WEALTH MANAGEMENT
What is WEALTH?
Wealth measures the value of all the assets of worth
owned by a person, community, company or country.
‘Assets’ are a mix of various tangible and intangible
things that add economic value to any individual or
institution.
Wealth is expressed in a variety of ways. For individuals,
net worth is the most common expression of wealth,
while countries measure by gross domestic product
(GDP), or GDP per capita.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
What is Wealth Management?
The term Wealth Management refers to a professional
investment and advisory service that offers financial
planning, investment management and other types of
specialized financial advice.
Wealth management combines both financial planning and
specialized financial services, including personal retail
banking services, estate planning, legal and tax advice, and
investment management services.
The objective of wealth management is to sustain and grow
long-term wealth. It essentially means creation and
administration of wealth, to meet individual goals and the
goals of the family.

Financial Planning :
A financial plan is a comprehensive evaluation of an investor's
current and future financial state by using currently known
variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and
withdrawal plans.
A key aspect of financial planning is to ensure that one has
adequate money available to meet one’s financial goals at
various stages in life. Financial planning is the process of
meeting life goals through the proper management of finances.
Financial Planning is process of framing objectives, policies,
procedures, programs and budgets regarding the financial
activities of a concern. This ensures effective and adequate
financial and investment policies.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
The importance of Financial Planning can be outlined as :
1. It helps identify future financial requirements.
2. It helps set long and short-term life goals (Buying a house,
children’s education, travel & leisure, marriages, managing
risks etc.)
3. It makes easier to make financial decisions during
emergencies and unforeseen situations.
4. It helps avoid unnecessary expenditure.
5. It helps build a corpus for retirement years.

management, financial advisory, and planning disciplines
directly for the benefit of high-net-worth clients.
a wealth manager helps a client construct an entire investment
portfolio and advises on how to prepare for present and future
financial needs.
The planning function of wealth management often
incorporates tax planning around the investment portfolio, real
estate, risk management as well as philanthropy.
The investment portion of wealth management normally entails
both asset allocation of a whole portfolio as well as the
selection of individual investments.

Asset Class :
An Asset Class is a group of assets that exhibits similar
characteristics, behaves similarly in the marketplace
and is subject to the same laws and regulations.
Each asset class is expected to reflect different risk and
return investment characteristics, and performs
differently in any given market environment.
Financial advisors view investment vehicles as asset
class categories that are used for diversification
purposes.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION
Asset allocation is an investment function by which an
investor or a portfolio manager decides distribution of the
investible amount across various asset classes, thereby
attempting to balance risk and rewards, according to the risk
tolerance of the investor, his/her goals and the investment
time frame.
The three main asset classes - equities, fixed-income, and
cash and equivalents - have different levels of risk and return,
so each will behave differently over time.
Asset allocation is an important factor that determines the
returns from an investment portfolio.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
1. Strategic Asset Allocation : This method is the traditional
approach to building a portfolio. It establishes and
adheres to a "base policy mix" - a proportional
combination of assets based on expected rates of return
for each asset class. The approach is mostly long-term.
In strategic asset allocation, the target allocations depend
on a number of factors – such as the investor’s risk
tolerance, time horizon and investment objectives – and
may change over time as these parameters change.
The primary goal of strategic asset allocation is to create
an asset mix which will provide an optimum balance
between expected risks and returns for a long-term
investment.
Contd..
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
2. Constant-Weighting Asset Allocation : With this approach,
the portfolio is continually rebalanced according to the
shift in the value of assets, so as to avoid a drift from the
initially established policy mix.
Although similar to Strategic asset allocation, this is a
moderately active portfolio management strategy. The
strategy includes readjustment of portfolio in accordance
with performance of assets. Unlike strategic method
where yield required is constant and weights change
accordingly, here weight of assets remains the same
irrespective of the portfolio yield.
Contd..
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
3. Tactical Asset Allocation : Tactical asset allocation is an
investment style in which the three primary asset classes
(stocks, bonds and cash) are actively balanced and
adjusted with the intention of maximizing portfolio
returns and minimizing risk compared to a benchmark,
such as an index.
Sometimes it is necessary to occasionally engage in short-
term, tactical deviations from the mix to capitalize on
unusual or exceptional investment opportunities. Tactical
asset allocation is a dynamic investment strategy that
actively adjusts a portfolio's asset allocation. The goal of a
TAA strategy is to improve the risk-adjusted returns of
passive management investing.
Contd..
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
4. Dynamic Asset Allocation : Under this strategy, the investor
makes long-term investments in certain asset classes or
securities and periodically buys and sells those securities in
order to keep the allocations in their original proportions.
The mix of assets is constantly adjusted as markets rise and
fall, and as the economy strengthens or weakens.
DAA involves rebalancing a portfolio so as to bring the asset
mix back to its long-term target. Such rebalancing would
generally involve reducing positions in the best-performing
asset class, while adding to positions in underperforming
assets. The general premise of dynamic asset allocation is to
reduce the fluctuation risks and achieve returns that exceed
the target benchmark.
Contd..
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
5. Insured Asset Allocation : A base portfolio value is
established, under which the portfolio should not be
allowed to drop. As long as the portfolio achieves a return
above its base, you exercise active management to try to
increase the portfolio value as much as possible.
Insured asset allocation may be suitable for risk-averse
investors who desire a certain level of active portfolio
management but appreciate the security of establishing a
guaranteed floor below which the portfolio is not allowed
to decline.
Contd..
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
6. Integrated Asset Allocation : This factors in the risk
elements while establishing an asset mix. Integrated asset
allocation is a broader asset allocation strategy, albeit
allowing only either dynamic or constant-weighting
allocation.
IAA includes aspects of all strategies, accounting not only
for expectations but also actual changes in capital markets
and risk tolerance.

Ethical Principles in Wealth Management
Ethics in Wealth Management :
A wealth manager is a fiduciary to each and every client.
Wealth managers are expected to adhere to a code of
ethical behaviour while working in the best interests of the
client, and ensure confidentiality.
A relationship between a client and a financial advisor/
manager can last over a long term and can be mutually
fruitful, if it is based on the most essential factors of Trust,
Faith and Integrity.
Worldwide, corporations and associations of wealth
management companies have developed certain codes of
ethics which are universally accepted and applied.
Ethical Challenges in Wealth Management
Over the years, the financial services industry has suffered
from a serious dent in its image, owing to a variety of factors:
1. Misselling : Sometimes, performance and target pressures
on one hand, and the greed to earn lucrative incentives on
the other force advisors to push products which may not
be suitable to the client requirement or situation. This
ends in bitterness and disputes, thus damaging the
reputation and credibility of the industry as a whole.
2. Incompetence : Inability or unwillingness to study and
understand every client’s unique requirements and
expectations can lead to poor portfolio management and
further to client dissatisfaction.
Contd..
Ethical Challenges in Wealth Management
3. Lack of Transparency: Transactions and transfers without
adequate information to the client or without his/ her
consent, with the purpose of increasing the income to the
company.
4. Lack of Transparency : Keeping the client in the dark about
the status of the portfolio and the returns thereon.
5. Hidden Costs : Some companies have indulged in loading
charges and costs to the clients, which were not revealed
earlier, or were hidden in small print/ jargon.

Client Segmentation
Customer segmentation is one of the keys to wealth manager
profitability. Rigorous client segmentation is a critical
component of any successful wealth management program.
Client segmentation mapped to an accurate profiling process
can provide a powerful means for identifying the wealth
management needs of each target client segment and for
tailoring advice and solutions that meet those needs.
Segmentation can help wealth managers to:
✓ Optimise internal resource allocation.
✓ Successfully segment clients to enable efficient commercial
distribution of wealth management products and services.
✓ Drive client satisfaction, loyalty and profitability.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Client Segmentation
Bases for Client Segmentation :
The most common base for segmentation in Wealth
Management is the wealth size.
Clients are generally classified based on :
• Net worth
• Investible surplus
• Assets under advise
Only High Networth Individuals (HNWI/ HNI) are
approached by Wealth Managers and Investment Bankers.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Client Segmentation
In India the most common criteria applied is as below:
Annual Income over Rs. 10 to 50 Lacs : Mass Affluent
Annual Income over Rs. 50 Lacs: Affluent
Investible Surplus of Rs. 25 Lac to 2 Cr.: Emerging HNI
Investible Surplus of Rs. 2 Cr. and above : HNI
Investible Surplus of Rs. 10 Cr. and above : UHNI
The Mass Affluent and Affluent segments prefer financial
planning and services, while the HNI segments prefer wealth
management services.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Clients can also be segmented based on the basis of :
Structure :
• Individuals
• Families

