Top up showed a large gain in a few months

In June, we write to our investment-linked policies to top up their investments, as the stockmarket had corrected by about 10 percent.

Many policyholders responded to our advice. They have made a return of 5% to 10% during the past few months. Those who top-up earlier had a bigger gain, compared to those who acted later. In many cases, the amount of the top-up was more than their initial investment.

Here are some examples:
