Benefits of Bharti AXA Wealth Maximizer Plan

Bharti AXA Wealth Maximizer Plan is one of the best investment options that provide you with the following benefits:

• Death Benefit: If the insured person passes away during the policy term, the Death Benefit will be paid to the nominee or policyholder, depending on the Policy's status. The benefit is the higher of:

  • The Sum Assured minus any partial withdrawals made within the two years before the insured's death.

  • The Policy Fund Value at the time of intimation of death.

  • 105% of all premiums paid until the date of death. The Sum Assured is 10 times the Annualized Premium.

• Maturity Benefit: Upon maturity, you will receive the Maturity Benefit, equal to the Policy Fund Value.

• Settlement Option: At maturity, choose to receive the Policy Fund Value as:

  • Lump sum payment.

  • Regular intervals during a Settlement Period, not exceeding five years.

  • A combination of both.

• Loyalty Addition: Annually, Loyalty Additions of 0.2% of the Policy Fund Value are credited, starting from the year following the Premium Payment Term until maturity. These additions are allocated across Investment Funds proportionally.

• Accessing Funds through Partial Withdrawals: You have the flexibility to withdraw a portion of your funds from the Policy Fund Value after the Lock-In Period. 

• Free Withdrawals: You can make multiple partial withdrawals within a Policy Year without incurring charges, within the specified withdrawal limits.

• Systematic Withdrawal Benefit (SWB): You can opt for automated partial withdrawals with SWB for added convenience:

  • Automated Withdrawals: A predetermined amount is withdrawn annually from your Policy Fund Value and disbursed to you until the end of the Policy Term.

  • Customization: Specify the annual withdrawal amount, starting policy year, and receive funds annually.

• Asset Allocation Control: Switch between equity and debt funds based on your risk preferences. For instance, move funds to lower-risk investments before maturity to mitigate market fluctuations.

• Fund Switching Flexibility: Make unlimited switches annually at no extra cost, ensuring each allocated fund maintains a minimum of 5% of the Fund Value at allocation.

• Premium Redirection: Redirect premiums to different funds while ensuring each fund receives a minimum investment of 5% of the premium amount.

• Additional Protection with Riders: Enhance your coverage by opting for additional riders, such as the Bharti AXA Life Linked Complete Shield Rider, by paying extra premiums along with your Bharti AXA Life Wealth Maximizer policy.

Portfolio Management Strategies

Bharti AXA Wealth Maximizer plan offers two main portfolio management strategies:

• Dynamic Fund Allocation (DFA): This strategy involves automatically adjusting the investment mix across different fund options based on market conditions. The plan uses a predefined set of rules to determine the allocation percentages for each fund. This approach aims to potentially reduce risk by shifting investments towards less volatile options during market downturns and vice versa.

• Systematic Transfer Plan (STP): This strategy involves periodically transferring a fixed amount from one fund option to another. This allows for disciplined investing and potentially averaging out the cost of units over time. You can choose the source and target funds, as well as the transfer frequency, to align with your risk tolerance and investment goals.
