 PREFACE

Theories are being developed, designed and stated on the groundwork of their practical
implementation and usage. Work experience seems to be the most effective and
indispensable factor of making an individual an adept. This is because one can not do
without being exposed to varying circumstances and possible consequences. Training not
only develops individual skills and abilities but also provides proficiency in work
performance.

This report served as a means to share my personal experiences while working on this
project which provided me the platform where I was face to face with practical aspects of
theoretical knowledge gained so far.
This training project report has been prepared during the summer training in an
organization. It is an integral part of BBA curriculum. The summer training was challenging,
gainful and interesting and it gave real insight of corporate world.

I sincerely believe that there is no better place to learn the practical side of management
studies than the industry itself.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I express my sincere thanks to my project guide, Ms. Poonam Swami, lecturer, Poddar
International College for guiding me right form the inception till the successful completion of
the project. I sincerely acknowledge him/her/them for extending their valuable guidance,
support for literature, critical reviews of project and the report and above all the moral

 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Currently the financial market all over the world is undergoing a major transition and their
role in the global economy is in the process of redefinition. The composition of the market is
changing very rapidly and due to which there emerges a need for an expert knowledge and
service by which the risk of the investor can be reduced. And all this is done through a
service known as the wealth management service, which is provided by the various banks
these days. So what are actually wealth management services?

Wealth management is a vast concept which comprises of managing the wealth i.e. the
surplus amount of money or the savings of an individual by investing them into diversified
tools like mutual funds, insurance ,gold, real estate, Fd’s, Equities, debts, etc. so that the
wealth of an individual can be maximized. In other words it is an all-encompassing investor
service which comprises of investment advisory, management of investments ranging from
insurance to stocks, and maximizing returns on investments. The project basically deals
with the study of wealth management services, its products and the services provided by
the various banks to its client. Through which a comparison could be made among the
various bank’s wealth management services.

About the company: HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services
organizations in the world. HSBC's international network comprises over 10,000 offices in
83 countries. Through an international network linked by advanced technology, including a
rapidly growing e-commerce capability, HSBC provides a comprehensive range of financial
services like: Personal Financial Services, Commercial Banking, Corporate, Investment
Banking, and Private Banking.

Initially in the first week of the summer internship program it was basically studying about
the basic concept of wealth management, the services provided by HSBC and the products
dealt in by HSBC in respect of wealth management services. In HSBC and all other banks
the product which are used for investments are all related to equity e.g. Mutual funds, unit
link insurance plan, systematic investment plan, etc.
With the starting of the second week of the summer internship program it was all about
collecting the information through various company’s website and broachers about the
various services provided by different banks and institutions which helped in pitching the
clients for the wealth management services for HSBC. It was an also an effort to find out
the extra services or facilities which were provided by HSBC and not by the other banks
and by this tried to convince the clients. After that our company guide guided us to do few
cold calls which would help us in understanding the needs and want of the customers and
their satisfaction levels from their present financial institutions. As by this time we were very
much known to the different products and services provided by our bank which eventually
helped us in making the clients understand the benefits of availing these services.
With the help of this project we also found out, how customer’s Need is is generated and
what the customer intend to have keeping in mind his current and future needs.

In the fourth and fifth week of the summer internship program we started preparing the
questionnaire based on the information gathered above. The questionnaire which is
prepared is of two kinds one is based on the investors and the other one is based on the
institution.

Through the questionnaire of investor a comparison would be made regarding the services
provided by the various banks and the satisfaction level of the client.
While the questionnaire of the institution would help me to study about the services
provided by the particular bank and about their special feature, which is the USP of the
bank and its services. This (USP) is basically helping out the bank to attract new clients and
satisfying them.
The main intension for preparing the Questionnaire is to know and judge that; how various
factors such as, the Product, Profession knowledge, Tax planning Schemes, Return of the
Investments, Additional services, etc have an impact on the client while selecting the bank’s
wealth management services.
As the major objectives of the study is to make a comparison between the wealth
management services provided by various bank in Jaipur.
On the completion of the project it is found that HSBC has an edge over other banks in
context of the services provided i.e. services beyond the banking services.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Wealth management is a vast concept which comprises of managing the wealth i.e. the
surplus amount of money or the savings of an individual by investing them into diversified
tools like mutual funds, insurance ,gold, real estate, Fd’s, Equities, debts, etc. so that the
wealth of an individual can be maximized.

