INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
We are living in a
world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw
a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once
powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have
taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic
growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous
with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in
existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its
operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once
the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve
their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register
are no more !
There is another
megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from
West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years
to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and
the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later,
China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively.
By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block,
overtaking North America.
The years after the
outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain
fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial
years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed
down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in
agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment
as well as private consumption expenditure. Inflation remained at high
levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal
and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is
imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later.
This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood
opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent
of young people joining the job market every year.

BACKGROUND
The Company headquartered at Mumbai, had commenced operations on 19th March 2001, after receiving the license to transact life insurance business in India from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority („IRDA‟) on 31st January 2001. The license has been renewed annually and is in force as at 31st March 2013.
The Company is a joint venture between Aditya Birla Nuvo Limited, a Company of the Aditya Birla Group of India (74 percent) and Sun Life Financial (India) Insurance Investments Inc., subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (26 percent). This business spans across individual and group products and covers participating, non-participating and unit linked lines of businesses. Riders covering additional benefits are offered under these products. These products are distributed through individual agents, corporate agents, banks, brokers and other intermediaries across the country.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Macro-economic uncertainty and changing regulatory environment especially on the prod-uct front continued to impact the life insurance industry adversely leading to growth chal-lenges. Keeping this context, in view, the company recorded new business premium of Rs. 1,836 Crs in FY13 a decrease of 5% as against the Industry decline of 15%. In FY13, while Group business witnessed a growth of 17% in new business premium, individual life busi-ness de-grew by -16%.
Their business performance has been affected, to some degree, by a number of external fac-tors including regulatory uncertainty and general market conditions (high-interest/high-inflation) which has also impacted customer sentiments. Over the last 3 years, including the year under review, they have seen significant new regulations, which created challenges for them. FY13 again witnessed a slew of new regulations including new product regulations for Traditional products and revised unit-linked product regulations. Their rank amongst the private players for the period under review is 5th (Total Individual and Group) and they are po-sitioned 6th in Individual Life. Most of the players ahead of them are bank owned or have a significant bank tie-up
BUSINESS REVIEW
Industry Scenario
The external market environment has been difficult in the year under review especially for private players.

Top 7 companies (excluding LIC) have witnessed a decline in their market share over the years and in FY13 contributed to 29%of the Industry weighted new business for individual life as against 34% in FY11. Remaining 16 private players have been further marginalized and with contribution at around 9% of industry new business premium.

OUTLOOK FOR
THE INDUSTRY AND COMPANY
Since the introduction of significant regulatory changes, there has been a perceptible slow-down in the industry. However, this has given an opportunity to the existing insurance players to review their operating models to drive higher efficiencies and focus on more bal-anced growth objectives.
The Company continues to be optimistic on the future potential of the life insurance sector over the medium to long term. India has several structural advantages in terms of favorable demographics and high rate of financial savings. Greater certainty of regulation, improving macro-economic environment, increasing product offerings and evolving distribution chan-nels would further enhance growth and profitability.
The Company has identified the following key areas to strengthen its competitive and fi-nancial position in the coming years:
• Sales Growth though a balanced channel mix, optimal capacities and better distribution management
• Optimal product mix and diversified product portfolio
• Creating a differentiation in customer service and brand
• Focus on customer retention and improving quality of business

PRESS RELEASE
BIRLA SUN LIFE INSURANCE LAUNCHES NEW WHOLE LIFE PLAN – BSLI WEALTH
SECURE
The plan allows customers to secure their family’s future for an entire lifetime and maximize wealth with unique investment strategies
Mumbai, June, 2012: Birla Sun Life Insurance Company, a joint venture between the Aditya Birla Group, India’s leading transnational conglomerate and Sun Life Financial Inc, one of the leading international financial services organizations from Canada, has announced the launch of its new whole life plan, ‘BSLI Wealth Secure’. The plan enables customers to meet their financial goals according to their changing life stages with equity market participation, and also provides them financial security throughout their entire lives.
Niall O’Hare, Chief Actuarial Officer, Birla Sun Life Insurance, says, “With three investment options to choose from, the plan can meet the demands of the diverse investors. BSLI Wealth Secure plan combines long-term savings and whole life cover in such a way that it allows customers to focus on their goals and maximize savings for their future.” He adds, “With a built-in savings component, BSLI Wealth Secure plan can help accumulate sizable returns with every premium paid, owing to its long tenure and equity market participation.”
The plan enables a customer to fulfill his family’s dreams with prudent investments and also financially secure their future with a whole Life cover.
Many customers tend to stay away from the equity market opportunity due to lack of knowledge, thereby compromising on their long-term wealth creation goals. The company is positive that the product will induce many more customers to achieve a balanced growth on their investments while they benefit from advanced investment strategies and also a whole life cover.
The plan offers customers a choice to select the premium amount. Based on his/her current age and the premium amount that the customer opts for, the company will determine the life cover applicable on the policy. This is also the minimum Basic Sum Assured.
Key features of BSLI
Wealth Secure plan include –
Insurance cover for whole life.
Option to select from three investment strategies - Systematic Transfer Option, LifeCycle Option and Self-Managed Option.
Systematic Transfer Option mitigates the risk arising from the volatility in the equity market by averaging out a customer’s cost of purchase. This option allows customers to enter the equity market not at once, but slowly at different times and at different levels, thus reducing the overall risk to their portfolio.
LifeCycle Option is meant for individuals who want their investments to change according to their changing age and risk profile.
Self-Managed Option is meant for individuals who seek complete freedom and flexibility to manage their investments by allocating the premiums across investment funds of their choice in varying proportions. Self- managed Option gives customers access to BSLI’s well established suite of 13 investment funds with complete control on how to invest premiums, and the independence to switch from one investment fund to another.
Option of increasing life cover by up to 300% of the minimum Basic Sum Assured.
Advantage of enhanced financial security with BSLI Riders.
Flexibility to make partial withdrawals to meet any financial emergencies after completion of five policy years.
Additional boost to Fund Value in the form of Guaranteed Additions.
Payment of Sum Assured or fund value to the nominee, whichever is higher, in the unfortunate event of death of the Life Assured during the term of the policy.
Tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
