Future Generali unveil new Indian Insurance Products
Posted on Jun 30, 2010 by Sergio Ulloa (G+)
Future Generali India Life Insurance has unveiled two new products which are ready to go on sale in India in the near future; a Net Asset Value (NAV) unit linked insurance plan, Future Generali NAV Assure, and health plus term life insurance plans. Future Generali's new Net Asset Value (NAV) unit linked plan, Generali NAV Assure, is set up to maximize the growth potential of the policy while providing some protection from volatile market forces by guaranteeing customers the choice between the highest daily NAV recorded in the first 7 years of the policy being in force or the NAV at the policy's maturity date, whichever happens to be higher. The policy has a fixed term of 10 years and is available to any person between 8-60 years of age. Currently, about 70 percent of Future Generali's business comes from unit-linked products. Future Generali's other product is planned for a future launch date. Since the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) decided to allow combination products of health insurance coupled with life insurance earlier in 2010, Future Generali is planning on having its health plus life insurance ready within the next two months. The Chief Executive Officer of Future Generali India Life Insurance, Deepak Sood said "We are looking to launch a health plus term life insurance product, possibly in the next two months. I see this kind of product to steadily build over the next three to five years. It can lead to several other combinations, and set the ball rolling for more complex products." Future Generali India Life Insurance is a joint venture between India-based Future Group and Italian insurance company Generali. Future Generali India Life Insurance earned Rs 4.86 billion (US$ 100 million) in business premiums during 2009 and is hoping to reach Rs 12 billion (US$ 257 million) in 2010.