It is a investment advisory service covering financial planning keeping in mind the

individuals current and future need .It provides the individual with personalized banking,
asset management, taxation advisory and portfolio management .Earlier people use to
restrict their investment to only real estate, gold, FD’s but after the emergence of the equity
market (stock market )the investment portfolio of the investors increased and as the
investment in the equity market requires knowledge about it ,so the need or the importance
of wealth management services was felt. In wealth management services the banks
provides their clients with a specialist person who has good domain knowledge about the
stock market as well as in other lucrative products through which the risk of the client can
be reduced and his wealth could be maximized and tax planning could be done. This
specialist person is known as the PFR (personalized financial reviewer). The specialist
invests on the behalf of its client and on a regular basis guides the client about his current
and future needs. Currently a number of private banks and financial institutions are
providing are providing wealth management services such as CitiGroup, HSBC,ICICI,ABN
AMRO etc. So in the end we can say that wealth management is not just sticking to your
budget but more than that which is one of the right approach and a customized solution to
fulfill once current and future needs.

DESCRIPTION OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Before understanding the concept of wealth management first let us understand what
actually wealth is
Wealth is an old English word “weal” which means “well being”. The term was originally an
adjective to describe the possession of great qualities.
It is described as an abundance of items of economic value, or the state of controlling or
possessing such items, usually in the form of money, real estate and personal property.
In economics wealth refers to value of assets owned minus the value of liabilities owned at
a point of time. It is categorized into three principal categories: personal property including
home or automobiles, monetary savings such as accumulation of past income, and
business assets including real estate, stocks and bonds.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Wealth management is classified as an advanced type of financial planning which provides
the high net worth individuals (HNI) and families with private banking, estate planning, asset
management and investment management services with the goal of sustaining and growing
the long term wealth of an individual.

The history of wealth management can be traced back from the 1990’s when this term
originated in the U.S. with the brokers dealers, banks and insurance companies. The
concept of wealth management was generally evolved for the high net worth individual
(HNI) who had surplus amount of money with them and which could be invested in various
types of investment avenues, insurance and banking products and services.
With the repeal of the glass steagall act in 1999 now all the financial firms are able to
provide the above services from the same office.

For the wealth management services the targeted clients are:

 High net individual (HNI)

 Ultra high net worth individual (UHNWI)

The services covered under the wealth management services are:

 Portfolio management rebalancing,

 Investment management and strategies,
 Financing tax advisory
 Estate planning

In terms of product it includes stocks and stocks trading, equity linked and structured saving
products, mutual funds, foreign currency and alternative investments like art, wine, precious
metals, and property.
The reason for the emergence of wealth management services is that until 1990’s the
investment of the individual was largely restricted to real estate, bonds, fixed deposit and
gold .But now with the passage of time and with the emergence of new financial investment
avenues like mutual funds, ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan) etc which are developed
around the equities, which require a In-depth knowledge of the product as well as about the
market conditions. Theses instrument have a higher risk and higher return attached to
them. Due to the higher risk involvement as well as due to the high volatility of the product
the need for a specialist emerged who could manage the wealth of the high net worth
individual(HNI) ,these people who manages the wealth of the client are known as the as the
wealth managers.

Under the wealth management services a portfolio of the client is made and then it is
managed. This portfolio is prepared after doing the personalized financial review. In the
banking industry a portfolio of a client only comprises of mutual funds, debt, insurance etc.
Below first let us understand the concept of portfolio management and personalized
financial review.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Portfolio management is one of the services provided

under the wealth management services. It is basically a pool of individual investments
owned by an individual. It usually contains a combination of stocks, mutual funds, bonds
and money market instruments. It is an investment portfolio technique that aims to balance
risk and create diversification by dividing assets among major categories such as cash,
bonds, stocks, real estate and derivatives.

Goals of a portfolio management:

1. Maximize the value of the portfolio

2. Seek balance in the portfolio
3. Keep portfolio projects strategically aligned

PERSONALIZED FINANCIAL REVIEW: Personalized financial review (PFR) is

personalized to suit individual and hopes and aspirations. A PFR is a tool that assists in
analyzing client’s financial situation and present and future needs of the client by taking into
consideration his lifestyle, investment objectives, income stability, risk profile and financial
obligations.
A financial planner or portfolio manager or financial advisory manager uses the information
taken through the PFR to draw up a comprehensive financial plan that incorporates the
most suitable financial program or the plan that are available on the basis of best value to
the client.
By this a combination of deposits, mutual funds, insurance schemes, FD’s and various
other investments are prepared which suits the clients plan and his risk appetite .The aim of
the personalized financial review is to make a sketch about the clients investment style as
well as to help the financial advisor to understand the client’s needs and wants so that they
can work closely with the client and achieve his financial goals.

ASSET ALLOCATION: Asset allocation is the distribution of assets among a variety of

different asset categories such as stocks, bonds, and cash equivalent instruments. The
principle of asset allocation offers investors several potential advantages such as:
1) Reducing emotional response to market volatility, allowing the investor to stay
invested over the long term.
2) Helping to minimize overall portfolio risk for a given level of return.
3) Seeking to provide more consistent long-term performance that can improve the
likelihood of achieving a desired investment goal over time.
4) Encouraging a long-term investment perspective.

Services undertake in wealth management services:

1) Private banking: under the wealth management services the client gets the benefit of
private banking. These clients are basically the high net worth individuals (HNWIs)
who have the surplus amount of money which is generally more than an average
person and because of which they have various means to have access to a large
variety of conventional and alternative investments.

In addition to providing exclusive investment-related advice, private banking also

goes beyond managing investments to address a client's entire financial situation.
Under wealth management services there are various services among which some
of the services include: protecting and growing assets in the present, providing
 specialized financing solutions, planning retirement and passing wealth on to future
generations.

2) Wealth creation: the major objective of wealth management services is to enhance

the wealth of the client through proper financial planning and investing the client’s
money into a diversified portfolio so that the wealth of the client can increases and
his risk could be reduced.

3) Retirement benefit planning: under this plan an estimate is prepared for the future
requirements of the client taking into consideration his current needs. In this plan a
planning is done for the source of income for the client after his retirement. After the
retirement of the client the bank provides the pension to the client on a regular basis.

4) Child education planning and children’s marriage planning: under this plan also an
estimate is prepared for the future requirements of the money when the children of
the client opt for higher study. This is done by regularly saving the amount and
investing the same amount into a diversified portfolio so that returns at that time
could be generated.

5) Managing the portfolio: Portfolio Management is an art and science of making

decisions about investment mix and policy, matching investments to objectives,
asset allocation for individuals and institutions, and balancing the risk against
performance.

6) Portfolio management service: Portfolio management is all about strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs.
international, growth vs. safety, and many other tradeoffs encountered in the attempt
to maximize return at a given appetite for risk. So, under the wealth management
services it is the duty of the relationship manager to manage the portfolio of the client
according to the client’s needs his risk appetite.

7) Asset management/Allocation service: Asset allocation is an investment portfolio

technique that aims to balance risk and create diversification by dividing assets
among major categories such as cash, bonds, stocks, real estate and derivatives.
Each asset class has different levels of return and risk, so each will behave
 differently over time. So it is the duty and role of a portfolio manager to allocate the
funds or the assets in the right proportion so that the returns on the investments
could be generated effectively.

8) Investment management: it is a professional management of investments that are

done into various securities (shares, bonds etc) assets (e.g. real estate), to meet
specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Here Investors may be the
institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations etc.) or private
investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective
investment schemes e.g. mutual funds). Investment management services includes
elements of financial analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation
and ongoing monitoring of investments

DIMENSIONS OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Before choosing a wealth management service there are few thing that a customer expects
these are
 1.3.1) THE CLIENT RELATIONSHIP: the first component is relates to
communication and reporting, education and risk assessment of the investor which
governs the client relationship.

 1.3.2) PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION, PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

EXPERTISE AND DISCIPLINE: the second area of expertise that relates to is the
asset management and allocation, expertise in constructing and planning and
managing the assets so that the primary objective of the client can be fulfilled.

 1.3.3) RETURNS: the primary objective of any investor is to maximize expected

returns from his investment, subject to various constraints, primarily risk. Returns are
the motivating force, inspiring the investor in the form of reward for undertaking the
investment. The importance of returns in any investment decision can be traced to
the following factors:

• It enables investors to compare alternative investment in terms of what they have to

offer the investor.

• Measurement of the historical (past) returns enables the investors to assess how
well they have done.

• Measurement of historical returns also helps in estimation of future returns

We can now say that there are two types of return they are:
 Realized return: This is the ex -post (after the fact) return that was or could have
been earned.
  Expected return: this is the return from an asset that investors anticipate or expect to
earn over some future period. The expected return is subject to uncertainty, or risk,
and may or may not occur.

 1.3.4) RISK: risk and return go hand in hand in investments and finance. One cannot
talk about returns without talking about risk, because, investment decision always
involve a trade-off between risk and return. Risk can be defined as the chance that
the actual outcome from an investment will differ from the expected outcome. This
means that, more variable the possible outcome that can occur, the greater the risk.
JUSTIFICATION FOR ADOPTING WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES

1) Unclear investment objectives: this is one of the major causes why one should avail
wealth management services; mostly people are not clear about the objective which
leads them to dissatisfaction. By availing wealth management services the bank, the
bank’s advisor can help the client as well as they can understand his objectives.
Every client has different objectives such as to preserve the capital, to change the
lifestyle, to multiple the money (maximization of returns) etc.
2) Incomplete understanding: generally it happens that people are not aware of the
market conditions as well as about the product and due to which they invest
inappropriately and due to which their portfolio gives them less returns. A bank which
provides the customer with theses services has a research team that keeps the track
of the market conditions theses people are the professional and have a good
experience. So In order to maximize return one should go for wealth management
services.
3) Inappropriate understanding regarding the diversification: it is known to everyone
that how important diversification is. So one has to keep his portfolio diversified but
due to lack of knowledge one does not understand the concept of under diversified
and over diversified by keeping the portfolio over diversified the significance of
keeping the individual holding reduces while on the other hand keeping the portfolio
under diversified leads to higher risk on the individual’s holding. Again for this one
should avail wealth management services so as to keep the portfolio balanced.
4) Insufficient knowledge regarding the tax laws or the avenues available: there are lot
of products that are tax free as well as there are product in which there is some time
horizon after which the invested products get a tax rebate so for availing tax
 redemption one should take the advice of an expert and should go for wealth
management services.

INVESTMENT AVENUES AS A PART OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT

SERVICES PROVIDE BY THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Mutual funds: A mutual fund is essentially a diversified portfolio of financial instruments -

these could be equities, debentures / bonds or money market instruments. A mutual fund is
created by pooling together contributions from various investors. The corpus of the fund is
then deployed in investment alternatives that help to meet predefined investment
objectives.

The fund (and through it, its investors) receives help in achieving the common investment
objectives from its fund manager. The fund compensates its fund manager through a fee,
and also bears the other expenses incurred in managing it. The income earned through
these investments, and the capital appreciation realized by the fund, are shared by its
investors in proportion to the number of units of the fund owned by them (pro rata). Thus a
Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity
to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low
cost.

Types of Mutual Funds

Mutual fund schemes can be classified on the basis of their structure and there investment
objective

By Structure:
Open-ended Funds
An Open-ended Fund is that kind of fund that are available for subscription all through the
year. These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at
Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices.

Close-ended Funds
A Close-ended Fund has a stipulated maturity period, which generally ranges from 3 to 15
years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest
in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the
units of the scheme on the Stock Exchanges, if they are listed. The market price at the
stock exchange could vary from the scheme's NAV on account of demand and supply
situation, unit holders' expectations and other market factors.
By Investment Objective:
Growth Funds
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term.
Such schemes normally invest a majority of their corpus in equities. Growth schemes are
ideal for investors who have a long-term outlook and are seeking growth over a period of
time.