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Personal wealth management follows three stages:
➢ Wealth Accumulation
➢ Wealth Preservation
➢ Wealth Transfer
Wealth Accumulation : This primarily involves accumulation
of money, property and other assets. One may be building a
business, buying a home, starting a family, or saving for
college and retirement.
The financial tools and strategies used as one builds and
manages wealth will change with the timeframe, risk
tolerance and overall financial picture.
This also is the time to lay the foundation for the next stages
of preserving and transferring wealth.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Wealth Preservation : This financial stage requires more
sophisticated financial planning that may require the
experienced guidance of a personal wealth services advisor. A
wealth preservation strategy can ensure that assets not only
grow over time but also provide a legacy for one's family.
Wealth preservation is based on the philosophy that it is more
important not to lose money than it is to make money.
Wealth can be preserved in two ways; you can grow net wealth
at a rate greater than inflation or you can ensure that wealth is
preserved by limiting the charges on wealth.
While risk is unavoidable and markets unpredictable, smart
investment strategies focus on investing in a variety of assets
that hedge inflation while giving optimal time for growth.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Wealth Transfer : The transfer of wealth is an important
component of every estate plan. A smooth, conflict-free,
hassle-free transfer of wealth from one generation to
another is a critical function of wealth management.
Smooth wealth transfer involves impeccable documentation,
legal requirements, tax implications and family
communication. A wealth manager has to ensure proper
handing-over the inheritance according to the intention and
will of the client.
"Succession Planning" is a process, and not an event. Even
when the formal Succession Plan is in place, it must be a
document reviewed and updated from time to time to reflect
changes in the marketplace, competitive conditions and the
health or capabilities of the current owners.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Private Banking :
Private banking is a term for banking, investment and
other financial services provided by banks to private
individuals investing in sizable assets.
Private banking is personalized financial and banking
services that are traditionally offered to a bank's
wealthy high net worth individual (HNWI) clients.
The term ‘private’ refers to the customer service being
rendered on a more personal basis than in mass-market
retail banking, usually via dedicated bank advisers.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Private Banking & Wealth Management :
Private banking and wealth management are terms that
overlap. However there are certain slight differences which
need to be understood.
Wealth management is a broader category that involves
dealing with the optimization of a client's portfolio, taking
into account his aversion to, or comfort with risk, and
investing assets according to his plans and financial goals.
Private banking typically refers to an envelope solution for
high-net-worth-individuals (HNWIs) wherein a public or
private financial institution employs staff members to offer
high-net-worth clients personalized care and management of
their finances.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Private Banking & Wealth Management :
Private banking does not always deal with investing clients'
assets. They may not necessarily be involved in the actual
process of investing in assets for the clients.
In contrast, Private banking provides investment-related
advice and aims to address the entire financial circumstances
of each client.
In comparison with Wealth management, Private banking
tends to be exclusive and is reserved for clients with
substantial amounts of cash and other assets to be deposited
into accounts and to be invested.
Family Office
“Wealth and wealth alone is important, in as much as
charity and desire depend upon wealth for their realisation"

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Family Office
Private wealth management advisory firms that serve ultra-
high-net-worth investors are known as ‘Family Offices’.
A family office performs centralized management or
oversight of investments, tax planning, estate planning, as
well as philanthropic planning, exclusively for an affluent
individual or family.
They are different from traditional wealth management
services as they offer a total outsourced solution to
managing all financial and investment decisions These
decisions include budgeting, insurance, charity, family-
owned businesses, taxation matters etc.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Family Office
The concept of Family Office originated in Europe in the 18th
century.
Family Office is utilized when assets grow in size and
complexity, demanding full-time professional management.
The world's most affluent families establish the Family Office
to ensure their wealth is well preserved for their heirs.
The scope of Family Office is significantly broader than a pure
investment advisory. It also facilitates the provision of other
value added services to provide a complete solution.
This ensures that a client has a single point contact for taking
care of wealth, family and administrative needs.

