SMART

Manage your money with Systematic Money Allocation & Regular Transfer Investment (SMART)

Systematic Money Allocation & Regular Transfer (SMART) is a systematic transfer plan that allows a customer to enter the volatile equity market in a structured manner under the Regular Premium Account.

Through SMART, one can initially park the annual allocable premium along with any existing units in any one fund (chosen out of the funds of Tata AIG Life InvestAssure Superstar). This fund is called the “Accumulation Fund”. Thereafter a defined portion out of the Accumulation Fund will get transferred to another fund (chosen out of the funds of Tata AIG Life InvestAssure Superstar, other than the Accumulation Fund) on a monthly basis. This fund is called the “Target Fund”.

Thus, while the stock market remains volatile and unpredictable, SMART Investment offers a systematic way of rupee cost averaging. However, all investments through this option are still subject to investment risks, which shall continue to be borne by you.

The following are the notable features of SMART:

·          SMART can be availed at the option of the policy holder, exercisable at policy Inception or on any policy anniversary. Request to start SMART should be received 30 days in advance of the policy anniversary. The request if acceptable by us shall take effect on the following Policy Anniversary.

·          SMART option is available only to the policies with the Annual Mode of payment.

·          The automatic fund switches in the SMART option is available out of the 24 free switches

·          The policyholder will have the option to stop SMART at any point of time by a written request and it shall take effect from the next SMART switching that follows our receipt and approval.

·          Manual fund switching for the funds (Accumulation and Target) on which SMART is active is not allowed. Manual fund switching is however allowed on other available funds. For Top up premiums, manual switching option will be available at applicable charges. Conditions regarding switch fee, minimum switch and minimum fund after switch etc. for normal switching option shall be as applicable during the SMART. 

·          Any amount remaining in regular premium funds, other than the Accumulation Fund and the Target Fund, would remain in those funds and continue to grow.

·          SMART Option will not be available during Premium discontinuance and when the policy is in the “Investment Only” Status.

·          Super 110% Capital Guarantee fund cannot be chosen under SMART

·          A portion of total units available in the “Accumulation Fund” shall be switched automatically into the “Target Fund” in the following way:
