Max New York Life launches Flexi Fortune

Max New York Life Insurance has launched Flexi Fortune, a unit-linked insurance plan that offers consumers the flexibility to customise the plan as per their needs through choice of policy tenure, life cover multiple and fund options. The customer value proposition of Flexi Fortune is further strengthened by its unique features of systematic transfer plan to benefit from market volatility, extended tenure to maximise returns by timing the exit and progressive auto cover enhancement (PACE) to meet growing protection need.
Rajesh Sud, CEO & managing director, Max New York Life Insurance said, "The product offers the flexibility to choose policy tenure and protection multiple to the consumers which is best suited for their planned goal-be it savings, retirement or family security. It also offers tools to manage good returns without taking undue risk through seven different fund options."
Flexi Fortune caters to a wide customer segment with flexibility to choose from a range of payment terms and sum assured limits. Depending on the customers ease of payment he may choose either a 5 pay 10 year term, 10 pay 15 year term or 15 pay 20 year term. He may also choose a protection multiple starting from 10 times to 30 times his annual premium amount making it ideal for all categories of investors.
The systematic fund transfer feature ensures that the consumer's investment hits the market in 12 equal installments. It works on the concept of 'rupee cost averaging' and thus makes the volatile market work to ones advantage. This ensures the purchase of more units for same amount at lowered prices thus lowering average purchase price.
The customer may choose to defer his maturity in adverse market condition by increasing his policy term to a maximum of five years without paying any further premium. This also allows him to maximise his returns as it operates like a pure investment tool in the extended period. The percentage of the payout will then be equally divided in the number of years opted by the customer.
PACE works towards progressive increase in life cover to beat inflation ensures a 10% enhancement of life cover each year with no increase in premium. This benefit is inbuilt in the product and is guaranteed over the policy term, subject to timely payment of all due premiums.
