INTRODUCTION

In the commercial arena, the choice of an effective strategy is perhaps the most important and
the toughest decision to take. The decision to select among the grand strategies and deciding
Upon which strategy, will best meet the organization objectives is rendered complex by multiple
considerations. The same is also true with the insurance companies in India who are constantly
revamping their strategies and coming out with innovative options to stay in the competition. There
were days when Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was the only insurance company
available to people in India and where people synonymies Insurance to LIC. Also, since it was a
Public-Sector Undertaking (PSU) it has a great support from people. But now times have changed
a lot of private players have entered into the fray. There have been a lot of Indian companies
collaborating with foreign insurance giants like ICICI Prudential, Bajaj Allianz etc. who have
already made their presence felt in the Indian Insurance industry.

Even though LIC is still the market leader with more than over 60% of the market share, the private
players are giving it a tough time. Since the last decade the market share of LIC had fallen by about
more than 20%.

The new private players have started offering a variety of unlimited schemes right from insurance
plans for a 30 days old baby to that of a 70 years old senior citizen. Also, the private
Companies have started creating the important have started positioning their brands and are
Marketing their products in such a way the people have started feeling the need of security
in their lives.

Taking into account the huge population and growing per capita income besides several other
driving factors, a huge opportunity is in store for the insurance companies in India. According to
the latest research findings, nearly 80% of Indian population are without life insurance cover while
health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. And this
part of the population is also subjected to weak social security and pension systems with hardly
any old age income security. As per our findings, insurance in India is primarily used as a means
to improve personal finances and for income tax planning; Indians tend to invest in properties and
gold followed by bank deposits. They selectively invest in shares also but the percentage is very
small (4-5%). This in itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is immense.
It's a business growing at the rate of 15-20% per annum and presently is of the order of around
more than $55 billion.

India is a vast market for life insurance that is directly proportional to the growth in premiums and
an increase in life density. With the entry of private sector players backed by foreign expertise,
Indian insurance market has become more vibrant.
Competition in this market is increasing with companys continuous effort to lure the customers
with new product offerings. However, the market share of private insurance companies remains low in the 25-
35% range. Even to this day, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India dominates Indian insurance sector. The
heavy hand of government still dominates the market, with price controls, limits on ownership, and other
restraints. They private players are still in their initial days and would take some more time to capture a good
market share. At present, they are coming up with new and innovative ideas.

Since the last decade the life insurance industry in India has been growing very fast and many new companies
have entered this business insurance. The Indian life insurance industry has recorded a robust growth of more
than 16 per cent for the nine-month period which ended on December 31, 2008.It is expected to grow at an
amazing rate of 20 per cent this year Also in the present scenario the most sought after insurance plans are the
Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs).

A ULIP is a life insurance policy which provides a combination of risk cover and investment. ULIPs have
gained high acceptance due to attractive features they offer like flexibility, transparency, liquidity and a vast
variety of fund option. Unit linked plans are suitable for all customer profiles; however, as a general belief the
risk averse investors tend to choose traditional plans and an informed customer prefers a ULIP. ULIPs offer
the kind of flexibility that no insurance product can. ULIPs essentially combine the benefits of an insurance
policy and a market-linked investment. Investors can select a ULIP with an equity-debt combination that is in
line with their risk profile. A risk-taking investor would typically select one with a high equity component,
while a risk-averse investor would opt for a debt-heavy one. Simply put, ULIPs are structured in such a way
that the protection element and the savings element are distinguishable, and hence managed according to your
specific needs. In this way, the ULIP plan offers unprecedented flexibility and transparency.

So, with many players around for a company to really be successful it has to be very efficient on all fronts. It
must constantly adapt to the changing consumer preferences with a lot of new innovations and implementing
new technology try to different from the lot. Especially if it is a new player in the market the company has to
really work very hard to get into the completion and stay afloat.

Homesurance
Bondsurance
Retiresurance
WEALTHSURANCE

The Wealthsurance Foundation Plan enables the customer to save and build wealth to meet your
financial goals. However, unlike other investment alternatives, it also enables him to achieve his
wealth goals even in the event of unexpected death, accidents, disablement or serious illness. The
Wealthsurance Foundation Plan can ensure that his plans for wealth creation are achieved by
protecting that plan with insurance benefits.

HOMESURANCE

The Homesurance Protection Plan is a reducing term plan, which provides insurance cover equal
to the outstanding balance of your home loan. In the unfortunate event of death of the home loan
borrower, the insurance cover enables repayment of the home loan liability.

