ABSTRACT

In today’s competitive world I find that insurance sector has the maximum

growth and potential as compare to the other sector. Insurance has the

maximum growth rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-15

% growth rate. This growth potential attracts us to enter in the sector and

MAX NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE gave me the opportunity to work and get

experience in highly competitive and enhancing sector.

The success story of good market share of different

organizations depends upon the availability of the product

and services near to the customer, which can be distributed

through a distribution channel and insurance sector,

distribution channel includes only agents or agency holders

of the company. If a company like MNYL, BA, TATA AIG etc

has adequate agents in the market they can capture big

market as compared to the other companies.

Agents are best way for a company of insurance sector

through which policies and benefits of a company can be

explained to the customer.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT INSURANCE SECTOR

Insurance sector is an opportunity for India.

Page 7: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

This business is growing at the rate of 18-22 per cent annually.

Presently it covers market of RS.450 billion.

Together with banking sector it contributes about 7% to GDP.

Gross premium collection is about 2% of GDP.

Still 80% of Indian population is without life insurance.

This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is

immense.

Insurance sector contribute a lot in economic development.

It provides long term fund for infrastructure development.

It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require

investments of the order of one trillion US dollar.

The Insurance sector, to some extent, can enable investments in

infrastructure development to sustain economic growth of the country.

There are two legislations that govern the sector-

The Insurance Act- 1938 The IRDA Act- 1999.

Important milestones in the life insurance business in

India:

Page 8: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

Present Scenario

1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life insurance business.

1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central government and nationalised. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC Act 1956- with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crores from the Government of India.

Page 9: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

The Government of India liberalised the insurance sector in March 2000 with

the passage of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)

Bill, lifting all entry restrictions for private players and allowing foreign

players to enter the market with some limits on direct foreign ownership.

Under the current guidelines, there is a 26 percent equity cap for foreign

partners in an insurance company. There is a proposal to increase this limit

to 49 percent.

The opening up of the sector is likely to lead to greater spread and

deepening of insurance in India and this may also include restructuring and

revitalizing of the public sector companies. In the private sector 15 life

insurance companies have been registered. A host of private Insurance

companies operating in life segments have started selling their insurance

policies since 2001. Table shows the current market players in the life

Life Insurance Market Growth

The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that was

only tapped by the state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The

penetration of life insurance products was 22 percent of the total 400 million

of the insurable population. Most customers were under- insured with no

flexibility or transparency in the products. With the entry of the private

insurers the rules of the game have changed.

Life insurance business in terms of first year premium has shown a growth of

more than 95% over the previous year and non life, or general insurance, is

not far behind either, growing at 22% during 2006-07.The 15 private insurers

in the life insurance market have already grabbed nearly 24 percent of the

market in terms of premium income. The new business premium of the 15

private players has tripled over last year. Meanwhile, state owned LIC's new

premium business has fallen. Figure shows comparison between premiums

being collected by private and public limited players in year 2006 and 2007.

Innovative products, smart marketing and aggressive distribution. That's the

triple whammy combination that has enabled fledgling private insurance

companies to sign up Indian customers faster than anyone ever expected.

Indians, who have always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now

suddenly turning to the private sector and snapping up the new innovative

products on offer.

The growing popularity of the private insurers shows in other ways. They are

coining money in new niches that they have introduced. The state owned

companies still dominate segments like endowments and money back

policies. But in the annuity or pension products business, the private insurers

have already wrested over 33 percent of the market. And in the popular unit-

linked insurance schemes they have a virtual monopoly, with over 90

percent of the customers.

Page 12: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways- they are

persuading people to take out bigger policies. For instance, the average size

of a life insurance policy before privatisation was around Rs 50,000. That has

risen to about Rs 80,000. But a rejuvenated LIC is also trying to fight back to

persuade new customers.

Company History 0f NEW YORK LIFE COMPANY

New York Life Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States and the world. Ranked as a Fortune 100 company, New York Life has provided its policyholders with financial security and investment opportunities since 1841. As a mutual company, New York Life is owned solely by its policyholders, to whom it pays annual dividends and provides long-term coverage on a wide range of insurance products. The company prospered during its first 100 years of operations, as the growth of the nation's population and economy created an expanding market for life insurance. Since World War II New York Life has maintained its competitive edge by diversification.

Building the Business: 1840s-50s

In 1840 New York State passed a law allowing a married woman to insure her husband's life with immunity from having the benefits seized by his creditors. Such legislation recognized the use of life insurance in a developing industrial economy and widened its potential market beyond wealthy speculators.

Page 15: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

New York Life has its origins in a charter granted by the New York state legislature to Nautilus Insurance Company in 1841, for the sale of fire and marine insurance. The company began issuing policies in April 1845 and soon decided to jettison its fire and marine business in order to concentrate on life insurance. By 1849 the company was so securely established in this new business that it petitioned the state legislature and had its name changed to New-York Life Insurance Company.

Civil War Risks and Postwar Expansion: 1860s-90s

The Civil War presented the company with its first major crisis, since it had developed a sizable southern business. President Abraham Lincoln's prohibition of commerce with the Confederate states during the war cut off communication between the home office and its southern policyholders, creating a host of problems, including lapsed payments and unpaid claims. The company compensated for these losses, however, by issuing policies to soldiers and civilians involved in combat. One of the few companies to take on such war risks, New-York Life managed continued growth despite its southern losses. In fact, the company sold more than half of the 6,500 new life insurance policies issued in New York City in 1862.

