Presenting one of its kind insurance plans that not only provides life cover but also balances risk and reward in a transparent manner, and provides you an opportunity to enjoy growth while retaining protection - ING Market Shield Plan - a Unit linked Life Insurance Plan that ensures you never miss an opportunity to maximize your gains and at the same time, limits your losses.

The key and unique benets of this plan are:


Enjoy better returns with equity participation Anytime guarantee* for all benets and not just at maturity
* 80% of the Highest Daily NAV

Protect your investments from market downside Multiple options to customise the plan to your need

As seen in the graph above, ING Market Shield - a Unit Linked Insurance plan dynamically allocates the investment in risky assets (equity) and safe assets (money market investments) to provide you with growth when markets are stable and protects the achieved growth from when markets are volatile.

Why invest in ING Market Shield, a Unit Linked Insurance Plan? 1. Optimizing upside potential due to Equity Participation This plan provides you with the growth potential that comes from investing in Equity markets. ING Life on every day basis will monitor the equity market development and increase allocation to the equity market (up to a maximum of 60%) when times are good and will reduce (up to 0%) allocation to equities when markets are volatile. This active daily asset allocation ensures that your gains are maximised and at the same time protecting such gains from eroding.

2. Anytime Guarantee - Protection that is available to you at all times and not just at maturity Not only will this plan invest in equity and bring you the gains from the markets, it will also ensure that gains that are made are lockedin with a minimum 80% assurance. Every time the NAV of the Guaranteed NAV Fund hits a new high, 80% of that NAV per unit is guaranteed (referred as Guaranteed NAV or G-NAV). From there on, irrespective of the volatility in the market you are assured of the G-NAV per unit at all times and not just at maturity. ING will reset this G-NAV on a daily basis and once the G-NAV is set it can go up and never go down.

The below graph explains that in a rising market when the Daily NAV is higher the customer gets the maturity benets at the Daily NAV. For example, if the Daily NAV on maturity is at 38 and the G-NAV is 30.4, you are still assured of receiving the maturity benets at the Daily NAV of 38. ING manages the Guaranteed NAV fund through a dynamic asset allocation process which ensures that your guarantee is available to you at all times and all benets paid to you are at higher of the prevailing NAV (referred to as Daily NAV) or the last Guaranteed NAV.

3. Protects your savings from the uncertainties of the market ING Market Shield - a Unit Linked Insurance Plan weathers all market conditions. As long as the markets are going up you will continue to participate in that growth, but in case the markets fall and the Daily NAV goes below your last Guaranteed NAV, you do not need to worry as you are still assured of the value based on the last Guaranteed NAV.

4. Limited Premium Payment Term We understand that you need to make a careful commitment when you are planning your investments and therefore this plan comes with a variety of Premium Paying Terms. You can choose to make premium contributions for just 5 years or 10 years while your plan continues for the full duration as selected by you. Alternatively, you can choose to make premium payments throughout the policy term by choosing a regular pay option. We urge you to make a careful decision, as once you make a commitment it is important to keep it, else you may not reap the desired objective of buying this plan.

The above graph explains that in a falling market if the Daily NAV is lower than the Guaranteed NAV, the customer gets the maturity benets at the Guaranteed NAV. For example the Daily NAV is at its highest at 42 and if on the date of maturity the Daily NAV falls to 30, you are still assured of receiving the maturity benets at the G-NAV of 33.60 which is 80% of the highest NAV of the Fund.

Enjoy better returns with equity participation; Secure your investments throughout the term and not just on maturity.

Other Key Benets: 1. Death Benet In case of unfortunate demise of the Life Assured during the policy term, the nominee shall receive higher of the Sum Assured or 105% of the premiums paid, including Top-up premiums (if any), (reduced by partial withdrawals if any made during the 2 years immediately preceding the date of death) or Special Fund Value and the policy shall stand terminated. Even in this the case of death, the nominee will get the benet of guarantee as the Special Fund Value will be calculated based on the higher of the Daily NAV or the G-NAV. Note: The Sum Assured is the Basic Sum Assured and the Additional Sum Assured on Top-up premium (if any). 2. Maturity Benet On the Maturity Date you will receive the Special Fund Value as a lumpsum. The Special Fund Value would be calculated based on the higher of the Daily NAV or the G-NAV. 3. Option to add Top-ups At any point of time if you wish to increase your contribution, you can pay Top-up premiums to invest in the same policy, subject to the following conditions: The minimum Top-up amount is ` 5,000 and the maximum is ` 8 lacs.

Every Top-up premium shall have an Additional Sum Assured which will be 1.25 times of the Top-up premium paid. This Additional Sum Assured on Top-up will be in addition to the Basic Sum Assured.

Top-up premium cannot be withdrawn in a period of ve years from the date of receipt of the respective Top-up premium. The maximum amount of Top-up premiums allowable shall be subject to applicable underwriting guidelines. The applicable G-NAV on Top-up Premium shall be the G-NAV declared from the date following the date of receipt of Top-up premium(s). 4. Liquidity in the form of Partial Withdrawal Benet In case of any interim nancial goal or emergencies you are offered the liquidity to withdraw from your fund at any point of time after completion of 5 Policy Years. The Partial Withdrawals are subject to the following conditions: Partial Withdrawal is available for a minimum amount of ` 5,000 and a maximum amount equal to 25% of balance in the Special Fund Value, subject to Special Fund Value after each such withdrawal not being less than 1.5 times the one full years annual regular/limited premium.

At maturity, the Special Fund Value will be paid to the policyholder as a lumpsum. Note: The objective of a life insurance is long-term nancial security.

5. Surrender Benet The importance of availability of cash in some emergencies cannot be denied, therefore, we provide you with a facility to surrender the policy during the policy term. In case the policy is surrendered during the initial 5 years from the Policy Commencement, the Surrender Benets shall be payable to the policyholder only after completion of 5 full policy years. On surrender after 5 years, the Special Fund Value is paid immediately and the policy is terminated. The Surrender Value would be calculated on the higher of the Daily NAV or the G-NAV. For details please refer to Clause 7 of the Terms and Conditions on policy discontinuance provisions mentioned herein. How does the Plan Work? 1. Choose the premium amount that you wish to invest in the plan every year which shall determine the Sum Assured under the policy.

In case you fail to pay your due premiums on time or during grace period, you shall be given a period of 45 days from the end of grace period to restore the policy in accordance with the IRDA regulations, failing which the policy shall stand terminated. Therefore we urge you to pay your premiums on time to achieve your long-term objectives for taking this policy. How does the Guaranteed NAV (G-NAV) Fund work? The G-NAV Fund aims to provide the policyholders the protection of 80% of the highest NAV achieved during the life of the policy. A dynamic asset allocation process is used to allocate the funds exposure between Risky Assets (Equities) and Risk Free Assets (Money Market Instruments and Cash). In general.

In good market conditions the G-NAV Fund exposure to equities will increase. In bad market conditions the G-NAV Fund will increase its exposure to Money Market Instruments and Cash and reduce the exposure to equities until the markets improve. The G-NAV Fund allows the investor to capture the upsides from rising markets while limiting potential losses in falling markets.
In case of exceptional circumstances, the equity exposure of the Fund may fall to zero, in which period we will not charge any Guarantee Charge.