Income Funds
The aim of Income Funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such
schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures
and Government securities.

Income Funds are ideal for capital stability and regular income. Capital appreciation in such
funds may be limited, though risks are typically lower than that in a growth fund.

Balanced Funds
The aim of Balanced Funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes
periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income
securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. This proportion affects the
risks and the returns associated with the balanced fund - in case equities are allocated a
higher proportion, investors would be exposed to risks similar to that of the equity market.

Balanced funds with equal allocation to equities and fixed income securities are ideal for
investors looking for a combination of income and moderate growth.

Money Market Funds

The aim of Money Market Funds is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and
moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer short-term instruments such as
Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposit, Commercial Paper and Inter-Bank Call Money.
Returns on these schemes may fluctuate depending upon the interest rates prevailing in the
market.

These are ideal for corporate and individual investors as a means to park their surplus
funds for short periods.
Other Equity Related Schemes:

Mutual fund schemes may be classified on the basis of their structure and its investment
objective

Tax Saving Schemes

These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the Indian
Income Tax laws, as the Government offers tax incentives for investment in specified
avenues.

Investments made in Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) and Pension Schemes are
allowed as deduction under Section 80c of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.

Sectoral Schemes
Sectoral Funds are those which invest exclusively in specified sector(s) such as FMCG,
Information Technology, Pharmaceuticals, etc. These schemes carry higher risk as
compared to general equity schemes as the portfolio is less diversified, i.e. restricted to
sector(s) / industry (ies).

Plans under mutual funds

In order to cater to a range of investor needs, there are various investment plans.

Some of the important investment plans include:

Growth Plan
Dividend is not paid-out under a Growth Plan and the investor realizes only the capital
appreciation on the investment.

Income Plan
Dividends are paid-out to investors under an Income Plan to the investors. However, the
NAV of the mutual fund scheme under an Income Plan falls to the extent of the dividend
payout.

Dividend Re-investment Plan

in this the dividend accrued on mutual funds is automatically re-invested in purchasing
additional units in open-ended funds. In most cases mutual funds offer the investor an
option of collecting dividends or re-investing the same.
Retirement Pension Plan
some schemes are linked with retirement pension. Individuals participate in these plans for
themselves, and corporate participate for their employees.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)

Here the investor is given the option of preparing a pre-determined number of post-dated
cheques in favor of the fund. The investor is allotted units on the date of the respective
cheques at the applicable NAV.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

As opposed to the Systematic Investment Plan, the Systematic Withdrawal Plan allows the
investor the facility to withdraw a pre-determined amount / units from his fund at a pre-
determined interval. The investor's units will be redeemed at the applicable NAV as on that
day.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS

Following are the major advantages of investing in Mutual Fund:

Portfolio Diversification/Risk reduction: An investor holds a diversified portfolio even with

a small amount of investment, which would otherwise require a big capital. Further, as the
funds are invested in diversified portfolios, hence it reduces the riskiness of the
investments.

Reduction of transaction costs: -While investing through the funds, an investor has the
benefit of economies of scale; the funds incur lesser costs because of larger volumes, a
benefit passed on to its investors.

Professional Management: Mutual funds are managed by professionals who have

requisite skills and resources to analyze the various investment options in these fast-
moving, global and sophisticated markets.

Liquidity: Often, investors hold shares or bonds they cannot directly, easily and quickly
sell. If they invest in the units of a fund, they can generally cash their investment any time,
by selling their units to the fund if open-end, or selling them in the market if the fund is
close-end.
Convenience and flexibility: - Investors have the option of transferring their holdings from
one scheme to the other, get updated market information and so on.

Tax Benefits: Income tax benefits are granted to investors in mutual funds, making it more
tax efficient as compared to other comparable investment avenues. There are various types
of Tax incentives for the investors of mutual funds. There are various sections of the Income
Tax Act that provide for the tax rebates and exemptions on investments in mutual funds and
the income arising thereof.
Other advantages
 Convenient Administration
 Return Potential
 Well regulated

Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS)

An ELSS fund is similar to an equity fund but has a lock-in period of three years. According
to the central government's Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS) guideline, 1992 and the
amendment in 1998, these schemes offer tax rebates to the investor under section 88 of
the Income tax act, 1961. Also these schemes generally diversify the equity risk by
investing in a wider array of stocks across sectors.