After the war, New-York Life expanded quickly with the nation's booming economy. The company recovered its southern business by paying benefits on death claims left unsettled during the war and by allowing former customers to renew their lapsed policies. New-York Life also became an international name during this era, opening offices in Canada in 1868, Great Britain in 1870, Paris in 1884, Berlin in 1885, Vienna in 1887, Amsterdam in 1891, and Budapest in 1894. by 1900 its growth in sales made it one of the nation's three biggest mutual insurance companies, along with Mutual Life Insurance Company and Equitable Life Assurance Society.

World Conditions Creating Volatile Environment: 1900s-40s

New-York Life prepared early for World War I, selling securities and borrowing in order to increase cash reserves and meet wartime obligations. During the war the company also issued war-risk policies. The war's greatest challenges came in its aftershocks. The worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919 hit the United States with unexpected ferocity: death claims resulted in a $10 million loss for the company, almost twice the cost of benefits paid during the war.

Page 16: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

During the Russian Revolution of 1917 the company's assets in Moscow were seized. Soon after, New York Life began its withdrawal from Europe, a reaction to unfriendly regulation and a volatile world economy.

Industry on the Rise: 1950s-70s

Recognizing the need for housing in the postwar nation, New York Life began moving its assets out of wartime government securities and into real estate development in the late 1940s. The company established a mortgage-loan program for veterans in 1946 and also invested in residential housing developments in Queens and Manhattan and in Chicago and Princeton, New Jersey, during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1969 it established the Nautilus Realty Corporation to handle its commercial and residential real estate operations, which proved to be of increasing importance as inflation in the 1970s and 1980s made other investments less desirable.

In the 1960s New York Life introduced the family insurance plan, a policy of comprehensive family coverage. When economic recession and inflation caused the lapse rate on new policies to increase in the early 1970s, the company created an insurance conservation office to study ways of better serving--and thus keeping--customers. 

Diversification Prompted by Industry Downturn: 1980s

Another major growth area for New York Life during the 1980s was healthcare. The spiraling cost of medical care in the 1970s and 1980s strengthened the appeal of insurance as a security against long-term illness. In 1987 New York Life purchased controlling interest in Sanus Corporation Health Systems, one of the largest healthcare companies in the nation. At the time, New York Life's greatest concern in the healthcare field was AIDS. 

Diversification into real estate development, mutual funds, partnership investments, annuities and pensions, and healthcare preserved New York Life's market position, and it entered the 1990s ready to take advantage of expanding demand for these new products.

Reacting to the Changing Marketplaces: 1990s

New York Life reorganized its management structure in 1992. A team of specialists from areas such as service, legal, marketing, and actuarial led by a product manager could move new offerings through the pipeline and out into the market more quickly than in the past. In 1993, New York Life rolled

Page 17: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

out a variable annuity policy and in 1994 its first variable universal life policy. To tap into a market of more conservative investors, the company began selling a variable annuity product through the banking system in 1995. New York Life sold its NYL Care Health Plans subsidiary in 1998

Preparing for the Future: 2000 and Beyond

The creation of New York Life Investment Management LLC, in 2000, brought all of the company's $115 billion in assets under management into one subsidiary. New York Life followed a trend in the insurance industry--distancing the financial products from traditional insurance products--intended to improve competitive strength

New York Life prepared for another venture in the finance end of business by seeking and receiving approval to operate a federally insured thrift, a move made possible by changes in federal regulations during the late 1990s. The company first planned to offer trusts and individual retirement accounts. The trust operation gave New York Life the ability to manage insurance money distributions, a capability it lacked to this point.

A matter related to its long dissolved European operation was finally resolved in 2001. New York Life settled claims by the survivors of ethnic Armenians killed by Turkish soldiers back in World War I. A 1999 class-action lawsuit led to legislation allowing Armenians living in California to pursue claims against insurers for unpaid benefits.

SECTION SIX

RECOMMENDATION

Max New York Life as an insurance firm has a very strong

presence in India and is rapidly expanding its operations in India. After

working on this project I feel that following are some of the ways in which the

company can improve the current market base and selection procedure for

AAs, the key revenue generating resource for the company:

Low awareness about MNYL brand in the mind of potential AAs.

Max New York Life insurance compensation package is considered to be quite good as per market standard. However the 15 days full time training programme is causing apprehension in minds of potential agents. A part time training alternative can also be considered.

Page 51: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

MNYL can provide some database collected from other sources to the new recruits at least in the first month.

The registration fee for IRDA training programme is higher than other private companies. MNYL should considered reducing the charge.

Initial fee for agents policy is too high so MNYL can considerer this.

SECTION SEVEN

CONCLUSION

Page 52: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

My Experience with MNYL will always be grateful for me. I learned many things in MNYL. The very first thing I learned in MNYL is to handle objections from the customers. Different type of scripts of MNYL helps in this.

Working on deadline for achieving target is most crucial process in this

sector and I am thankful to my sales Manager who were always behind me to

support during initial call and helps me to complete my training.

The GO meet to reward successful AA and SM for the month is another

example which clearly emphasizes that MNYL has strong belief in

maintaining a healthy relationship with their stakeholders.

Overall “Recruiting Agent Developing The Agency Channel ” was a fair

attempt from me. During the project I was able to make 200 names.

My telephonic conversation with the prospect always gave me a positive

direction to build my confidence and even in bad phase of response I learnt

the art of making calmness.

Page 53: 17599450 Project Report on Recuritment and Channel Development of Max Life Insurence

I shared a lot of activities with my colleagues. All the trainees from different

background also remained a source of energy for my daily activities.
