Quarterly rebalancing
Your fund allocation might get altered because of market movements. We will visit your allocations every quarter and reset it to prescribed limits.
Capital preservation on vesting
When policy nears the chosen vesting date, you need to ensure capital preservation so that short-term market volatility at the time of vesting does not impact your investments. In order to achieve this, your investments in Pension Flexi Growth will be systematically transferred to Pension Protector in 10 installments in the last 10 quarters of your policy.
