5. Systematic Transfer Plan (STP)

   This is a way to invest your annual premium in a systematic way. It helps you to replicate a rupee cost averaging method, which means that you invest the same amount of money each month, regardless of the market conditions. This can help you to reduce your risk and improve your chances of getting a good return on your investment.

   • Systematic Transfer Plan is only available for single premium policies or policies taken with annual mode. 

   • This means that you have to pay the entire premium in one lump sum or in 12 equal instalments.

   • When you first take out the policy, the entire premium will be allocated to the Secure Plus Fund. 

   • On each subsequent monthly anniversary, 1/13 of the units in the Secure Plus Fund will be transferred to the Growth Super Fund. 

   • This process will continue until all of the units in the Secure Plus Fund have been transferred to the Growth Super Fund.

6. Dynamic Fund Allocation

   Dynamic Fund Allocation is an investment strategy that invests more in equity funds in the early years of your policy and then gradually shifts to more conservative funds as your policy matures. This is done to help you get the most out of your investment while also managing your risk. 

   • You can only choose the Dynamic Fund Allocation option at the inception of your policy. 

   • Once you have chosen this option, the assets under management in your policy will be maintained in a pre-defined proportion between the Growth Super Fund and the Secure Fund. 

   • The proportion of assets in each fund will change depending on the number of years left to maturity.

7. Premium Reduction Post Lock-In Period

   You can once reduce your premium by up to 50% of the original annual premium after the 5-year lock-in period has ended. The reduced premium must still be at least the minimum premium limit.