BONDSURANCE

Bondsurance is a single premium plan which allows you to make a one-time investment and get a
guaranteed amount on maturity. You can choose a maturity period of 5 or 10 years for your
investment. At the end of the chosen period, you will receive a guaranteed maturity amount.
Besides the guaranteed maturity amount, Bondsurance also provides a life insurance cover. In case
of death before the maturity date, a Death Benefit which is also guaranteed will be paid. Thus you
can get life insurance cover, while earning an assured return on your investment.

RETIRESURANCE

Retiresurance is a pension plan without life cover that allows a longer policy term so that the
customers investments can get the benefit of compounding. The customer has to choose any
vesting age between 40-75 yrs. The vesting age chosen can also be postponed or preponed within
the above range by informing the company 30 days in advance. It is especially for people who
wish to lead a happy and prosperous life even after their retirement.

UNIT LINKED INSURANCE PLANS

Unit linked insurance plan (ULIP) is a life insurance solution that provides the client with the
benefits of protection and flexibility in investment. It is a solution which provides for life insurance
where the policy value at any time varies according to the value of the underlying assets at the
time. The investment is denoted as unit and is represented by the value that it has attained called
as Net Asset Value (NAV).

ULIPs are a category of goal-based financial solutions that combine the safety of insurance
protection with wealth creation opportunities. In ULIPs, a part of the investment goes towards
providing a life cover. The residual portion of the ULIP is invested in a fund which in turn invests
in stocks or bonds; the value of investments alters with the performance of the underlying fund
opted by the customer.

Simply put, ULIPs are structured in such that the protection element and the savings element are
distinguishable, and hence managed according to your specific needs. In this way, the ULIP plan
offers unprecedented flexibility and transparency. ULIPs came into play in 1960s and became very
popular in Western Europe and America. The reason that is attributed to the wide spread popularity
of ULIP is because of the transparency and the flexibility which it offers to the clients. As time
progressed the plans were also successfully mapped along with life insurance needs to retirement
planning .In todays times U insurance planning, financial needs, financial planning.

Asset Value (NAV) .

INDUSTRY PROFILE

1.4.1 INSURANCE

Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and property.
Under the plan of insurance, a large number of people associate themselves by sharing risks attached
to individuals. The risks which can be insured against include fire, the perils of sea, death and
accidents and burglary. Any risk contingent upon these, may be insured against at a premium
commensurate with the risk involved. Thus, collective bearing of risk is insurance.

1.4.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF INSURANCE

Sharing of risks
Cooperative device
Evaluation of risk
Payment on happening of a special event
The amount of payment depends on the nature of losses incurred.

1.4.3 HISTORY OF INDIAN INSURANCE

Insurance has a long history in India. Life Insurance in its current form was introduced in 1818 when
Oriental Life Insurance Company began its operations in India. General Insurance was however a
comparatively late entrant in 1850 when Triton Insurance company set up its base in Kolkata.

History of Insurance in India can be broadly bifurcated into three eras:

Pre-Nationalization
Nationalization and
Post Nationalization

Life Insurance was the first to be nationalized in 1956. Consolidating the operations of various
insurance companies formed Life Insurance Corporation of India. General Insurance followed suit
and was nationalized in 1973. General Insurance Corporation of India was set up as the controlling
body with New India, United India, National and Oriental as its subsidiaries. The process of opening
the insurance sector was initiated against the background of Economic Reform process, which
commenced from 1991. For this purpose, Malhotra Committee was formed during this year who
submitted their report in 1994 and Insurance Regulatory Development Act (IRDA) was passed in
1999. Resultantly Indian Insurance was opened for private companies and Private Insurance
Company effectively started operations from 2001.

Total life insurance premium in India is projected to grow Rs. 12,30,000 crores by 2010-
11.


Total non-life insurance premium is expected to increase at a CAGR of 25% for the period
spanning from 2008-09 to 2010-11.

With the entry of several low-cost airlines, along with fleet expansion by existing ones and
increasing corporate aircraft ownership, the Indian aviation insurance market is all set to
boom in a big way in coming years.


Home insurance segment is set to achieve a 100% growth as financial institutions have
made home insurance obligatory for housing loan approvals.


Health insurance is poised to become the second largest business for non-life insurers after
motor insurance in next three years.

A booming life insurance market has propelled the Indian life insurance agents into the
Top 10 country list in terms of members
An exclusive club for the highest performing life insurance agents.

1.4.4 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND FOREIGN PARTICIPATION

Minimum capital requirement for direct life and Non-life Insurance company is INR1000 million
and that for reinsurance company is INR2000 million. A maximum 26% foreign equity stake is
allowed in direct insurance and reinsurance companies. In the 2004-05 budget, the Government
proposed for increasing the foreign equity stake to 49%.

