Beyond mutual funds

A portfolio isn't a plan
until it's protected.

Mutual funds build wealth. Insurance stops one bad year destroying it, and fixed deposits hold the money you can't afford to see fall. Most people need all three, in that order of urgency.

First, the order

What we'd actually do first

If you have dependants and no term cover, buying a SIP is the second-best use of your next ₹5,000. We'll say so, even though the SIP is the thing we're better known for.

1

Protect the income

Term life if anyone depends on you. Health cover for the whole family. These are cheap, boring, and the reason a plan survives contact with reality.

2

Build the buffer

Three to six months of expenses somewhere stable and reachable. Fixed deposits, liquid funds, or a mix.

3

Then invest for goals

Mutual funds, mapped to specific goals with specific dates. This is where the compounding happens — but only if the first two steps hold.

Insurance

Cover that actually pays out

Bought for the right reason, at the right sum assured, from an insurer with a settlement record worth having. Not bundled into an investment.

🛡️

Term life insurance

Pure protection, no investment component, no maturity value. The cheapest way by a wide margin to make sure your family is fine if you aren't there. Typically 10–15× your annual income, until your dependants are independent.

🏥

Health insurance

A family floater sized for the hospitals you'd actually use, plus a super top-up for the large claims. Employer cover alone is a bad plan — it disappears the day you change jobs, which is often the day you need it.

🚗

General insurance

Motor, home and travel. Low-drama products where the only things that matter are the claim process and not being under-insured on the sum insured.

Get your actual number

A term premium quoted for someone else is useless to you.

Premiums move a lot with age, health, smoking status, term and sum assured. Tell us those and we'll come back with real quotes from the insurers on the panel — with the actual claim settlement records next to them.

What we'll send you.
Quotes from multiple insurers for the same sum assured and term, so they're actually comparable · Each insurer's most recent claim settlement ratio · What the riders cost and whether they're worth it · The medical and documentation process.

All cover is subject to the insurer's underwriting. Premiums shown in any quote are indicative until the proposal is accepted.

How insurance works here, and who you're dealing with. Niveshmart's AMFI registration covers mutual fund distribution only. Insurance is solicited separately and in a different capacity: the proprietor is an IRDAI-certified Point of Sales Person (POS code ) appointed by (), a composite insurance broker registered with IRDAI under Registration No. , code , valid .

We do not underwrite risk and we do not act as an insurer. We solicit and service only those products that IRDAI has approved as POS products and that the broker's insurer partners have tied up for. Insurance is a subject matter of solicitation.
Loan against mutual funds

Borrow against your portfolio
instead of breaking it

A short-term need doesn't have to cost you your compounding. Pledge your mutual fund units, draw a credit line against them, and leave the investment running.

Units are lien-marked with the registrar — they stay yours, stay invested, and keep growing. You pay interest only on what you actually draw, not on the sanctioned limit.

Typically far cheaper than a personal loan, and it avoids the two hidden costs of redeeming: capital gains tax, and the compounding you never get back.

Before you consider it

  • Good for genuinely short-term needs with a clear repayment plan
  • Cheaper than a personal loan or a credit card revolve
  • No capital gains crystallised, no exit load
  • Your SIPs continue running throughout
  • Not free money — interest accrues from the day you draw
  • If markets fall sharply the lender can call for more collateral
  • Never borrow against long-term goal money to fund lifestyle

Loans are provided by our lending partner , not by Niveshmart. Sanction, interest rate and eligibility are entirely at the lender's discretion and subject to their terms. Credit facilities are secured against your mutual fund units; failure to repay can result in those units being liquidated by the lender.

Fixed income

Fixed deposits and bonds

For the part of your money that must not fall. Corporate FDs typically pay more than a bank deposit — and carry more risk, which is exactly the thing to understand before you commit.

What we can arrange

  • Corporate fixed deposits — AAA and AA rated NBFC and manufacturing company deposits, typically 1–5 year tenures
  • Bank fixed deposits — including senior citizen rates and tax-saver 5-year deposits
  • Bonds and NCDs — listed corporate bonds, government securities and capital gains bonds
  • Laddering — splitting across tenures so something matures each year instead of everything at once

Cumulative or payout options, with the interest-income tax treatment explained before you decide — because for many people that changes which option wins.

The honest version

A corporate FD paying 2% more than your bank is not free money. You are being paid for taking the credit risk of that company. Ratings help, but they are an opinion, not a guarantee — and they get downgraded.

So we'd say: keep genuinely critical money in bank deposits, spread corporate FDs across issuers rather than chasing the highest single rate, and never put an emergency fund somewhere with a lock-in.

Interest is taxed at your slab rate. For anyone in the 30% bracket, a debt mutual fund is often worth comparing before you commit.

Company deposits are not bank deposits. They are not covered by DICGC deposit insurance. Repayment depends entirely on the financial position of the issuing company. Credit ratings are opinions of the rating agency, can be revised, and are not a guarantee of repayment. Please read the offer document before investing.
Why bother consolidating

One place beats five relationships

Most families end up with a mutual fund person, an insurance agent from a cousin's friend, an FD at whichever bank had a poster up, and no single view of any of it.

Nobody is looking at whether the term cover is enough, whether the FD is doing a job the debt allocation already does, or whether the same goal is being funded twice.

What a consolidated review looks at

  • Whether your life cover matches your actual liabilities
  • Whether health cover is enough for the city you live in
  • Whether your fixed income and debt funds are duplicating each other
  • Which goals have no money assigned to them at all
  • What the whole picture costs you in fees and tax
