INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Wealth Management
Wealth Management as a concept originated in year 1990's in the US. Essentially it is the
investment advisory covering financial planning that provides individuals with private banking/
asset management/ taxation advisory & portfolio management. Warren Buffett is the most
successful investor in world. He says that "The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as
business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety. That's
what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now they will still be the cornerstones of
investing". He is even called as wealth creator.
Financial Planning
Everyone has needs and aspirations. Financial Planning is an approach to assess the
adequacy of income and assets of a person to meet the financial requirements for
fulfillment of these needs and aspirations.
6
Kind of Financial Planning
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Goal Based
Compressive
Based
The goal-based financial plan can get more complex, when we provide for multiple goals,
with a different asset allocation for each goal, and different projected returns for each asset
class. Goal-based financial plans are a usual starting point for the investor- planner
relationship.
7
Role of Financial Planner/ Wealth Manager
The financial planner's fundamental role is to ensure that the investors have adequate money/
wealth for various financial needs/ goals.
While performing this role, financial planners offer some or all of the following services:
Life Cycle
5 Retirement
8
Position on the life cycle determines the kinds of challenges the investors is likely to
face and therefore the approach to financial planning.
For instance, younger investors have the entire earning cycle ahead of them. Their insurance
needs will be high. Those with dependents need to have adequate life insurance to protect the
family against untimely demise.
On retirement, if salary or business earnings were to stop, then investors need to be
cautious in taking risks. At a younger age, the investors can take greater risk. Asset
Allocation is a key decision across the life cycle of the investors.
Wealth Cycle
As with life cycle, the position of the investor on the wealth-cycle changes over time. The
key stages are:
Wealth
Accumulation
Wealth
Preservation
Wealth
Distribution
9
Systematic Approach to Investing
In the long term, equity share prices track corporate performance. More profitable a
company, higher is likely to be its share price. However, in shorter time frames, the market is
unpredictable. Market fluctuations are a source of risk for investors. Over the period of time
equity has given a better return than any other source of investments.
10
Risk Profiling
The more risk oriented investor is having greater risk so the exposure that can be suggested to
risky assets. In general, equity is viewed as the risky asset, while debt is considered the safer
asset. Gold protects the portfolio in extremely adverse situations, where both debt and equity
under-perform. Real estate is an illiquid asset that can grow over time, and also give rental
income. Debt, Equity, Gold and Real Estate are asset classes.
In Risk Profiling Investor data analysis including positioning on the Life Cycle and Wealth
Cycle which will suggest the investor's risk profile. Planners classify their investors into
groups, such as
Extremely
Risk Averse
Extremely
Moderately
Risk
Risk Averse
Oriented
RISK
PROFILLING
Moderately Risk
Risk Neutral
Oriented
11
2. Moderately Risk Averse:
A risk averse investor is an investor who prefers lower returns with known risks
rather than higher returns with unknown risks. In other words, among various
investments giving the same return with different level of risks, this investor always
prefers the alternative with least interest.
3. Risk Neutral:
Risk neutral is a term used to describe the attitude of an individual who may be
evaluating investment alternatives. If the individual focuses solely on potential gains
regardless of the risk, they are said to be risk neutral.

Literature Review
13
LITERATURE REVIEW
BY BOOKS:-
The literature on investment strategies in wealth management covers a range of approaches, including
active versus passive management, value investing, growth investing, and factor-based investing. It
14
explores the impact of market efficiency, behavioral biases, and macroeconomic factors on
investment decision-making.
Effective risk management is crucial in wealth management to protect capital and preserve
wealth. The literature discusses various risk management strategies, including diversification,
hedging, and the use of alternative investments. It also examines the role of insurance, estate
planning, and asset protection in mitigating risks.
Understanding investor behavior and psychology is essential for wealth managers. The
literature on behavioral finance explores cognitive biases, emotional decision-making, and
herd behavior that influence investment choices. It provides insights into the application of
behavioral finance principles in wealth management, such as goal- based investing and
investor education.

