Wealth Management
Wealth Management
Wealth management is just emerging in India. The growth of the economy has
already been widely showcased. Wealth and disposable income are growing
substantially. For the first time the ability to earn and save are slightly different.
Earlier you just pul away your money in some guaranteed products.
Today, when even the government is withdrawing from those products (it recently
slopped the maturity bonus on post-office savings), investors, whether they be
doctors, architects or anyone else, need professional help.
India is one of the fast growing economies in the world and hence it has a large pool of the people
whose net worth is high and very high net worth individuals. The number of the people inthese
categories is increasing with a faster pace than any other country of the world. The mainstream of the
growth the country is these HNIs and UHNIs (Ultra High Net Worth Individuals), and because these have
a large pool of money means they have investible money ,every financial institution try to get them as
their clients so that by doing business with them financial institutions can also get a strong base in the
economy.
The financial institutions are providing various services to the HNIs and UHNIs to make their investment
decisions, such kind of services now a day are called wealth management services and the financial
planning. Todays investors have become very sophisticated in their investment decisions.
Such sophisticated investors (HNIs) with a heightened interest in international investments are
determined to get the best return on their wealth. Thus , the wealth management and private banking
industry must offer their wealthy clients innovative and comprehensive strategies to effectively organize
their investments.
The financial planning and the wealth management services sound similar on the surface but in the deep
they are a little bit dissimilar also. In a broad view wealth management services is a part of the financial
planning services. But now a day wealth management services are restricted to the sophisticated
customers so that the term wealth is not used for each and every customer of the financial institutions.
Wealth doesnt mean that it is related only with the money ,wealth can be the business ,house and
property, gold ,bonds ,stocks, jewels etc. and to maintain and take care of this and as well asto increase
the worth of all of these people need assistance.
Wealth Management
The financial institutions provide the assistance to those people who either want to proceed with
various phases of the financial planning and the wealth management.
India Infoline Ltd is also one of the wealth management services providers and isdoing very well
in this area. Some of its services are well known and as it is associated with theState Bank of
India it has a very strong reputation among the people .
In the later part of the project we will come to know that what various kinds of the
financial planning services and the wealth management services are provided by the financial
institutions.
There are some findings and recommendations are also provided,that are the result of the survey of the
HNIs and the according to the responses provided by them to the different questions of the
questionnaire.
1.1 - Objective Of Study
Financial institutions like Banks and other institutions need information on the needs and
requirements of the HNIs in the different investment objectives. In order to make sound decision
about providing best possible solution to the clients financials needs and problems.
To study the various wealth management services provided by the Organization.
To know what are the primary investment objectives of the HNIs as no two people have same
kind of service requirements.
To know the existing level of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of the clients about the services
provided by the Organization.
Wealth Management
Wealth management firms face many challenges in formulating winning services offering
meeting the client needs. Some of key challenges faced by wealth management firms are:
1. Highly Personalized and Customized Services
2. Personal relationship driving the business
3. Evolving Client Profile
4. Client Involvement Level
5. Passion Investment (Philanthropy and Social Responsibility)
6. Limited Leveraging Capabilities of Technology(as an enabler)
7. Technical Architecture and Technology Investment
8. Intricate Knowledge of Cross-functional Domain
Wealth Management
To provide enough resilience and high business relevance, any of the considered option and associated
technical structure should keep due provisions for the following key elements:
Rule based processing to manage complex business rules and service definitions.
Client profile / data management to cater a profile driven solution offering.
Complex decision support and client oriented analytics.
Flexibility to incorporate manual processing interfaces in applications.
There are many financial mistakes that we all make, which are quite common and perpetuated
generation after generation. `Financial mistakes', which if avoided, can result in financial freedom and
wealth creation. The most common of some of the financial mistakes are as under:OverspendingDelaying or ignoring a WillInsurance folliesNot creating Contingency fundPutting Off Financial PlanningNot starting savings early and not realizing power of compounding
NOMINATION IS THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE ,NOT THE RIGHT TO OWN . FOR EXAMPLE ,IF THE PERSON HAS
NOMINATED HIS WIFE IN VARIOUS ASSETS (BONDS, BANK DEPOSITS ,SHARES,ETC), THE WIFE GETS THE RIGHT
TO RECEIVE THE ASSET . BUT, IN CASE THERE IS NO WILL,ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER ,FOR EXAMPLE HIS
MOTHER ,HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE THE MATTER TO THE COURT. A WRITTEN WILL ENSURES THAT THE ASSET
GOES TO THE PERSON ONE DESIRES . A WILL NEED NOT BE DRAFTED ONLY WITH A HELP OF A LAWYER . O NE
CAN DRAFT IT IN OWN HANDWRITING AND THE FORMAT / DRAFT IS SIMPLE AND CAN BE EASILY ACCESSED ON
THE NET. A HANDWRITTEN WILL ,ATTESTED BY TWO PERSONS, PREFERABLY ONE OF THEM THE PERSON' S
DOCTOR ,AND WOULD ENSURE THAT THE WILL WOULD NOT BE CHALLENGED . MOST PARENTS LEAVE THE IDEA
OF MAKING A WILL AFTER THEIR RETIREMENT . T HEY FEELTHAT NOMINATION OR JOINT HOLDING WILL SERVE
THE PURPOSE . IF A PERSON DIES INTESTATE ,THEN THE POSSIBILITY OF LEGAL DISPUTES AND DIVISION OF
ASSETS UNDER SUCCESSION ACTS BECOME A REALITYAMONGST THE FAMILY MEMBERS .
INSURANCE FOLLIES:
RISK MANAGEMENT IS ENSURING THAT HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE IS IN PLACE(AND ADEQUATE TOO ) AND
THAT THERE ARE NO LAPSES IN PREMIUM PAYMENTS. M ANY OF US TAKEMORE THAN ONE INSURANCE POLICY
TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM SAFEGUARDS AGAINST RISK. INSTEAD OF TAKING MULTIPLE POLICIES,ONE SHOULD GO
FOR INCREASING LIFE COVER IN THE EXISTING POLICY . W EOFTEN HAVE ADEQUATE LIFE COVER ,BUT IGNORE
TO TAKE A MEDICAL POLICY , WHICH ULTIMATELY FORCEUS TO SHELL OUT HEFTY SUMS OUT OF OUR SAVINGS
TO COVER MEDICAL EXPENSES. W E OFTEN FORGETTO TAKE MEDICAL POLICIES FOR THE KIDS OR
PARENTS,LEAVING THEM EXPOSED ,IN THE CASE OF EVENTUALITY . DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS,INSURANCE PRODUCTS LIKE ULIP HAVE GAINED POPULARITY BECAUSE OF THE RISING EQUITY
MARKETS. HOWEVER ,SUCH PRODUCTS ARE EXPENSIVEAND PROVIDE LESS LIFE COVERAGE . PEOPLE END UP
BUYING PRODUCTS ,WHICH ARE INAPPROPRIATEFOR THEIR REQUIREMENT. INVESTMENT IS NOT AN EXPENSE .
IT IS MONEY PUT AWAY FOR FUTURE USE .SO,CUTTING DOWN ON INVESTMENTS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
Not creating contingency fund:One should keep aside contingency fund for rainy days, part in form of
cash and part in bank account. Contingency fund is required to take careof medicalemergency,loss of
income due to job loss etc. This amount should be roughlyequivalent to three to five months of living
expenses including funds required for emergency. Few people keep such emergency fund.
Wealth Management
care of marriage expenses. Such funds need to be parked in safe assets for short-term needswithout
taking any risk. The biggest mistake that people make is to ignore the value of financial planning.
Not starting savings early and not realizing power of compounding:When we startour career and
earn,we want to buy whole world from it. We get married; we buy home, have our family,
expenses keep adding up. Our income increases but so does our expenses. When we start earning we
don't think about savings. We tend to forget power of compounding. Because of the power of
compounding specially over a long period of time,the difference between starting to invest early versus
starting late can have asignificant impact on your wealth. Benjamin Franklin described power of
compoundingas the eight wonders of the world'. Legendary investor and wealthiest man on
earthWarren Buffet made his first investment when he was11years old and according to himhe started
late. Warren Buffest was millionaire by the time he was around 30years old.
5)
Helpful for Indian Economy: Banks which are engaged in business of WM earning
revenues from the foreign countries i.e. outsourcing for economy
Wealth Management
LIMITATIONS
1.
WM Reduces The Scope Of Management: Though They all know that management has
existence at all levels of life and society but the term Wealth management only related with the
higher level means rich people, and is not having any plans and provisions for poor and lower
and middle level of society.
2.
Chances of Fraud: Another demerit or limitation of the WM concept is it is not
showing the actual position. The customer doesnt know about the things going on with using
his Wealth and there may be chances of forgery and fraud with customers.
3.
Actual Picture VS Inflation: What is the actual position of market they dont know
because every thing is done by some WM professionals. So they can not assume Their position
in the market that also results in inflation because economy is unknown about the actual
state. There may be chance that the customers are in risk but they are showing the false return
and vice-versa.
1.5 - RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection:
Primary data
Primary data are data freshly gathered for a specific purpose. The various sources of
primary data for my project are as follows.
Banks.
Local residents.
People from industries
Mall

information.
The secondary data was the most important source for my project because it gave us information
about company profile, competitors, market scenario, market share, etc.

progress.
We used secondary data for following sources:
Internet
Indiainfoline brochure
Wealth Management
It was also mentioned Indian Ultra-HNWIs have unique demands in terms of products and services.
Ultra-HNWIs have high risk taking abilities as compared to HNWIs. Thus, the products offered to them
are more sophisticated and risky. Due to high invest able base and diversified needs, they also require
more customized and tailor-made services to manage their family needs as well as grow their wealth.

current state of Indian Banking industry and also prospective from global trends and how these

AMFI (April 2010) newsletter is the official quarterly review of Association of Mutual Fund in India. It
gives information about the mutual fund industry that particular quarter. The Association of Mutual
Funds in India (AMFI) is dedicated to developing the Indian Mutual Fund Industry on professional,
healthy and ethical lines and to enhance and maintain standards in all areas with a view to protect and
promote the interest of mutual funds and their unit holders. This news letter gives a clear not of how
the mutual fund companies are doing so that new investors can have a look before they invest. It talks
about the current trends and challenges in the industry. The challenge for the industry right now is to
activate, strengthen and support the distribution system, which plays a crucial role in promoting Mutual
Fund schemes among retail households. This paper gives the updates on SEBI, regulatory body meeting.
Dr. Amit Kumar Dwivedi, Punit Kumar Dwivedi, Dharmendra Kr. Singh (June 2008) in their paper on
Wealth management in India : Issues & Concerns has told that now a days the word wealth
management is becoming more important and so many banks are engaged in wealth management. They
have also given the position of India in wealth management. In the annual survey done by Cap Gemini,
SA and Merrill Lynch it was found that ranks of millionaires grew 6% in the previous year, because the
number of richer people grew in India and China where India is competing China. India & China has got
increase in millionaires by 23% & 20% respectively. So they told that there will be more wealth
management business opportunities in India and China.
They also concluded that wealth management has various aspects some are favorable and friendly for
the Indian economy and some are very dangerous for the Indian economy. The customers have to
beware and they have to make SWOT analysis before choosing the wealth management option. The
limitations given by the authors are chances of fraud, inflation.
ChandraShekhar (Jan 2008) in his article Indias wealth management business set to boom he
mentioned that Indian wealth management industry is emerging up with more opportunities. He also
quoted a report named Overview of Indian Wealth Management Market which has said that over the
next four-five years, wealth management service revenues are expected to contribute to over a third
(32-37 per cent) of full-service financial institutions. He also said that disposable income is expected to

grow from the current 2 percent to 5 percent in 2017. In 2008, Indian financial sector shares about 7 per
cent of the total national disposable income. The share of the financial institutions would grow to 18 per
cent by 2012, it is estimated.
It was forecasted that by 2012, the countrys wealth management market to be $1 trillion, with
approximately 42 million households where in it was 13 million households at that point of time.
According to the report, India is slated to become a US$1 trillion market (in assets under
management) for wealth management providers by 2012, with a target market size of 42 million
households
In the annual survey done by Cap Gemini, SA and Merrill Lynch it was found that ranks of
millionaires grew 6% in the previous year, because the number of richer people grew in India &
China where India is competing China. India & China posted the biggest gain in millionaires
advancing by 23% & 20% respectively.
When They are watching the world wide increase in number of millionaires the facts collected
by Cap Gemini, S.A. and Merrill Lynch survey report. India has 23% growth in the year (201213). The biggest Asian economy China stands on second position with 20%, west Asia 16%,
United States 4% and United Kingdom (UK) 2%. So They can understand that there is more
opportunities in the Wealth management business in Asia specially in India.

The combined wealth of the 20-million strong non-resident Indians community is estimated to be
over $2 trillion dollars -- more than the country's entire economy. Overseas Indians are estimated
to hold financial wealth, apart from real estate, gold and art, of over $900 billion. The total
wealth would be over $2 trillion, according to the report by High-Powered Expert Committee
appointed by the Centre to suggest ways to make Mumbai an international financial centre.
These NRIs were a natural beachhead as a customer base where an Indian Personal Wealth
Management industry can get started. Their wealth management services were presently being
sourced almost exclusively from abroad, the report said. The report listed 11 activities typically
provided by an international financial centre (IFC) and referred to PWM as one of the most
important activities undertaken at an IFC. According to the report, PWM for high-net worth
individuals is estimated to involve management of personal assets of $10-14 trillion globally.
Wealth Management
The acceleration in growth is driven by continued momentum in the services and manufacturing
sectors, growth of which are expected to be in double-digit figures.
India is both attracting foreign wealth managers to set up business and domestic banks to set up wealth
management businesses. Going forward this is a trend that is likely to continue, with Indias key
advantages attracting more and more competitors.
The attractiveness of Mumbai as a location for banks is backed up by the figures on deposits held by
foreign banks in India. Of the total value of deposits held by foreign banks USD16bn 49.2% is in
Maharashtra and all of this is in urban/metropolitan areas of which Mumbai is a large part.
In the view of many in the industry there is a challenge of client education that must be addressed going
forward. The primary area of concern is in equity investment and the need to invest long-term rather
than short-term. This is not a problem that is confined to India; many other countries around the globe
have similar problems.
In view of the above stated conditions, it is highly likely that over the next 20 years, wealth management
will witness significant developments in the way that clients are segmented. Following from this, client
service will change to complement the shift in emphasis, as factors other than the level of the client's
wealth are taken into consideration.
Datamonitor research indicates that there are significant benefits in the area of liability management for
the wealthy, and that the importance of liability management as part of wealth management will
inevitably grow over the next 20 years, until it becomes a key service area.

As the per-capita-income of the city is on the higher side, so it is quite obvious that they want to invest
their money in profitable ventures. On the other hand, a number of brokerage houses make sure the
hassle free investment in stocks. Asset management firms allow investors to estimate both the
expected risks and returns, as measured statistically. There are mainly two types of Portfolio
management strategies.
Passive Portfolio Strategy
Active Portfolio Strategy
Passive Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that involves minimal expectation input, and instead relies
on diversification to match the performance of some market index. A passive strategy assumes
that the marketplace will reflect all available information in the price paid for securities
Active Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that uses available information and forecasting techniques
to seek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply diversified broadly.
1) Mutual funds
A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India)
that pools money from individuals/corporate investors and invests the same in a variety of
different financial instruments or securities such as equity shares, Government securities, Bonds,
debentures etc. Mutual funds can thus be considered as financial intermediaries in the investment
business that collect funds from the public and invest on behalf of the investors. Mutual funds
issue units to the investors. The appreciation of the portfolio or securities in which the mutual
fund has invested the money leads to an appreciation in the value of the units held by investors.
The investment objectives outlined by a Mutual Fund in its prospectus are binding on the Mutual
Fund scheme. The investment objectives specify the class of securities a Mutual Fund can invest
in. Mutual Funds invest in various asset classes like equity, bonds, debentures, commercial paper
and government securities. The schemes offered by mutual funds vary from fund to fund. Some
are pure equity schemes; others are a mix of equity and bonds. Investors are also given the option
of getting dividends, which are declared periodically by the mutual fund, or to participate only in
the capital appreciation of the scheme
2)Equities
Wealth Management
Equity trading is the buying and selling of company stock shares. Shares in large publiclytraded companies are bought and sold through one of the major stock exchanges, such as
the Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange, which serve as managed auctions for
stock trades.
Share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to be one of the owners of
the company. A share is issued by a company or can be purchased from the stock market.
Share market where dealing of securities is done is known as share market. There are two ways
in which investors gets share from market:
Primary market: markets in which new securities are issued are known as primary market. This
is part of the financial market where enterprises issue their new shares and bonds. It is
characterized by being the only moment when the enterprise received money in exchange for
selling its financial assets.
Secondary Market: Market in which existing securities are dealt is known as secondary market.
The market where securities are traded after, they are initially offered in the primary market.
Most trading is done in the secondary market.
The Stock Market is an invisible market that trades in stocks of various companies belonging to
both the public and private sectors. The Indian Stock Market is often referred to as the Share
Market since it deals primarily with shares of various companies.
A Stock Exchange is a place where the stocks are listed and traded. Such exchanges may be a
corporation or mutual organization which specializes in the business of introducing the sellers
with the buyers of stocks and securities.
The Indian Stock Market in India comprises of two stock exchanges:
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)
National Stock Exchange (NSE)
BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was established in 1875.The BSE India Stock Exchange
serves as the most important for companies to raise money. The chief function of the Stock
Market of India is to help raise money as capital for the growth and expansion of various private
and public sector enterprises. Besides, the Stock Market of India provides able assistance to the
individual investors through daily updates on current position of the stocks of the respective
companies that are enlisted in the Stock Index in which the movement of prices in a section of
the market are captured in price indices. The popular acronym for Stock Index is Sensitive index
Wealth Management
or sensex. Moreover, the liquidity provided by the exchange enables the investors to sell
securities owned by them easily and quickly. Hence a person, who is subjected to sudden dearth
of funds, can immediately sell his shares for cash in India Stock Market.
The BSE Sensex, also known as BSE 30 is a widely used market index not only in India but
across Asia. In terms of volume of transactions, it is ranked among the top five stock exchanges
in the world.
NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE)
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), set up in the year 1993, is today the largest
stock exchange in India and a preferred exchange for trading in equity, debt and derivatives
instruments by investors. NSE has set up a sophisticated electronic trading, clearing and
settlement platform and its infrastructure serves as a role model for the securities industry. The
standards set by NSE in terms of market practices; products and technology have become
industry benchmarks and are being replicated by many other market participants.

equal access to investors irrespective of geographical location. The high level of information
dissemination through the on-line system has helped in integrating retail investors across the

Are you sure that crude oil prices are going to fall?
Have you heard that the soya crop this year is bad and will result in soya prices going up?
Wealth Management

some money on them, you could try your hand at playing the commodity futures market.

4) Bonds
Bonds refer to debt instruments bearing interest on maturity. In simple terms, organizations
may borrow funds by issuing debt securities named bonds, having a fixed maturity period (more
than one year) and pay a specified rate of interest (coupon rate) on the principal amount to the
holders
It is a fixed income (debt) instrument issued for a period of more than one year with the purpose of
raising capital. The central or state government, corporations and similar institutions sell bonds. A bond

manage the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds of clients considering their personal investment
goals and risk preferences. In addition to money, the portfolio managers manage the portfolio of

Management is an art and a science in itself. Portfolio Management Services (PMS) is one such service
that is fast gaining eminence as an investment avenue of choice for High Net worth Investors (HNI). PMS

leading stock broking house. At Angel, experienced portfolio management is the difference. It will advise
you on a suitable product based on factors such as your investment horizon, return expectations and

6) Loan
A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of
financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.
In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal,
from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at
a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial repayments; in
an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally provided at a cost,
referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the
loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can
also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants.
Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other
institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.
7) Insurance
Insurance is a basic form of risk management which provides protection against possible
loss to life or physical assets. A person who seeks protection against such loss is termed as
insured, and the company that promises to honor the claim, in case such loss is actually incurred
by the insured, is termed as Insurer. In order to get the insurance, the insured is required to pay to
Wealth Management
the insurance company (i.e. the insurer) a certain amount, termed as premium, on a periodical
basis (say monthly, quarterly, annually, or even one-time).

Wealth Management
Investment Objective
Based on the client profile, investment expectations and financial goals of the client could
be clearly outlined. Defining investment objectives helps to identify investment options to
be considered for evaluation. Investment objective for most of the investors could be
generally considered amongst the following:
Current Income
Growth (Capital Appreciation)
Tax Efficiency (Tax Harvesting)
Capital Preservation (often preferred by elderly people to make sure they dont outlive their
money.)

Having decided the portfolio constituents and its composition, transactions to acquire
specific instruments and identified asset class is initiated. As acquisition cost would be
having bearing on overall performance of the portfolio, many times process of asset
acquisition may be spread over a period of time to take care of market movement and
acquire the asset at favourable price range.
d)
Portfolio Management
Portfolio Administration
Based on performance evaluation and future outlook of the investment, portfolio strategy is
evaluated on periodic basis. To keep it aligned with the defined investment objectives,
portfolio strategy is suitably re-calibrated from time to time. Many times, review of
portfolio strategy would be necessitated due to change in client profile or expectations.
Rebalancing, Reallocation and Divestment of Assets
Any re-calibration of strategy and consequent change in portfolio model would require
rebalancing of the assets in portfolio. This would be achieved through rebalancing the asset
(divesting over-allocated part and acquiring under allocated), relocation (from one sector the other
from one instrument to other instrument in the same class) or complete divestment.
Wealth Management
Wealth Management
Investment Managers:
Investment Advisor: Offers strategic investment planning, as well as playing a hands-on role
in constructing, reviewing and rebalancing client portfolios.
Relationship Manager: Establishes and nurtures client relationships, delegating portfolio
management to internal or external managers.
Wealth Planners:
Wealth Planner: Offers holistic advice in accordance with clients finances and short-/longterm goals, such as real estate, retirement and generational wealth transfer.
Personal CFO: Aspires to provide quasi family-office services, often acting in a lead
discretionary role coordinating with the clients other trusted advisors.
The significance of these practice-model categories is that each reflects a different advisory
approach, borne of a different perspective. While some firms claim to have a single practice
orientation, many actually use multiple models in and across regionsand often leverage
different models within their core markets to capitalize on the strengths of individual
advisors. As they move into new markets, firms can create or exacerbate friction among the
different advisory approaches they use. Importantly, practice orientations need not be
mutually exclusive, but the mix of intra-firm practice models does need to be consciously
managed.

Technically, PMS can be defined as hybrid service provided by portfolio managers, which
includes customised stock and mutual fund investing. Portfolio managers can be of two
kinds, discretionary or non-discretionary. Discretionary portfolio managers manage the
funds of clients independently on their own accord, while the latter manage the funds
according to their clients direction. Any person who is registered with Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Sebi) as a portfolio manager is allowed to offer PMS.
PMS vs Wealth manager and fund manager.
PMS is completely different from priority banking and Wealth management. Priority
banking or Wealth management is the umbrella of products while PMS is a product. So if
priority banking and Wealth management is a grocery shop then PMS is a specific grocery.
Priority banking is usually offered to premiere customers who have a relationship manager
appointed, who would advice you on your investments across the products offered by the
bank like insurance, and investment linked products (mutual funds, bonds and unit linked
insurance plan).
Mutual funds and PMS differ on the degree of customization, minimum investment and on
the fee structure. Minimum investment required for PMS is more than mutual fund.
Unlike PMS, there is no concept of profit sharing in mutual funds. Also, the level of
customization of your investments is higher in PMS.
Wealth Management
PMS is for those people who dont have the time or the expertise to do enough research to
take informed investment decisions. If you have the required time and expertise, then you
dont need these services. Also, SEBI has prescribed a minimum of Rs 5 lakh investment
for PMS, which means the service is not for small and medium investors.
Risks involved. Though PMS is a good option for managing your Wealth, it is not entirely
without risk or pain. B.D. Sabu, executive director, Pylon Engineers (India), had opted for
Kotaks PMS services. Though the relationship manager told me about the commissions
and brokerage fees, he did no promise any cut-off or absolute number when asked about
returns. The market was moving up when I invested and my money grew to about one and
half times. But when the market tumbled suddenly, my earnings fell substantially. He
adds, The company churned the portfolio frequently, which gave them two-way profit on
each transaction, as brokerage and profit sharing. Sabu now feels it is better to
understand the market and invest on your own. He withdrew his investments after 14
months, even though he got returns of 25 per cent. Outlook Money tried unsuccessfully to
get a response from Kotak Securities on this episode.
How to choose a PMS
Investment philosophy. Akhilesh Singh, business head, Emkay Wealth, says, The
most important factor is to understand the fund managers investment philosophy and
strategy, which must align with the investors objectives. Singh adds, Some portfolio
managers structure long-term portfolios, while some prefer to actively churn the portfolio
for higher short-term returns, which adds to the overall cost and tax liability.
IIFL, for instance, has a product called Strategic, which is for the long term, while Angels
Bluechip is for medium to long-term investors.
Scheme benchmarks. Make sure that the portfolio is benchmarked to an
appropriate index. This helps measure the performance of the scheme and the portfolio
manager. Benchmarks are important also as profit-sharing is linked to the performance of
the portfolio above the benchmark. So, an aggressive portfolio benchmarked to a lowreturn index will mean higher over-the-benchmark returns. This means that you will have
to share a larger portion of your profit. The wrong benchmark distorts the performance of
the fund.
Minimum investment.There are many portfolio managers whose thresholds are
much higher than the Sebi-mandated minimum of Rs 5 lakh. Choose a scheme that fits the
size of your portfolio.
Returns. It is difficult to judge a schemes performance based on returns, as it may
vary from the returns of an investor. Also, depending on the time of entry, an investors
returns may vary from that of others. Before signing the contract, make sure your portfolio
manager has a fair record of surpassing the returns from the benchmark index for
numerous years.
I.V. Subramaniam, CEO and chief investment officer, Quantum Advisors, says: The
performance should be judged over long periods of time during both high and low market
levels. There should not be any survivor bias. This happens when an investor withdraws a
portfolio due to bad performance, or a portfolio manager removes a portfolio to show the
performance numbers of only good portfolios.
Wealth Management
Cost structure.
Portfolio managers usually have two kinds of chargesmanagement fee, which is fixed,
and profit sharing, which is variable. You can also pay a fully fixed fee. Further, if the
portfolio is churned frequently, it adds to the cost due to higher tax and brokerage. On
each transaction you pay brokerage and short-term gains tax of 20 per cent. Management
fee ranges from scheme to scheme. You could opt for a higher performance-linked charge
as it puts pressure on the fund manager to perform better as he has a share in the profits.
Frequency of disclosure.
This varies from firm to firm, and largely depends on the agreement between the investor
and the company. Most NAVs are disclosed daily, but you can opt for a company that also
discloses portfolios daily.
Broking house. If the broker is internal, it may be possible that your portfolio is
churned frequently. Usually, asset management companies have external brokers, while
some, such as Religare, have both external as Well as internal broking.
Assets under management (AUM).Though higher AUMs do not guarantee
higher returns, it remains an important factor. A low AUM could be an indicator of poor
performance. They believe that Rs 100 core AUM is a healthy floor.

1996
A small group of professionals formed an Information Services Company*
The company was formed in October 1995 with a vision to produce high quality, unbiased, independent
research on the Indian economy, business, industries and corporates.
*The company was originally incorporated as Probity Research and Services Pvt.Ltd. The name of the
company was later changed to India Infoline Ltd
1997
The quality gets recognition
The quality of this research soon resulted in a client list that read like a who's who of Indian business
and finance, from Hindustan Lever To Tatas, from Crisil to McKinsey, from SBI to Citibank.
1998
Onwards and upwards!
We launched our research products Probity 200 Company Reports, followed Economy Probe, Sector
Reports covering Pharmaceuticals, Information Technology, Oil & Gas and FMCG among others. Leading
FIIs, brokers, banks and companies were immediate subscribers.
1999
The launch of www.indiainfoline.com
Up popped a crazy idea if all this research were to be available free on the internet, the number of
users could well leap straight from hundreds to millions. We took the plunge and thus
www.indiainfoline.com was born! CDC(now Actis) was the first private equity firm to invest US$1mn.
2000
Launched online trading through www.5paisa.com
This was the year we became one of the pioneers of online trading, with the launch of 5paisa.com, a
paradigm shift, with full service brokerage at 0.05% when the industry was at 1-1.5%. we received
growth capital from Intel and others in this year of 'dot-com euphoria'.
2001
Dot com bust- and preparations for better times!
Wealth Management
The 'internet bubble' burst with a vengeance and funding just vanished. we persevered, nevertheless,
with laying the foundations of our distribution business, becoming India's first Corporate Agent for
Insurance, tying up with ICICI Prudential Life Insurance.
2002
Difficult year Survive without losing focus
There was global gloom. The internet bubble burst, the economy witnessed a slowdown and the stock
market was paralysed by the Ketan Parekh scam. We conserved resources, focused on survival and
avoided any distractions, which were away from our core competencies i.e. financial services.
2003
Trader Terminal Our proprietary software to revolutionize online trading
Convinced that technology was game changer, we launched the 'Trader Terminal', a pioneering
technology that we built over 3 years, shall we call it retail investor's Bloomberg. The product became an
instant hit and remains sought after even to this date.
2004
Our commodities license
We were again at the forefront to offer commodities broking to retail investors. A coincidence may be,
but this was when our magical linkage between transactional and advisory expertise began.
2005
Our Maiden IPO the tipping point
Listing on the NSE and BSE gave impetus and momentum to expansion, scaling up and funding. It was
again full steam ahead. The IPO was at Rs15.2(adjusted for split) and shareholders have received Rs15.7
by way of dividend. The price was Rs60.65 as at FY13 end.
2006
Commenced our lending business
This was another major move for our group from fee-based to fund-based business. From a modest
beginning with all processes and controls, the NBFC was later to become the most dominant business
line.
2007
From retail to wholesale Institutional Equities begins with a bang
Wealth Management
A high profile institutional team from the then leading foreign brokerage house joined us in what was a
first deal of its kind in the Indian broking industry, making IIFL the port of first call for FIIs and Mutual
Funds.
2008
Launched IIFL Private Wealth Management
IIFL Wealths business model, in contrast to the traditional industry's practice of driving revenues
through distribution and commission, focuses on advisory fees as core income, ensuring alignment of
interests with those of our clients. Meanwhile, we transitioned from a corporate agent to insurance
broking.
2009
Enterprising India
Our first global investor conference, Enterprising India, held in 2009-10, received an overwhelming
response. It was attended by 450 fund managers, 67 corporates and thought leaders like Jim Walker,

4 - Summary of Findings
1. The level of awareness of the IIFL customers towards its wealth products is 60%
which is less.
2. Most of the customers are aware of SIP and insurance. The percentages are as
follows.
3. It was found from the data that customers are mostly into other banks when compared
to IIFL. Investments are mostly done with other banks.
6. Generally the customers who are aware of these products provided by IIFL came to
know through mostly through RM only.
7. The general reason behind customers not investing in wealth products in IIFL was
derived to be lack of knowledge at the time of investment.
Wealth Management
As part of my primary research, I took some informal interviews from the wealth
managers. The sample size is 15 managers who are part of IIFL Advance.
Customers are more concerned with risk and return, tax protection from wealth
management process.
Customer ask question related to how their wealth is managed, details about the
investment product etc.
Customers are mostly interested to invest in Mutual Funds and SIPs mainly.
Wealth manager see very huge potential market in middle income group which
have monthly income of 50k to 1lakhs.
The major problems in the wealth management sector are very dynamic markets
and having the consistency in payments by the customer.
The problems can be overcome by convincing the customers, going for long term
investments, investing in sectors where you have low risk low returns.
Wealth Management
Wealth Management
4.3 - Recommendations
IIFL should target the mass affluent segment and satisfy their wealth management
needs through innovative financial solutions.
IIFL should also start promotion campaigns about wealth management and importance
of investments on wealth products because many people are unaware of these
services.
IIFL should increase its branching across the major cities in India because presently its
operations in India are very less.
IIFL should start providing more customization as other banks like HDFC, ICICI do so
that it can compete with them.
IIFL should build upon its strengths and enhance its competitive advantage to stay
ahead of competition.
The Relationship Managers must be made aware of the importance of activity
management. The habit of daily reporting and monitoring of activities should be
promoted.
A number of global marketing initiatives act as opportunities because it will continue to
build the IIFL brand.
Wealth management is still emerging in India so it will be good for IIFL if it takes the
Wealth Management
New branch banking licenses have been granted to foreign banks such as Australia
New Zealand Bank, National Australian Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and
Credit Suisse. Competition will continue to be tough with local players, both in the
private and public sector, so IIFL should be aggressive before these banks become.
4.4 - Limitations
My research was undertaken only in Hyderabad Region.
They also should improve their operations in India so that they can increase their
market share and also create convenience to the existing customers.
Wealth Management
4.7 Conclusion
Wealth managers are beginning to investigate innovative segmentation methods to manage the
changing client profile. Over the next 20 years wealth managers will hone their segmentation
methods. Wealth managers will develop segmentation as a service efficiency initiative. Segmentation
models will apply holistic criteria to wealth management. The most important segments globally will
be entrepreneurs and SMES/ CEOs. Financial advisers will become an important separate client
segment for wealth managers The organization of direct client ownership will also change
Availability and flexibility will become vital components of the business model Internal restructuring
will aim to integrate client services. The rise of the mass affluent represents an opportunity for wealth
managers in the medium term Wealth managers will capture the higher value mass affluent market
by offering a scaled down wealth management service. The mass affluent proposition will run along
the lines of the current wealth management service. Liability management is currently not part of the
wealth management agenda but has proven potential. Clients in developed markets are seeking more
holistic wealth management services Liability management is clearly a profitable area with a proven
existing client base. The incorporation of lending into wealth management will shift the focus of the
service. Specialist forms of lending will fail due to a persistence of the asset focused service model
and a lack of commitment. There are significant benefits in the area of liability management for the
wealthy, and that the importance of liability management as part of wealth management will
inevitably grow over the next 20 years, until it becomes a key service area. Rising income and wealth
inequalities, if not matched by a corresponding rise of incomes across the nation, can lead to social
unrest. An area of great concern is the level of ostentatious expenditure on weddings and other family
Wealth Management
events. Such vulgarity insults the poverty of the less privileged, it is socially wasteful and it plants
the seeds of resentment in the minds of the have-nots.
I am much thankful to india infoline for providing me the opportunity for doing training
programme in the organization as management trainee. While doing my sip in the reputed
broking firm India infoline I had got a chance for knowing and analyzing the share market. I
was also able to know about the business environment and business ethics of the business
world. I also came to know about what does a firm or an organization require or wants from
a employee or a trainee. From the survey, I found that India infoline is in the top three
position in the share market.
