Executive Summary
This is a project which is very closely related to ones personal life & is aimed at
understanding the various aspects related to Personal Financial management. Financial
Planning is important to lead a carefree and independent life. As is often said, money
does not grow through savings alone, but through careful financial planning.
Through this project I have got an understanding of how a financial consultant plans out
course of action for his client based on his life goals & objectives. This report has also
helped me understand the role of a consultant and the importance of communication
skills in this profession. It is important to gain trust of the client as wealth is a very
private matter.
We see how Financial Planning is highly contingent on not just the persons goals but
also his life stage, risk appetite, capabilities and his liabilities. Each of these factors
affects the way we plan to achieve these goals.
Overall, this project takes the case of an individual named Mr. Kshitij Garg & deals with
his personal wealth management, taking into consideration his roles & responsibilities,
and at the same time fulfilling his personal financial goals. Careful financial Planning
can help an individual comfortably achieve all his financial goals without any special cut
back in the lifestyle. Personal Wealth management aims at helping an individual
comfortably achieve all these goals.
I have also gained a deep insight into how an individuals risk taking capability and
priorities in life significantly influence his ability to plan effectively and achieve these
goals.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Personal Wealth Management
The term wealth management is thrown around plenty, in the boardrooms of
private client firms, in trade and mainstream articles and by financial advisors in front
of clients. From the affluent individuals perspective, wealth management is simply the
science of solving/enhancing his or her financial situation. From the financial advisors
perspective, wealth management is the ability of an advisor or advisory team to deliver a
full range of financial services and products to an affluent client in a consultative way.
Private or Personal wealth management (PWM) is the term generally used to
describe highly customized and sophisticated investment management and financial
planning services delivered to high net worth investors. Generally, this includes advice
on the use of trusts and other estate planning, vehicles, business succession or stock
option planning, and the use of hedging derivatives for large blocks of stock.
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. 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.
There are many benefits associated with personal wealth management. By turning these
complex issues over to experts in the financial field, a client is free to handle other life
priorities with reduced stress and less distraction. Seasoned professionals can look at
Personal Wealth Management

the life goals of the client and zero in on the best way to meet those goals. Solid planning
can address current as well as future issues.

Importance of the Study


Wealth management should be given utmost importance because if an individual
doesnt manage the wealth well, one day or the other it will disappear & he/she wont be
able to enjoy it over an extended period of time. So wealth management should be given
as much attention as one gives on earning money. Though people plan for their wealth
management perfectly, there are some common mistakes which people commit and
tend to lose their hard earned money. The mistakes which they commit might look very
simple, but the impact which they create might be complex and huge.
Wealth management is important not only for affluent individuals, but it is even more
important for not so rich individuals because they lack the resources in case something
bad happens. Affluent individuals often need sophisticated advice and strategic
guidance to capitalize on opportunities to preserve, grow and transfer their wealth.

Purpose of the study


Increased level of wealth created by individual and brighter economic prospects for the
future has substantially augmented the demand for sound professional advice on setting
financial goals, aligning financial planning with career planning, investment planning,
retirement planning, tax and estate planning. With the help of this end term project, my
aim is understand and study the strategies for managing wealth on trans-generational
basis of an individual.
To understand the Personal Wealth Management of a Mr. Kshitij Garg,
Manager, Risk & Process in Internal Audit at Deloitte India Pvt. Ltd.

Objective of the Study


1. Demographic profiling of the client
2. To list out the financial goals of the client in SMART format
3. To analyze clients current financials and existing personal investments.

Chapter 2: Literature Review


The-teachings-of-warren-buffet
Subramanyam, P. V. (2013, October 1)
The article states on what Warren Buffet says about basic investing, spending, and
savings are so true. Most of us know it, however too many of us do not live it.
1. On Earning:
Do not depend on a single income. Invest and create a second/ third source of
income: This means when you are young your first task should be saving and
investing. By creating a second source of income you are quickly reducing your
dependence on your job. This could help you to set out on your own one day. The
quicker you can do it, the better.
2. On Spending:
If you buy things that you do not need, you may soon have to sell things you need.
It kind of summarizes Gen Xs reaction towards luxuries. As a part of Gen X we
were perhaps criticized for some of our expenses, so it could be a generational
thing even for WB. However, having goals and knowing where you are going, and
not spending just to show off are important lessons for all generations.
3. On Savings:
Do not spend what is left after spending; instead spend after you save/invest:
Also called Pay Yourself First. If you realize that investing in a pension plan or
for your kids education is just helping you to save more later on. It is not a
sacrifice, it is just postponing consumption. So understand, invest and then
spend.
4. On taking Risk:
Never test the depth of the river with both your feet: If you are doing something,
do small. If you are a first gen investor, do not be carried away by equity lovers
like me and put all your money in equity. Do a SIP with a small amount, and test
the waters. Do a SIP of Rs. X (which could be 10% of your take home pay) for 5
years and then step up. And for heaven's sake understand risk of inflation, and
the concept of real returns
5. On Investing:
Personal Wealth Management

Page 7

Do not put all eggs in one basket: Immaterial of who you are and how much you
understand, create a portfolio. A full range lunch plate is always better than just
one item. So create a portfolio with bonds, bond funds, PPF, NSC, equity, mutual
funds, and on the risk side medical and term insurance.
6. On Expectation:
Honesty is expensive; do not expect it from cheap people: Not everybody is
honest, nor does everybody want to be honest. Honest advisers are difficult to
find especially in Health and Wealth, be careful.
Financial Planning: From the Bible to the Internet
Redmer, T., & King, J. L. (September, 2012)
The need for biblically based financial planning has been around for many years. The
ancient Babylonians were some of the first civilizations to use a medium of exchange
and also one of the first to vaguely see the need for some type of financial planning.
Some say that only the Inca civilization in Peru successfully existed without some
form of money. In Christs time on earth, as recorded in the Scriptures, money was
used and sometimes abused by those that werent living a Godly life. Though the
Bible doesnt teach or offer a contemporary plan for financial success, it speaks to the
issue of finances in many areas that include tithes and offerings, usury and greed.
This paper offers Christians a history of money that shows where it came from and
how we got to where we are today. This paper also offers various websites found on
the Internet that will educate, inform and promote their successful financial future.
This paper is written in light of Matthew 10:16, I am sending you out like sheep
among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
Eight Principles of Strategic Wealth Management.
Lucas, S. E. (January, 2012)
The author has stated the following Eight Principles of Strategic Wealth
Management which he states that are at the heart of what he does every day. They
are:
1. Take charge and do it early.
2. Align family and business interests around wealth-building goals and
strategies.
3. Create a culture of accountability.
4. Capitalize on your family's combined resources.
5. Delegate, empower, and respect independence.

6. Diversify but focus.


7. Err on the side of simplicity where possible.
8. Develop future family leaders with strong wealth management skills.

Keeping it Simple: Financial Literacy and Rules of Thumb.


Drexler, A., Fischer, G., & Schoar, A. (July, 2011)
This paper determines whether and how financial literacy can be taught and, closely
related, whether there is causal link between improving Financial literacy and
Financial outcomes. It concluded that improved knowledge of financial accounting
indeed has a positive effect on the management practices of individuals and small
businesses.

Financial Life Well-lived: Psychological Benefits of Financial Planning


Irving, K. (volume 6, no. 4, 2013).
As the financial planning industry undergoes a series of reforms aimed at increased
professionalism and improved quality of advice, financial planner training in
Australia and elsewhere has begun to acknowledge the importance of
interdisciplinary knowledge bases in informing both curriculum design and
professional practice (e.g. FPA 2009). This paper underscores the importance of the
process of financial planning by providing a conceptual analysis of the six step
financial planning process using key mechanisms derived from theory and research
in cognate disciplines, such as psychology and well-being. The paper identifies how
these mechanisms may operate to impact client well-being in the financial planning
context. The conceptual mapping of the mechanisms to process elements of financial
planning is a unique contribution to the financial planning literature and offers a
further framework in the armamentarium of researchers interested in pursuing
questions around the value of financial planning. The conceptual framework derived
from the analysis also adds to the growing body of literature aimed at developing an
integrated model of financial planning.