The investor also gets benefit on account of a three year lock-in period which gives the fund
enough time to take both the upswing as well as downswing of the market conditions in its
stride. As the funds remain with the fund manager for at least 3 years, the fund manager
too has enough leeway to play with a fixed corpus and can take long-term calls on any
scrip. Which is generally not the case with any normal open-end scheme and so the
performance vary in short-term. And as they have the feature of tax redemption they have a
better capital appreciation than others.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)

In this the investor is given the option of managing his investments on a periodic basis and
thus inculcates a regular saving habit. He may issue a pre-determined number of post-
dated cheques in favor of the fund. He gets the units on the date of the cheque at the NAV
of that date.

Based on the concept of rupee cost averaging, SIP's allow an investor to invest a prefixed
amount with a scheme at set intervals, and derive the benefit of fluctuating share prices
and NAV's. So, when the share price drops, the investor get more units and when the
share price moves up, he gets less. Finally, if the NAV is high, his entire investment is
valued at the existing higher level, while his cost of purchase averages out.

ULIP

ULIP stands for unit liked insurance plan. It provides for life insurance where the policy
value at any time varies according to the value of the underlying assets at the time, ULIP is
a life insurance solution that provides for investment. It also provides solutions for
insurance planning, financial needs, financial planning for children’s future and retirement
planning. The investment is denoted as unit and is represented by the value that it has
attained called net asset value (NAV). ULIP has tax exemption under section 80 c of the
Indian Income Tax Act 1961 and also returns will be covered under section 10 (10 D).

Features of Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP)

ULIP distinguishes itself through the multiple benefits that it provides to the consumer. The
plan is a one-stop solution providing:

1) Life Protection

2) Investment and savings

3) FlexibilityGB

4) Adjustable Life cover

5) Investment options

6) Transparency

7) Options to take additional cover against death due to accident

8) Disability

9) Critical Illness

10) Surgeries

11) Liquidity

12) Tax Planning

Advantages of unit linked insurance plan

Unit-linked plans have several advantages. They are:

 Simple, clear and easy to understand

 Transparent and visible for customers to take decisions

 Flexible and adaptable

 Puts the policyholder in control

 Policyholder gets the entire upside on the performance of his fund.

FIXED DEPOSIT

A fixed deposit is meant for those investors who want to deposit a lump sum amount of
money for a fixed period of time, say for a minimum period of 15 days to five years and
above, thereby earning a higher rate of interest in return. Investor gets a lump sum
(principal + interest) at the maturity of the deposit.

Bank fixed deposits are one of the most common savings scheme open to an average
investor. Fixed deposits also give a higher rate of interest than a savings bank account.
The facilities vary from bank to bank. Some of the facilities offered by banks are overdraft
(loan) facility on the amount deposited, premature withdrawal before maturity period (which
involves a loss of interest) etc.

IPO

Initial public offering, or IPO, is the first sale of stock by a company to the public. It is also
one of the components of wealth management which is a direct dealing of an investor in the
share market. It has a feature of higher risk and higher return. One can multiple his money
or wealth very quickly by investing into this avenue.

ARBITRAGE FUNDS
Arbitrage is one of the most effective ways to insulate against market volatility. An arbitrage
fund buys equities in the cash market and simultaneously sells in the futures market, thus
ensuring market neutrality for the investment. In other words, it is a unique asset class by
itself where returns are generated by capturing the pricing differential between the cash and
the futures markets. It is also termed as a market-neutral fund where the returns are not
going to be impacted by volatility in the market
REVIEW ON EXISTING LITERATURE

 According to the recent released study of Capgemini and Merrill Lynch in the year
2009 the number of high net worth individuals (HNI) in India grew at 14.6 percent
which was twice of the world’s growth of 7.3 percent in 2004. Which shows that the
need for the wealth management services is increasing day by day as well as the
there is a lot of potential available in the market

 According to Mr. Sherman Tan, principal consultant and director at Innovar Pvt .Ltd:
China’s domestic product grew by 10.7 percent in 2006 which was the fastest in the
span of 11 years and the World Bank predicts that china’s economy will grow by 10
percent and industry observer noted that the nation has good chance of becoming
the 3rd largest economic power by 2008. Also Goldman Sachs indicates that if India
can sustain an annual growth rate of 8 percent till 2020, it will overtake the UK as the
world’s fifth largest economy by 2015.

