TATA to Buy AIG in life insurance JV

There is the biggest news in insurance sector. TATA is to buy AIG in life insurance JV. Tata has planned to buy out AIG which is US insurer from the life JV, TATA AIG Life insurance. We have already published an analysis of life insurance industry in the comparison of AIG. According to our analysis AIG is facing crisis in the USA. About the loss of AIG we write in our previous post, banking and insurance sector loss,

“AIG’s loss amounts to 92 per cent of the $67.4 billion that Americans spent at world’s largest retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday season. It would take a person spending $1 million per day, everyday, the next 169 years to spend as much money as AIG lost during the fourth quarter, which lasted just 92 days.”

About the deal ET writes,

“Initially, there were indications that AIG would sell its Asian life insurance business. Earlier this year, US’ Metlife, UK’s Prudential and French insurer Axa had shown interest in buying parts of AIG’s life insurance business. But this could have caused regulatory problems in India, as all three multinationals have a presence here through JVs.”

It means not only TATA but also there are many insurance companies who are trying to take a chance to buy some share of AIG.

There is another thing which has made TATA to buy AIG that is global economic slowdown. These days AIG is suffered from huge loss in the USA. You should know that the USA government has bought maximum shares of AIG to get from crisis but still the insurance company facing more problems to survive globally.

Another thing which is also most important, US government has decided to sell shares by its Asian business under AIA. You should know that AIA is an arm of AIG, a public offer.

TATA spokesperson doesn’t want to comment at all on this situation, “We do not wish to comment on such speculation.” It is the truth that AIG was able to infuse money into the Indian life insurance JV despite of, crisis.

AIG plans to invest in non-life business also that could be strong position for that company. TATA is still in confusion to choose it’s a reliable partner.

Jivan Anand Life Insurance Policy from LIC and My Experience

I have already told you in my previous post about my experience with corporate health insurance. Now, I want to share my own life insurance experience to you. I am 24 years old still I was not insured. Once day, I met with my teacher friend. We were talking with some different topic. Suddenly, we come to the insurance topic. He asked me about my life insurance. I told him that I don’t think about insurance and have not thought over the insurance policy.

Now, he was serious. He begins arguments with me about insurance. He gives one suitable argument that no car and motor bike run on road without insurance then you do you not think about your life insurance? “We also run on road every day then why should we don’t feel about our life insurance?”

After that logic I had no space for arguments. That time I decided to be an insured person. He was an insurance agent actually. That is why he wanted to make me insure. In spite of some reality was there. I asked him to tell me about best policy. He was my friend so he suggested for Jivan Anand Life Insurance of LIC.

He told me that JEEVAN ANAND is unique combination of ’’Whole Life’’ and ’’Endowment’’ policy. By this policy I was able to get an insurance of whole life without paying policy amount.

He told me that if you get a policy of Rs. 1 lakh then you have to pay only premium of Rs. one lakh. After that you will get endowment at the end of the selected term or on end of your life.

He told me about premium also that you are able to pay in term of yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly. I saw an advertisement also nearly about Jivan Anand policy that if you take the policy then your life will be “ANAND HI ANAND”.

Now, I want to ask that let me know Jivan Anand is right for me or is there any other policy which is better for me?