Financial Assets :
A financial asset is a tangible liquid asset that derives value
because of a contractual claim of what it represents.
Financial Assets could be in the form of money at hand, or
easily accessible, in the form of cash deposits, loans,
accounts receivable, and marketable securities (bonds,
notes, shares etc.).
To qualify as a financial asset, three important conditions
must be met. It must be:
✓ Something you can own
✓ Something of monetary value
✓ That monetary value is derived from a
contractual claim
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Types of Financial Assets :
1. Money Market Instruments : Money Market is part of
financial market where instruments with high liquidity
and very short term maturities are traded. Money
market consists of financial institutions and dealers in
money or credit who wish to produce liquidity. It is
better known as a place where large institutions and
government direct their short term cash needs.
a. Treasury Bills (T-Bills)
b. Repurchase Agreements
c. Commercial Papers
d. Certificate of Deposit
e. Banker’s Acceptance
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
MONEY MARKET INSTRUENTS
Treasury Bills (T-Bills) : Treasury Bills are one of the safest
money market instruments. These are short term borrowing
instruments of the Central Government of the Country
issued through the Central Bank (RBI in India).
They are risk free instruments and therefore the returns are
not so attractive.
T-Bills are available both in primary market as well as
secondary market. They are issued with three-month, six-
month and one-year maturity periods.
At present the Indian government issues three types of
treasury bills through auctions namely 91-day, 182-day and
364-day. There are no treasury bills issued by State
Governments. Treasury bills are accessible for a minimum
amount of Rs.25K and in its multiples.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
MONEY MARKET INSTRUENTS
Repurchase Agreements : These are called Repo or Reverse
Repo or short term loans in which two parties agree to sell and
repurchase the same security. They are usually used for
overnight borrowing. Repo/Reverse Repo dealings can be done
only between the parties approved by RBI and in RBI approved
securities viz. GOI and State Govt. Securities, T-Bills, PSU
Bonds, FI Bonds, Corporate Bonds etc.
Under repurchase contract the seller sells particular securities
with an agreement to repurchase the same at an equally
determined future date and price. Likewise the buyer
purchases the securities with an agreement to resell the same
to the seller on a decided date at a prearranged price.
Such a transaction is called a Repo when viewed from the
perspective of the seller of the securities and Reverse Repo
when viewed from the viewpoint of the buyer.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
MONEY MARKET INSTRUENTS
Commercial Papers : This is a low-cost alternative to bank
loans. It is a short term unsecured promissory note issued by
corporates and financial institutions at a discounted value on
face value.
They are generally issued with fixed maturity between one to
270 days and for financing of accounts receivables, inventories
and meeting short term liabilities.
Commercial Papers are issued by corporates to impart
flexibility in raising working capital resources at market
determined rates. Commercial Papers are actively traded in
the secondary market since they are issued in the form of
promissory notes and are freely moveable in demat form.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
MONEY MARKET INSTRUENTS
Certificate of Deposit: It is a short term borrowing more like a
bank term deposit account. It is a promissory note issued by a
bank in form of a certificate entitling the bearer to receive
interest. The official document bears the maturity date the
fixed rate of interest and the value. It can be issued in any
value. A CD restricts access to the funds for the buyer, until the
maturity date of the investment.
A CD is negotiable and equivalent to a promissory note. It is
either issued in demat form or in the form of a usance
promissory note.
The returns on certificates of deposit are higher than T-Bills
because it assumes higher level of risk. Returns can be based
on Annual (yearly) Percentage Yield (APY) or Annual
Percentage Rate (APR).
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
MONEY MARKET INSTRUENTS
Banker’s Acceptance: It is a small term credit investment
created by a non financial firm and guaranteed by a bank to
make payment. It is simply a bill of exchange drawn by a
person and accepted by a bank. The most common term for
these instruments is 90 days. However they can very from 30
days to 180 days.
It is a seller’s assurance to pay to the buyer a certain particular
amount at certain date. The same is guaranteed by the banker
of the seller in exchange for a claim on the goods as security.
For corporations it acts as a negotiable time draft for financing
imports, exports and other transactions in goods, and is highly
useful when the credit worthiness of the foreign trade party is
unknown.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Bonds: A bond is a debt investment in which an investor loans
money to an entity (typically corporate or governmental)
which borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a
variable or fixed interest rate.
Bonds provide the borrower with external funds to finance
long-term investments, or in the case of government bonds, to
finance current expenditure.
Bonds are often referred to as fixed-income securities because
the lender can anticipate the exact amount of cash they will
have received if a bond is held until maturity.
Governments (at all levels) and corporations commonly use
bonds in order to borrow money.