Clients Attitude towards Money


The degree to which the money controls clients life is 6 which indicate a quite neutral
attitude towards money and his way to deal with life situations.
Though the dark side is that his little casual attitude towards money is putting
hindrance for planning for Childrens Education, Marriage & own Retirement Planning.
He sometimes tends to get nervous with situations where he is short of money and
therefore indicates a need of financial planning to manage his and familys lifestyle in a
better way.

Table 6: Financial Ratios

Personal Wealth Management

Page 16

1. Basic Solvency Ratio: This ratio indicates an individuals ability to meet his or her
monthly expenses in case of an emergency or a catastrophe.
Basic Solvency Ratio=Near Cash/Monthly Expenses
Cash (near cash) includes all liquid assets like savings a/c, Fixed Deposit; cash in
hand and Liquid Funds. Monthly Expenses include mandatory fixed and variable
expenses.
The ideal ratio is 3 but Mr. Garg is having a ratio of 11.77. This means there is too
much of liquid cash or idle cash, which can be invested for better purposes that will
start generating returns.
2. Liquidity Ratio: This ratio helps a person to know his financial liquidity.
Maintaining a certain level of liquidity is essential to ward off any unforeseen
financial hardships. Property can be considered as a good investment avenue but
lack of liquidity is its biggest drawback and while equity is risky; its biggest
advantage is liquidity.
Liquidity Ratio= Liquid Assets/Net worth
Liquid Assets include all cash (near cash assets), equities, Equity Mutual Funds,
Debt funds and other assets which can be redeemed within three to four working
days.
The liquidity ratio is 27.21% which is much more than the ideal value of 15%. This
means that 27.21% per cent of his portfolio comprises of liquid assets which could
be converted into investments for better returns.
3. Savings Ratio: This ratio indicates the amount an individual sets aside as savings
for his future goals.

Savings Ratio = Savings/Gross Income


Savings include any form of savings like Fixed Deposits, Liquid Funds, Mutual
Funds, Equities, Debt, Bonds, PPF, Post Office Small Saving Schemes and others
where the individual saves on a regular basis.

Personal Wealth Management

Page 17

Mr. Garg savings Ratio is 16.51% per cent. This is marginally above the ideal
minimum savings of 10 per cent meaning that sufficient income is invested for
meeting future obligations.
4. Debt to Asset Ratio: This ratio helps a person to understand whether he is over
borrowed or is in a comfortable position, i.e., if he faces any solvency problems. This
ratio should always be used when one is planning to take a new loan. If an individual
is over borrowed, it is best to avoid getting into something new. Instead the person
should wait until he has finished paying off his previous loan amount.
Debt to Asset ratio= Total Liabilities/ Total Assets
Mr. Garg debt to asset ratio is close to 12.56% per cent. This is very good as the
ideal ratio is considered to be less than 50%. That is your total debts should not
increase more than 50 per cent of your total assets. So the low leveraged personal
balance sheet shows a remarkable position as the assets invested in are also those
which can appreciate and give higher returns.
5. Debt to income ratio: It is the percentage of consumer's income that goes towards
payment of debts. This ratio is calculated by dividing total annual debt payments by
total annual take home salary.
Debt to income ratio = Total debt payments / Total take home salary
The ideal Debt to Income ratio should not exceed 45%. That is your total annual
debt payments should not exceed more than 45 per cent of your total annual take
home salary. However, Mr. Garg debt to income ratio is 44.95% which is optimal.
6. Solvency Ratio: Long term solvency ratio compares an individual's net worth
against total assets accumulated by him/her. This ratio indicates the ability of an
individual to repay all his/her existing debts using existing assets in case of
unforeseen events.
Solvency Ratio = Total Net Worth/ Total Assets

Personal Wealth Management

Page 18

The ideal ratio should be minimum 50%. Mr. Gargs solvency ratio is extremely
good as its 87.44%, which clearly indicates his strong ability to service her debts.

There should be a term life policy for Mr Garg to the extent of 15 times his annual
income. The ICICI term policy can be taken for the same as it can be taken online

and thus it will be less expensive.


A family health cover is recommended to the Mr.Garg which can cover a medical
expense of upto Rs 5 lac. It is recommended to take a family floater policy instead of

individual medical insurance cover.


Mr. Garg doesnt have any home insurance cover. It is suggested to the family to get
an insurance cover for Home of Rs 25, 00,000 (Premium Rs 2550 per annum) and
Home Content Insurance against theft & burglary of Rs 2, 50,000 (Premium of Rs

500 per annum).


The client also needs other non-life insurance covers such as accidental insurance
along with other contracts of indemnity to indemnify against the loss of their prized
possessions like home, vehicle etc.

Investment Planning
Investment means putting your money in an investment alternative with the
expectations of getting an expected return on the amount invested. Investment always
involves a risk-return trade-off. Hence, before suggesting any type of asset class for
investment to the client, it is necessary to understand his risk appetite.

Analyzing the Risk Appetite of Mr. Kshitij Garg


He is service class person in age group of 20-30 years. There may be chance of job loss
or job switch. He believes that with his experience and expertise will bring him out of
any uncertainty. In the worst case he might not bring home a salary for maximum 2-3
months. He has enough past savings to thrive on.

His Current Investments:


Investment in Mutual Fund
Investment in Fixed Deposit

2,20,000
1,20,000

Mr. Kshitij Garg seems to be quiet risk averse as majority of his investments are in a
fixed return assets i.e. Fixed Deposit schemes and Mutual Fund. Therefore, he can
invest in Equity to seek higher returns as he doesnt seem to have any major obligations.
He is suggested to diversify his product and investment portfolio by including both high
risks high return and low risk low return investments.

Tax Planning
Mr. Kshitij Garg are in higher tax bracket of 20 % so tax planning for them is very
necessary as till now they are paying approximately Rs 104400 as their annual tax.
Application in Case of Mr. Kshitij Garg:
He is getting tax deductions on Employee Provident Fund, Life insurance Premiums,
Bank Fixed deposits.
Interest payments on Home Loan of up to Rs 150,000 pa are entitled for reduction
under Section 24. Mr. Kshitij is liable to pay an Interest on Home loan which is
partially on loan. Therefore, he can claim tax deductions under HRA
At Present Mr. Verma has no medical insurance, but he should plan for his family
medical insurance to claim deduction of upto Rs 15,000 pa under section 80D of
Income Tax Act.
At Present Mr. Verma does not make any contributions towards Charity. By doing
donations to particular funds/institutions, Tax advantages under Section 80G will be
available to Mr. Garg.
His focus should be towards investing into tax efficient investments after the
retirement.

Retirement Planning
Mr. Kshitij Garg plans to have a corpus of Rs. 5 crores by the time he retires at the
age of 60. He expects his career to experience a steady rise through the ranks of the
company, and a rise in salary along with that. Mr. & Mrs. Garg are in service where their

gratuity and provident fund account is being credited every month by their employer
which is one most important aspect in saving for retirement.
Thus, the suggestion for Mr. Kshitij is to put a portion of some of his income (which is
expected to rise substantially in the next 15 years) to retirement fund. The Plan suitable
for Mr. Garg is LIC Jeevan Nidhi.

Limitations of the Study

The most important limitation of this study is the authencity in the information
provided by the client. Also future cannot be accurately predicted so there would
always be some element of uncertainty in the projections.

The study couldnt test about the 100% accurate wealth management and financial
planning as the client may skip some information and he might not want to share
100% correct information.

Also this study is very individualistic in nature as it is applicable to only one


individual. It cannot be extended to any other individual.
