Literature Review
LIFE
L-Love others and they will love you back
I-Importance in workplace, from family and friends
F-Financial relaxation in mind
E- Empathy to others, since there is no use in living just for self.
If we can define life in this form, financial freedom and tension from all financial burden is avery important aspect of life. And personal wealth management is the tool to achieve thatgoal.
Definition
Personal Money Management involves a whole range of personal wealth
management issues including:
Planning for and reaching your retirement goals,
Securing your personal financial future, Exploring new revenue/income sources, that are well within your risk threshold,
and
Providing a secure financial future for your family and your loved ones.
In order for you enjoy a comfortable retirement lifestyle, you need to not only protect
all your financial assets, but also to grow your wealth by making your hard-earned
cash work hard for you -before and after your retirement. Additionally, you would
also want to make sure you are doing everything you possibly can for providing for
your family, and for minimizing your taxes -while keeping all your investment
expenses to the minimum.
Considering the diverse range of investment opportunities available in today's highly
fluid and often challenging investment market, it is important that you have access to
an experienced personal wealth management advisor that works hard for you. Your
financial interest is best served by a personal wealth/investment advisor who is
prepared to spend time with you to fully understand not only your unique future

revenue goals and your retirement plans, but also your margin of risk tolerance.
Unlike the many broker-firm affiliated financial advisors whose primary interest is to
make more money for the broker firm (and thereby more commission for themselves),
you should look for an independent financial/wealth management advisor that guides
you in all matters related to reaching your financial goals, and does not charge
excessive fees for the same.
An experienced personal wealth and retirement planning expert is usually well-
positioned to assist you in all facets of personal money management including:
investments options, ongoing investment portfolio management, and tax planning
before and after you reach your retirement.
Experts in personal wealth management perform an important role for clients who
wish to make the most of their financial assets. Beyond just overseeing investments,
handling individual monetary resources can reach past stocks, mutual funds, and
bonds and administer other issues as well. Retirement planning that starts early is a
much easier and more painless way to provide for future needs. Insurance needs and
tax concerns can be difficult to direct without professional help. Money set aside for
educational purposes can offer children the kinds of choices that can influence their
futures in positive ways. Vacation homes and family travel can become a reality
through the skilled administration of finances. All in all, personal wealth management
constitutes a lot more than just paying bills and investing in the stock market. Most
organizations will help clients by going over their individual income and assets and
create a plan of action that is uniquely tailored to them. Whether the need is for asset
protection or trust administration, inheritance issues or tax expertise, consulting
professionals in the field can make the difference between financial success and fiscal
disappointment.
When searching for an organization to handle personal wealth management, there are
a number of qualities to look for. Most agencies are interested in sticking with the
client over the course of their life, so finding a qualified organization is very
important. A potential client should seek professionals that are able to answer
complex questions and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that a client's
individual needs are met. If an agency is not willing to dedicate a great deal of time to
8/10/2019 Personal Wealth Management Project Report

develop a plan of action that covers current and long range needs, a client might be
better off going elsewhere. As tax laws and markets change, professionals should be
able to demonstrate that they are taking pains to stay up to date with current
conditions. Is an agency willing to regularly review a client's personal wealth
management issues to make sure that everything is staying on target? As years pass,
families change. Does the agency seem willing to help the client adapt to these
changes and is there an understanding of what these changes can mean to the financial
health and future of the client?
Estate planning is an important part of PWM program. The future of a client's
potential heirs is a very important concern. Clients work a lifetime for assets that they
wish to see passed to the next generation. Careful estate planning can limit the bite
that taxes can take out of a client's holdings after death. Without careful management,
valuable assets can be frittered away. Skilled professionals can work to make sure that
the client's wishes are carried out and disputes over assets are held to a minimum. The
last thing that an individual wants to worry about is estate related issues that tear a
family apart. While no organization can completely prevent such things from taking
place, a well handled estate can diminish the threat of such disagreements. Many
clients also wish to leave a portion of their assets to charity. A skilled financial
professional can help make sure that this wish is carried out and can also work with
surviving members in a professional and courteous manner. The Bible talks about the
value of friendship. "A man that hath friends must shrew himself friendly: and there is
a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." (Proverbs 18:24)
Handling trusts can be another important concern in the area of personal wealth
management. Establishing a trust is an alternative means to ensure that valuable assets
are passed on to loved ones. A trust involves a transfer of assets to institutions or
individuals. A trustee is appointed to oversee these assets. This trustee does not
necessarily own the property, but is responsible for making sure that the wishes of the
client are carried out. The client will remain in control of these assets and could even
appoint themselves as trustee. Concerns over lawsuits and other liabilities often
motivate clients to establish trusts. Assets that have been transferred to a trust will
generally remain protected from risk and from any future claims of creditors. Ofcourse, knowledgeable expertise in this area is very important since every situation is

Chapter-3 Budget Reallocation
Analysis of current situation :
1. There seems to be an inherent flaw in the way Miss Deepti has been spending her income.More than 40% of her income goes into discretionary expenses.
It is very high amount.
2. Also her surplus are very less considering that she is staying in accommodation provided by her father and all other expenses are shared between her housemates(elder brother andsister) .
3. Also her personnel loan(Rs 1 lac) was to meet her credit card expenses, which wereincurred while she was earning less in her previous job.
It seems to be wrong practice but she has been able to reduce the credit card debt of over Rs 2lac to 1 lac after taking a personal loan of 1lac. She has not let the expenses pyramid on hercredit card in the last 6 months.
4. There is no income generating asset at this time in the portfolio.
Let us try to realign her expenses (discretionary):

We can see that the surplus now becomes very huge, even though the lifestyle is maintained.This can be explained as below:
1. Client is residing in a house for which there is no rent expense.2. There is no dependent.3. Initially her discretionary expenses were very high.4. There is no planning involved for retirement or emergency.
Initial advice to the client :
This is the perfect time to save and start planning for the future since her disposableincome is very high and there are no dependents. Also she is not paying any house rentsince she is living in a house owned by her father. But this state is not going to continuefor long.