And with such high growth in the region, Asia pacific will remains one of the
largest and the fastest growing market for private banking. It is also estimated that
over a quarter of the world’s 9 million high-net-worth individuals (HWNI) who
possess at least US $1M in net assets are located in the Asia pacific region. This
again shows the scope of the wealth management services in the near future. And

RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research design constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of
the data. Basically research design is the plan and structure of investigation so conceived
as to obtain answers to research question.
The kind of research design used for the completion of our project study is a combination of
exploratory cum descriptive study.
Exploratory study: it is a kind of study in which the researcher is not clear with the idea of
problem. Exploratory study help the researcher to develop the concept more clearly,
establish priorities, develop operational definitions and improve the final research design.

may draw conclusion about the entire population. It is an n essentially part of research
process.
Convenience sampling: it is a kind of sampling in which the selection of units from the
population is based on the easy availability and accessibility to the researcher.
Convenience sampling is at its best in the survey dealing with the exploratory purpose for

DATA COLLECTION

Primary sources: Data collection will be done through primary sources for which two
questionnaires are prepared. One is based on the investors and the other one is based on
the financial institution/banks

The sample size for the investor’s questionnaire is 100 and for the financial institution/bank
it is 3.

The banks that are taken for the study are HSBC, HDFC, and ICICI. The major reason for
preparing the questionnaire for the investors is to know about the various services
provided by the various banks and secondly to know about the satisfaction level of the
clients with their existing bank.

While on the other hand the reason for preparing the questionnaire for the financial
institution/bank is to know about their services, returns provided, and other added facilities.

The respondent for the investor’s questionnaire would be the existing clients of the various
banks who are availing the service of wealth management. These clients would be the
walk in customers. While for the institution the respondent would be the relationship
managers or the officials who are taking care of the wealth management services in the
bank.

Secondary sources: the data is also collected from the secondary sources which
comprises of broachers, web sites of the companies, published and unpublished data.

questionnaire of institution were filled. These were the employees of various banks present
in Jaipur.
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

Every study has its own limitations in terms of methodology and available resources for its
conduct. This study was not an exception and was carried out under the following
limitations: -

1) Study is based on the Primary and Secondary data. But the time was limited, so it also
consist some limitation to the research work.

2) The sample size chosen by me was not large enough because of lack of time.

3) The People were busy therefore getting information by them was not very easy.

4) The people taken these programmes in a much generalized way so they do not want to
give very adequate and accurate information.

5) Some important information was not there due to confidentiality involved in it.

6) Indifferent attitude of some respondents was the major hindrance.

7) Respondents some times act artificially when they know their information is noted down.

INVESTMENT AVENUES IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE INTRESTED

INTERPRETATION:
Respondents 100
Among the respondents of 100 most of the people are interested in mutual funds they have
the highest frequency which is 47. The reason for this giving the preference to this avenue
is because it has liquidity, good returns and less risk attached to it. The second product in
which people are interested is the fixed deposits the people who prefer this avenue are
around 40 the reason for investment in this revenue is to keep the principal amount safe as
well as getting a decent returns. The third product in which people are interested is real
estate product like land and building etc.
While about the interest of the people in the other products they consider ULIP as a good
product because of two things attached with it i.e. the insurance cover and the investment
in the equity market, it is also among the interested product because of its feature of tax
redemption. The people who are interested in ULIP are around 18 out of the sample size of
100. So by looking at the scenario we can say that the banking sector has a great
opportunity as the preference of the people is in the products that are dealt by the bank,
that are mutual funds, ULIP, FD’S and also ELSS.