Clustering Indian stock market data for portfolio management, Author
links open overlay panel, S.R. Nanda, B. Mahanty,
M.K. Tiwari (6 July 2010):- In this section, portfolio management and clustering
techniques are briefly reviewed. We found that the problem of efficient frontier can be
solved more efficiently by clustering the stocks and then choosing to enhance the criteria of
diversification. We propose clustering of high dimensional stock data by the popular
clustering methods K-means, SOM and Fuzzy C- means and then selecting stocks to build an
efficient portfolio. All the clustering methods are used to cluster financial stock data from
Bombay Stock Exchange that consists of returns.

CHAPTER-4
Data Collection & Analysis
20
Asset Allocation
Different asset classes perform well in varied economic and market scenarios. The analyst
seeks to interpret the leading indicators and anticipate likely market trajectory. However, it
is not possible to predict the market with certainty. An approach to balance the uncertainty
is to invest in a mix of asset classes. This ensures that some asset classes in the portfolio
perform well, when others don't. Such distribution of investment portfolio between asset
classes is "asset allocation"
Strategic
Assets
Allocation
TYPES OF
ASSETS
ALLOCATION
Flexible Tactical
Assets Assets
Allocation Allocation
Strategic asset allocation is a portfolio strategy whereby the investor sets target allocations
for various asset classes and rebalances the portfolio periodically. The target allocations are
based on factors such as the investor's risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment
objectives. In short distribution between asset classes based on risk profile of investor is
called Strategic asset allocation
21
Tactical Asset Allocation:-
Investors who are oriented to take risk do take asset allocation calls based on their views of
the market. When they fell the market is undervalued they increase their exposure to
equity. They exit their equity investment when the view is that the market is overheated.
Such an approach to investment is called "Tactical Asset Allocation".
A flexible fund is a mutual fund or other pooled investment that has broad flexibility for
making investment decisions and allocations.
Flexible funds usually target some universe of securities; however, they may also have the
flexibility to invest across all types of assets.
A flexible fund usually does not have fundamental investing criteria or requirements that
the portfolio manager must follow. This gives the portfolio manager the opportunity to
choose from a broad universe of investments. Managers can also more actively allocate
investments according to market opportunities and conditions rather than specific investing
requirements.
22
Financial Planning in India:-
Mutual Fund distributors and others involved in selling or distributing mutual funds need to
pass the prescribed examination before they can start selling mutual fund schemes. However,
no such requirements have been set for financial planners and wealth advisers.
Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has come out with a concept paper on the
proposed regulatory structure for investment advisers. The highlights are as follows:
The person who interfaces with the customer should declare upfront whether he
is a financial advisor or an agent of the companies.
Advisers should be governed
They should be subject to Investment Advisors Regulations.
Advisors should acquire higher level of qualifications.
They may act as advisor to investor for multiple financial products.
A wealth manager seeks to understand what the Investor wants with the wealth viz. grow
the wealth with an openness to take risk; or consolidate the wealth with a conservative
approach to risk; or preserve the wealth while avoiding risk to the extent possible.
Different asset allocation mix would be appropriate for each of these profiles. Wealth
Management deals with creation, accumulation, preservation and of wealth.
23
Wealth Management in India
India's wealthy are relatively young compared with their international counterparts and,
hence, take a different approach to wealth management. The demographic difference
presents an opportunity to create new products to address the needs of a young population
and leverage new technologies, such as social- and mobile-enabling investing applications as
a key differentiator. India's wealth management services sector is largely fragmented, which
isn't surprising given the industry is still in its early days. Hence, it is recommended that
firms take a long-term view while evaluating potential return on investment. Given the
market and a demographic and regulatory environment that is significantly different from
elsewhere in the world, we recommend wealth managers consider the following to succeed in
the Indian market:
Focus on transparency and compliance, while targeting customers with attractive, segment
focused products.
24
Though wealth management is a new concept for India, some companies are started
working in this direction. Here is list of some companies:

Investment Avenues
Investment Avenues are different ways that you can invest your money. Following
investment avenues that are considered in this report are as follows:
Saving
Account
Bank
Deposite Life Insurance
Public
Provident
Debentures
Fund
National
Saving
Certificate Bonds
Post Office
Saving Equity Share
Market
Government
Securities Commodity
Share Market
Mutual
Funds FOREX
Market
Real Estate
(Property)
26
Some important Investments Avenues are explained below:
1. Funds:-
A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that is made up of a pool of funds collected from
many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market
instruments and similar assets. Mutual funds are operated by money managers, who invest
the fund's capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the fund's investors. A
mutual fund's portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated
in its prospectus.
Insurance is a protection against the loss of income that would result if the insured passed
away. The named beneficiary receives the proceeds and is thereby safeguarded from the
financial impact of the death of the insured. The goal of life insurance is to provide a
measure of financial security for your family after you die. So, before purchasing a life
insurance policy, you should consider your financial situation and the standard of living you
want to maintain for your dependents or survivors.
A debenture is a type of debt instrument that is not secured by physical assets or collateral.
Debentures are backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer.
Both corporations and governments frequently issue this type of bond to secure capital.
Like other types of bonds, debentures are documented in an indenture. There are 2 types of
debentures: Convertible and nonconvertible. 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 are used by
companies, municipalities, states and sovereign governments to raise money and finance a
variety of projects and activities.
27
4. Equity Market:-
Equity market one of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives companies
access to capital and investors a slice of ownership in a company with the potential to realize
gains based on its future performance. The securities traded in the equity market can be either
public stocks, which are those listed on the stock exchange, or privately traded stocks.
5. Commodity Market:-
A physical or virtual marketplace for buying, selling and trading raw or primary products.
For investors' purposes there are currently about 50 major commodity markets worldwide
that facilitate investment trade in nearly 100 primary commodities.
Commodities are split into two types: hard and soft commodities. Hard commodities are
typically natural resources that must be mined or extracted (gold, rubber, oil, etc.), whereas
soft commodities are agricultural products or livestock (corn, wheat, coffee, sugar, soybeans,
etc.)
6. FOREX Market:-
FOREX is the market in which currencies are traded. The FOREX market is the largest,
most liquid market in the world, with average traded values that can be trillions of dollars per
day. It includes all of the currencies in the world. There is no central marketplace for
currency exchange: trade is conducted over the counter. FOREX transactions take place on
either a spot or a forward basis

FINDINGS
41
There are some Major findings which below:-
Some of them young and unmarried people don't have proper financial planning.
On other hand married and having young & older children prefer for financial
planning and do consult with financial planner to manage their asset mix.
We can categorize people into 4 segments i.e. young and married, married with
no children; married and having young children; married and having older
children and retirement.
Most of the people are interested to invest in mutual fund, and some investors
prefer systematic approach based investment. But on other hand we can say that
most of the respondent doesn't know the benefits of systematic approach.
By the data we identify that most of the people prefer medium term
duration for the investment.
42
There are some General/Minor findings which below:-
Respondent who are young either unmarried & married are not aware how to
balance uncertainty with various asset mix.
By the data we notice that long term horizon is mostly prefers by fixed asset
allocation respondent and even they have proper financial planning.
According to data we understand that 72% people are aware about wealth
management, but rest of them are not aware about the wealth management. By
this most of the people are not read anything about wealth management and not
have any idea about wealth management
43
CHAPTER-6
CONCLUSION
44
Conclusion
By survey we can say that many individual don't know the real meaning of wealth
management as they interpret it as financial planning. Out of 50 respondents 32
respondents say that they are aware about wealth management.
Respondent prefer risk free asset to be in their portfolio like PPF, FD's, Life
insurance, Gold etc. thus we can say that these are some popular sources other than
saving account.
On an average saving percentage give an outlook of risk that person can beer.
Low saving ratio lead to lower risk & high saving ratio lead to high risk.
Higher the return, higher the risk will be. Mutual funds though given the higher return
in long run than any other asset mix but yet not been preferred by many of
respondents, now a day SIP is more popularizing in mutual fund.
In recent years, the proliferation of wealth management products and innovative financial
services have contributed to the steady growth of wealth management as an attractive and
lucrative service sector within the financial industry around the world. The constant forward
march of technology is opening new markets in wealth management. At the same time, rapid
product development and changing needs of the investors and globalization of businesses are
posing new challenges for the professionals in wealth management.
