  1. Dear Rakesh, for 5Y period, you may go for a diversified Eq. fund like Quantum Long Term Eq. fund. Although 5Y term is not a long term in Eq. but still you may go ahead. Please be ready for the risk associated with Eq. investing.

    Thanks

    Thanks for responding FFC and Ashal.

    I came to Dubai for only one year assignment.I thought of saving some premium amount by enrolling online Term Insurance now rather waiting till Dec, 2013 (return to India).So I should present in India for enrolling online term insurance.

    I guess only option I have is continuing endowment insurances till Dec, 2013 and then enroll to term plan.

    From next month on wards will get RS 4000/- from rental property. Could you please suggest best fund to invest.My current MF folio consists of LargeCap, MultiCap and Mid-Small Cap Funds.

    Thanks,
    Sekhar.

  4. Dear Shekhar, please read my reply in addition to what dear FFC has already told you. As you are already out of India & as on date having NRI status, I’m sorry to say but purchasing Term plan from India is not easy. Online plans are strict no-no. Not many insurers ‘ll offer offline plans either.

    Please contact some insurers of your choice from India.

    My personal take ‘ll be to go for a term plan purchased from Dubai.

    Thanks

    Ashal

      1. Dear Shekar,

        Investing the 4K depends on your goals and when you need the money. Assuming it is for long term and it if for the same goal as your other investments, you can increase your exposure to large-cap funds as that seems on the lower side at present.

  5. You will have to sign the surrender forms yourself and send a letter of authorization along with bearer of the form.

    Health insurance has no nomination. Term policy nomination can be changed anytime, any number of times with different % to different nominees.

    Your funds are good. Your allocation to gold seems on the high side. specific proportions to equity and debt depends on the nature of the goal, time frame, and amount needed etc.

    btw what you want is porfolio restructuring. Rebalancing has a different meaning altogether which you can look up.