 SWOT
ANALYSIS
 SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS
1. Credible and widely known brand name with the label of being world class and tag
line THE WORLD’S LOCAL BANK which describes it as having the local taste with
maintaining its originality as well as a client of HSBC is treated same everywhere as
he is treated at his branch i.e. Every branch is a home branch

2. The bank does the customer profiling i.e. PFR (Personal Financial Review) through
which the financial planner can understand the investment pattern of the investor as
well as his risk appetite and his expectations from the investment as well as from the
bank. This practice adopted by the bank is a highly appreciable.

3. Support of HSBC’S AMC and the central research team headed in Mumbai who keep
the track of the market and guide the team in the bank for the investments is the
major strength for the bank. Diversification in the work leads to better operations and
as well as it leads to better efficiency and customer satisfaction.

4. HSBC has a brand in the market of being the best bank in providing services. This
statement can be sufficed by looking at the past records and also recently HSBC was
ranked as no.1 international bank as surveyed by KPMG.

5. HSBC has same global standard of services in all the branches.

6. Stability to successfully implement custom electronic banking application. Hexagon is

the foundation of HSBC’S strategy to deliver innovative services via information
technology.

7. Great services provided to NRI’s not only in India but world over, hence it enjoys a
good reputation as well as good share of NRI business.
 8. Automated operations due to highly computerized environment.

9. Superior technological support.

10. Home banking services in which customer does not have approach the bank. The
financial planner themselves have to reach to the customer.

11. The ethical conduct and infrastructure of HSBC attract the customer the most
especially the hospitality that is rendered to the customers.

12. Usage of any Visa ATM of any bank free of cost is also one of the strength for the
bank which makes the banking fast and convenient for the customer.

13. HSBC also has an upper edge in providing the services beyond the banking services
in which other banks are lacking this may be due to the niche market in which they
are dealing.

WEAKNESS
1. There are only two branches in the whole region of Rajasthan, which makes it
unapproachable for the customers as well as a hurdle for the bank to find new
prospect customers.

2. Average quarterly balance requirement is higher as compared from the other banks.

3. The processing time taken is also long which leads to customer dissatisfaction.

OPPORTUNITIES
 1. Jaipur is in its developing phase so there is a lot of potential available in the market

2. In Jaipur the number of wealth management services that are availed by the people
is also very less which is again a great opportunity for the bank to cater to. This is
because of lack of knowledge or awareness among the people about the investment
avenues.

3. As mentioned or stated in several report and newspapers that from 2009 there would
a revolution in the banking sector which would lead to reduction in the numbers of
banks so there is an opportunity for HSBC to use its brand name as well as its strong
position to acquire other banks.

4. Looking at the current scenario most of the people are interested in the products
which are equity linked, this shows an opportunity for the bank to cater to as they are
dealing un these products.

THREATS
1. There’s a myth that is there in the minds of the people in Jaipur regarding the foreign
bank i.e. MNC bank are not trustworthy and hence, they do not go for the banking
operations.

2. Competition with the private sector banks such as ICICI, HDFC, CITI and other
banks who are on a verge of starting the wealth management services such as AXIS
bank, SBI and many other banks is the greatest threat for the bank. For which the
bank has to use aggressive marketing strategies to attract more and more
customers.

3. HSBC bank is also not very popular among the people of Jaipur.

4. The major drawback of HSBC is that it has to undergo a lot of rules and regulations
of RBI which makes its operations as well as its efficiency lower. This is not only the
case with HSBC but also with other MNC banks. So this leads to higher competition
given by the private banks.
CONCLUSION

 SUGGESTIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
 SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATION

1. As some banks are providing the facility of safety of principal amount similarly to
cater to a large numbers of customers and earning their trust HSBC can also adopt
this strategy. Currently this service is provided by standard charted only.

2. HDFC and ICICI and many other banks are providing their wealth management
clients with the benefit of discounted rates on various types of personal loans which
could be again a good strategy for HSBC to compete with the players in the market.

3. Increasing the number of branches in Rajasthan.

4. The investment avenues or the product range should be increased because currently
HSBC is only providing its clients with mutual funds, Insurance, SIP and some of the
equity linked funds which are less as compared with the product range of other
banks like ICICI who has a better product range in which they also include gold
funds etc.

5. HSBC should provide its client with the Demat service.

6. Special e- mail id for the clients availing wealth management services.
