1 Finance Score (High - Low)

What is 1 Finance Score?
The 1 Finance Score is a weighted average based on financial ratios, product features, price, claims experience and brand existence. Each main parameter is further divided into sub-parameters with designated weights. All funds receive a rating on a scale from 0 to 100. This methodology eliminates subpar choices, thereby facilitating improved decision-making and the assessment of existing policy evaluation.
Scoring Parameters
Our scoring model utilises algorithms to evaluate various aspects of term insurance plans based on different parameters. It then assigns a score to each plan to gauge its overall value.

We've considered the options available for payment modes i.e, Regular, Limited and Single Pay. The greater the number of payment options offered, the greater the flexibility afforded.

We've considered premium payment flexibility when scoring your term insurance policy. The more the number of payment frequency, the better it is in terms of flexibility provided. Frequency considered for premium payment - Annual, Half-yearly, Quarterly, Monthly.

We've looked at the policy's maximum maturity age, considering the longest term available, as we understand the varied needs and preferences of users.

We have assumed a higher maximum maturity age means you'll receive a higher score.