1.4.5 LIFE INSURANCE

As is evident from its very name, it deals with insurance of human life. Life insurance
corporation of India a public-sector undertaking has the monopoly in this sector since its
nationalization.

In our wordily life, whenever there is uncertainty, there is an involvement of risk. The instinct for
security against such risk is one of the basic motivating forces determining human attitudes. As a
squeal to this quest for Security, the concept of insurance must have been born.

The urge to provide insurance or protection against the loss of life & property must have prompted
people to make some sort of sacrifice willingly in order to achieve security through
COLLECTIVE CO-OPERATION, in this sense story of insurance is probably as old as story of
mankind.

All life insurance companies in India have to comply with the strict regulations laid out by Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDA). Therefore, there is no risk in going in for
private insurance players. In terms of being rated for financial strength like international players,
only ICICI Prudential is rated by Fitch India at National Insurer Financial Strength Rating of AAA
(Ind) with stable outlook indicating the highest claims paying ability rating.
The private companies are coming out with better products which are more beneficial to the
customer. Among such products are the ULIPs or the Unit Linked Insurance Plans which offer both
life cover as well as scope for savings or investment options as the customer desires. Further, these
types of plans are subject to a minimum lock-in period of three years to prevent misuse of the
significant tax benefits offered to such plans under the Income Tax Act.
Unlike the mutual fund product that has a very simple cost structure, ULIPs carry a greater number
of costs (administration and mortality), in addition to the others. So comparing ULIPs with mutual
funds is erroneous

Right now there are a total twenty two life insurance companies operating in India, of which one
(Life Insurance Corporation) is a Public Sector Undertaking and the remaining twenty three are all
private sector enterprises.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Till today a lot of research has been done on the Indian insurance industry especially the life
insurance sector. The material for this study was collected from various internet sites, journals and
books by various authors. Similar research has been carried out by analyst who worked on the risk
profile of ULIPs and analysed insurance as an investment option. They say that Life Insurance
Corporation of India (LIC) is still the undisputed leader in the Indian context.

According to Ravi Akula, Asst. Professor, Department of Commerce and Business Management,
Mahatma Gandhi University and Tirupathi Kanchu, Faculty Member, Vaagdevi Institute of
Medical Sciences the insurance sector has changed entirely with the onset of 21st century as it
welcomed many private players. Hence, with the increased competition companies thrive to come
up with a better insurance plans for the people. To overcome the competition, the private players
mainly targeted with ULIP policies over traditional policies. With the advancement in the plans
life based contracts can now be classified into two categories i.e. protection policies in which
benefit is provided in the event of specified event, e.g. term plan and investment policies wherein
the purpose is to enhance the growth of capital by regular or single premiums, e.g. whole life,
universal life and variable life. The ULIP plans enjoyed a tremendous growth from 2007 to 2009,
whereas the Life Fund saw a steady decline, yet the ULIP boomed amazingly well. Life insurance
marketing is one of the most strenuous jobs for those who are involved in the insurance marketing.
It is because of the everlasting conflict between the insurance companies which want to profit the
most and the insured person who wants to get as much compensation as possible from the insurance
company. Commissions for the life insurance companies are very high and they seldom make
profits out of the policies. Also, the insurance policy needs to be transparent so that the potential
customer understands it totally and should not feel that they have been treated unfairly by the
insurance company. The marketing of traditional policies is similar to the marketing of Unit Linked
Insurance Plans (ULIPs). The difference arises due to the allotment of insured premium. In ULIP
policies, some proportion of amount of the premium of a policy holder is invested in the market.
Based on the market trend, the returns are calculated for each premium paid by the policy holder.

According to Mr Kantesha Sanningammanavara, the companies with a better NAV (Net Asset Value)
have a better portfolio. There is every type of player in the market. There are companies which provide
a great rate of return and there are companies that provide very low rate of return. So, it is very essential
to think before investing in any company, even though the services offered might be similar but the
return can be significantly different.

IDBI FEDERAL is a new company with over just over Six year of operations and so we
have very less information about its past performance. Therefore not many negatives can
be found with the company in regard to the Unit Linked Insurance Plans. Some general
demerits with regard to the distribution network and marketing strategies have been
mentioned after the analysis of the primary data.

As a part of this comparative analysis we have also compared the performance of ULIPs
of a selected fund since the last one year (as the data of IDBI FEDERAL is limited only
to the last one year). The comparison has been carried out in the next page.
PERFORMANCE OF ULIPs OF THE SELECTED COMPANIES

Here in order to compare the performances of the ULIPs of the selected five companies with that
of IDBI FEDERAL we have selected a particular type of fund called equity growth funds. The
reason for selecting equity growth fund is that we would be very clearly able to understand the
effect of market slowdown on these companies. Here we have considered the Net Asset Values
(NAV) of the equity growth funds from August 1st 2016 to June 1st 2017.We have then compared
the maximum and minimum NAVs during the period and found out the percentage change for the
NAVs observed for the equity funds of the respective selected companies selected companies.

We have calculated the average NAV for every month (from August 1st 2016 to June 1st 2017)
for all the companies and then plotted them on graphs. We have then found out the extent to which
each company was affected due to the market slowdown.

To move further let us first get acquainted with what is portfolio:

A portfolio is a collection of investments held by an institution or a private individual. Holding a


portfolio is part of an investment and risk-limiting strategy called diversification. By owning
several assets, certain types of risk (in particular specific risk) can be reduced. The aim of Portfolio
Management is to achieve the maximum return from a portfolio which has been delegated to be
managed by an individual manager or financial institution. The manager has to balance the
parameters which define a good investment i.e. security, liquidity and return. The goal is to obtain
the highest return for the client of the managed portfolio. While doing the portfolio management
of customers it is ensured that the portfolio has multiple objectives and achieves a sound balance
between the competing objectives, which are:

Safety of investment

Stable current returns

Appreciation in capital value

Liquidity

Tax planning

Minimizing Risk

Diversification

Return .0502 .0492 .0420 .0487 .0734

It can be observed that the IDBI Federal Life Insurance Company being the newest entrant has
the highest return in comparison to other companies. It is possible only due to efficient Portfolio
Management. The company has been successful in allocating the right number of funds to the
right industry based on the risk and return of every industry. Therefore, it can be concluded that
IDBI Federal Life Insurance Company is worthy to invest in.
OBSERVATIONS
After interacting with several people during the project while selling policies to some of them
following points came to light:

1. Lack of awareness about the products.

Even though the number of asset management companies and insurance companies along with
investment schemes available has been increasing, it was seen that still many people dont know
about mutual funds or ULIP plans in Insurance. People were found to be knowledgeable about
the post office schemes and other traditional investment products, but not much about the modern
plans of investment.

2. Conservative attitude
Conservative attitude of the investors puts up a restriction on investments in mutual funds and life
Insurance. It was seen that investors have some misconceptions regarding the products. People
think that mutual funds are very risky and life insurance has some hidden costs involved. So, they
invest in government bonds and fixed deposits.

3. Tax benefit

Out of the various cases handled it was seen that many people invest just to save tax under section
80 C. They were not very picky in choosing the products for investment, there main objective was
to get tax benefit. Even after investing they are not very concerned about it. So, its easy to pitch
tax savings products to people in the months of February and March.

4. Peer pressure
It was found that some people are very dogmatic and they want to invest just because of peer
pressure. Even if the product is not matching his requirements he wants this product in his
portfolio just because his friend or family has that product

5. Brand name

It takes years to make a big brand in the market. HDFC gave good returns over a period
consistently and has occupied a position of trust in the minds of individual. Once a company has
a brand name, its products then sells like Hot cakes. The more the trust, the easier it is for
companies to collect higher revenues. Lack of Brand Awareness IDBI Federal Life Insurance
Company. The Biggest factor hindering successful growth of IDBI Federal Life Insurance is the
lack of awareness among the target customers and the consequent lack of trust when it comes to
investing money in view of other more reliable options like LIC, ICICI Prudential etc. In spite of
most insurance companies having similar plans, people prefer to go for reliability over
profitability.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There is a great future of the life insurance sector in India as 80% of the Indian population
is still without life cover and people are just now coming in response to the awareness
campaigns being carried out by almost all the insurance companies.


The company should concentrate more on advertising and promotion.


They can hold contests with the distributors and should advertise these contests.


Regular print advertisements should come in the major dailies of the country, since per
our survey print media is the most popular instrument for the promotion and advertising
of mutual funds.


Digital marketing and especially insurance marketing strategy should include an
integrated solution for web presence to serve both goals - retaining customers that are
pickier than ever in the competitive marketplace and acquiring new customers that now
have all the freedom to go online and compare every insurance offer.

CONCLUSIONS
Here I conclude that the summer internship program, done in IDBI FEDERAL Life Insurance
company, for partial fulfilment of the MBA program in Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of
Management has been completed successfully.

Following are the achievements done during the summer internship from 3rd April, 2017 to 3rd
June, 2017:

a. Sales done by me during the time have done great business to the company.

b. I was one of the Sales generators with generated sales of more than 1,00,000.
c. The experience gained during the internship has sharpened my marketing and
negotiable skills and given me a great on the field experience.