Chapter-4 Ratio Analysis :
Personal financial ratios
There are six ratios which help you to do the analyses of your finances and determineyour financial health. They are:
Basic solvency ratio Liquidity ratio Savings ratio Debt to asset ratio Solvency ratio and Net invested assets to net worth
Basic solvency ratio This ratio indicates your ability to meet monthly expenses in case of any emergencyor catastrophe. It is calculated by dividing the near-term cash you have with yourmonthly expenses.
Basic solvency ratio = Cash / Monthly expenses (this ratio is not mentioned inpercentage)
You can also call it as emergency or contingency planning ratio. This ratio helps you prepare for unforeseen problems.
Near-term cash
The numerator of the basic solvency ratio formula, cash (near cash), would generallycomprise of the following heads:
Savings account Bank fixed deposits Liquid funds Cash in hand
The above components are liquid assets which come handy at the first possible hint offinancial trouble. Liquid funds can be redeemed immediately. Same goes for fixeddeposits as they can be broken and liquidated immediately in case of an emergency.
Monthly expenses
Only the mandatory fixed and variable expenses are taken here for simplicity. Anyentertainment expenditure should not be taken as these expenses if need can beavoided.
Mandatory fixed expenses include the money you pay for EPF/ PPF contribution, loanEMIs, insurance premium, professional license fees and rent.
8/10/2019 Personal Wealth Management Project Report
21/43
Personal Wealth Management : Project 21
Mandatory variable expenses, on the other hand, comprise of food, transportation,clothing/ personal care, medical care, utilities, education expenses and miscellaneouscompulsory expenses (the above expenses can vary depending on individuals).
For Deepti,
Cash= 55000
Monthly expenses= 22000
Therefore Basic solvency ratio= 55000/22000
2.5 times
What sis adequate ratio= atleast 3 months.
How liquid are you?
Liquidity ratio = Liquid assets / Net worth
Where liquid assets comprises of:
Savings account Bank fixed deposit Liquid funds Cash in hand Equities (shares) All open-ended mutual funds
And any other type of assets, which can be liquidated within three to four workingdays!
What is this ratio for Deepti:
55000/337000
16.3 %.
Is it sufficient?
Yes it is good. Atleast 15% is the ideal ratio.

What is the situation here?
Total liabilities= 200000
Total Asset=550000
Ratio= 36.36%
Is it good?

Chapter-6 How to Use funds to achieve the financial goals:
There is a surplus of Rs 362000.
There is a yearly bonus of Rs 150000
So per year we have Rs 500000 for investment purpose.
Of this amount Rs 150000 will be available on year-on-year basis.
And Rs 30000 on per month basis.
1. To create emergency fund: Following the saving rule, 10% of gross income will gointo saving. That means Rs 7000 per month will go to savings.
2. To Invest in PPF: Rs 100000 from yearly bonus will go for this purpose.
3. To invest in mutual fund: Rs 8000 will go for this purpose.
4. Savings for education expenses: As a fund for monthly expenses, Rs 100000 isrequired. Time is 25 months. Rs 4000 per month will go for this purpose.
5. Corpus for downpayment for house loan: A corpus of around Rs 1500000 is required.Considering inflation and rate of return, per month Rs 17500 will go as a investmentfor this purpose. Since this money is required after 7 years, investment in equity(particularly growth shares) is advisable.

Chapter-7 Investment
Investor profile:
We will now try to find a perfect portfolio for Miss Deepti considering her goals and her profile.
What is portfolio and portfolio management?
Portfolio management involves deciding what assets to include in the portfolio,
given the goals and risk tolerance of the portfolio owner. Selection involves deciding
which assets to acquire/divest, how many to acquire/divest, and when to
acquire/divest them. These decisions always involve some sort of performance
measurement, most typically the expected return on the portfolio, and
the risk associated with this return (e.g., the expected standard deviation of theexpected return). However, due to the almost-complete uncertainty of future values,

Personal Wealth Management : Project 27
this performance measurement is often done on a casual qualitative basis, rather than
a precise quantitative basis (which would give a false sense of precision). Typically
the expected return from portfolios of different asset bundles is compared.
Portfolio DesigningWe recommend the following portfolio for Miss Deepti. This portfolio has been
designed keeping in mind the following factors:-
Risk- Moderate risk taking ability.
Return Requirements- Moderate return requirements.
Liquidity- Low liquid funds.
Tax- Tax saving funds are Moderate
Time- Since she is yet to start a family many of her requirements are going to
change in future.
Transaction Costs- Investments that require high transaction costs are avoided
as it creates a liquidity issue and also affects the return on investment.

2. Reduction of tax liability beyond Section 80C deductions - If your salarysurpasses Rs 250,000 pa and the reductions under Section 80C are not enough tominimize the general tax liability consider the following:

Medical insurance: A deduction of upto Rs 15,000 pa under section 80D is
applicable under this. Donations: Tax advantages under Section 80G entitle the donations to
particular funds/institutions.
3. Assert tax advantages on house rent paid - If HRA is not included in the salarystructure then the salaried individuals can asset rent paid by them for residentiallodging. This reduction is accessible under Section 80GG and is smallest amount ofthe following:
25% of the total earnings or,
Rs 2,000 every month or,
Surplus of housing charge paid over 10% of total salary
4. Reorganize the salary - Reorganizing the salary and incorporating certainapparatus can help in the long run in minimizing the tax liability. In order to assert tax
