Fluctuations in market interest rate bring in volatility in value of assets in the
portfolio of this plan. Surrender of policies after erosion in portfolio value affects
the interests of continuing policyholders. To avoid this, Market Value Reduction
(MVR) will be applied on surrender, if required.
The Market Value Factor (MVR) factor is given by the formula as under,
MVR = 1 – Market value / Book Value