Mutual Funds
A Mutual Fund is a professionally managed trust, usually run by
an asset-management company, that pools the savings of a
number of investors who share a common financial goal.
It is essentially a diversified portfolio of financial instruments -
these could be equities, debentures/bonds or money market
instruments.
The income earned through these investments and the capital
appreciation realised are shared by its unit holders in
proportion to the number of units owned by them.
A Mutual Fund is a suitable investment for the common man as
it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally
managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Private Equity (P/E)Funds :
Private equity actually consists of individuals and firms that
invest directly into private firms or perform buyouts of public
firms with plans to take those firms private. The underlying
motivation for such investments is of course, the pursuit of
achieving a positive return on investment.
Most of the private equity industry is made up of large
institutional investors, such as pension funds, and large private
equity firms funded by a group of accredited investors.
P/E Funds pool money from a selective bunch of investor into
large fund that is utilised to acquire stakes in businesses.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Types of Private Equity (P/E)Funds :
"PE" is often associated with the funds trolling for mature,
revenue generating companies in need of some revitalization -
maybe even some tough choices - in order to become worth
much more.
Leveraged Buyout Funds : Typically acquire controlling stakes,
either alone or in partnership with other PE firms, of mature,
cash-flow-stable companies. To finance these transactions, they
use a combination of debt and equity capital.
The acquirer (PE firm) seeks to purchase the target with funds
acquired through the use of the target as a sort of collateral. In
essence, in a leveraged buyout, the acquiring PE firms are able
to purchase companies with only having to put up a fraction of
the purchase price.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Types of Private Equity (P/E)Funds :
Venture capital funds : Usually invest in minority stakes in
startup companies, often in high-growth sectors like internet
and consumer technology, bio-tech and healthcare technology,
and energy. VC funds rarely take controlling stakes.
Growth Equity funds invest in more mature businesses that are
looking to scale operations (organically or through M&A) and
enter new markets. They invest more broadly than VC funds in
terms of industries.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
The Fund of Funds – This may also be called a collective
investment or a multi-manager investment – simply holds a
portfolio of other investment funds instead of investing
directly in securities.
FoF is a mutual fund which invests in other mutual funds. Just
as a mutual fund invests in a number of different securities, a
fund of funds holds shares of many different mutual funds.
These funds were designed to achieve even greater
diversification than traditional mutual funds. On the
downside, expense fees on fund of funds are typically higher
than those on regular funds because they include part of the
expense fees charged by the underlying funds.
The fund of funds strategy can be applied to any type of
investment fund, from a mutual fund to a private equity fund.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Systematic Investment Plan
A systematic investment plan (SIP) is a plan where investors
make regular, equal payments into a mutual fund, trading
account or retirement account.
Investing via an SIP entails making regular investments
(generally) in smaller denominations as opposed to making
an one-time lump sum investment. The intention is to
capitalise on the volatility in equity markets by lowering the
average purchase cost.
SIP is a convenient way to accumulate wealth in a
disciplined manner over a long-term period. It helps the
small investor to invest regularly in small installments and
thereby build wealth over a period of time.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Benefits of SIP
1. Lowers the average purchase cost, and thus owers risks.
2. Induces disciplined investing
3. Lowers the burden on the investor
4. Makes market timing irrelevant
5. Convenient
6. Power of compounding
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Non-Financial Investments :
A non-financial asset is an asset with a physical value, such as
real estate, equipment, machinery, or a vehicle. A financial
asset, on the other hand, is an asset that has value based on a
contractual claim, rather than a physical net worth, such as
stocks, bonds and bank deposits.
Financial assets are generally easier to sell than non-financial
assets, because these assets trade on exchanges frequently.
A non-financial asset has a value based on its tangible
characteristics and properties.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Types of Non-Financial Investments :
Non-financial investments include long-term investment in
intangible assets, residential houses, other buildings and
structures, cultivated assets, technological machinery and
equipment, other fixed assets and inventory; as well as fixed
asset formation and the costs of unfinished construction and
capital repairs.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Types of Non-Financial Investments :
Real Estate : With the ever-increasing cost of land, real estate
has come up as a profitable investment proposition.
Real Estate includes all immovable properties such as land and
buildings. It can be commercial or residential.
While real estate has become a popular investment vehicle over
the last 50 years, buying and owning brick and mortar is a lot
more complicated than investing in equities and bonds.
Real estate yields benefits to the owner both in the form of
rental income and value appreciation.
“Don’t wait to buy real estate.
Buy real estate, and wait.”
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
REIT is an entity that lets investors pool their money to invest
in a collection of properties or other real estate assets.
An REIT owns and operates income-producing real estate or
related assets. These may include -office buildings, shopping
malls, apartments, hotels, resorts, self-storage facilities,
warehouses, and mortgages or loans.
An REIT does not develop real estate properties to resell them.
Instead, a REIT buys and develops properties primarily to
operate them as part of its own investment portfolio.
Modeled after mutual funds, REITs provide investors of all
types regular income streams, diversification and long-term
capital appreciation.
Real Estate Investment Trust
REITs raise funds from a large number of investors and directly
invest that sum in income-generating real estate properties
REITs allow small investors to invest in portfolios of large-scale
properties the same way MFs invest in stocks and other
instruments.
REITs are structured as Trusts. The trusts are listed in stock
exchanges so that investors can buy units in the trust.
The investment objective of an REIT is to provide unit holders
with dividends, usually generated from rental income and
capital gains from the profitable sale of real estate assets.
Typically, the trust distributes 90 per cent of its income among
its investors by issuing dividends.
