive. These funds invest in different degrees in equities, debt and money market instruments to suit the risk appetite of the policyholder.

  • Classic Opportunities Fund
  • Frontline Equity Fund
  • Balanced Fund
  • Dynamic Bond Fund
  • Dynamic Floating Rate Fund
  • Dynamic Gilt Fund
  • Money Market Fund

3 Investment Strategies: The plan offers the flexibility to choose from 3 investment strategies to build a substantial corpus at the end of the policy term.

  • Self Managed Strategy: This strategy allows self-management of investments
  • Age Based Strategy: This strategy is useful for people who do not have the time and the financial expertise to manage their investments. Allocation is done based on the age and risk appetite of the policyholder. Depending on one’s risk appetite – aggressive, moderate or conservative, funds are allocated between Classic Opportunities Fund and Dynamic Bond Fund. The basic premise of this strategy is that risk taken is inversely proportional to one’s age i.e. it makes sense to take a higher risk when young.
  • Systematic Switching Strategy (SSS): This strategy allows participation in the equity markets in a systematic manner. It invests all or some part of the investments in the Money Market Fund and transfers a pre-defined amount every month into Classic Opportunities Fund or Frontline Equity Fund based on the selection. This is done by redeeming the required number of units from the Money Market Fund at the applicable unit value, and allocating new units in the Classic Opportunities Fund or Frontline Equity Fund at the applicable unit value.

Additional Protection: The plan gives a choice of 2 optional riders which increase the level of protection in the base plan.

  • Kotak Accidental Death Benefit Rider (Linked): If the life insured dies as a result of an accident, this rider pays the Rider Sum Assured in addition to the Death Benefit
  • Kotak Permanent Disability Benefit Rider (Linked): If an accident results in total and permanent disability of the life insured, the Rider Sum Assured is paid and the base policy continues

Partial Withdrawals: The plan allows partial withdrawals of funds after completion of 5 policy years to address financial emergencies 

Kotak Platinum – Benefits
