SCOPE OF STUDY:-
Page 21 of 116
WEALTH MANAGEMENT – AN EMERGING SECTOR:Wealth management services area in financial sector. Hitherto used to be the preserve of some top multinational banks and financial firms- offering exclusive services to a select few has been witnessing more attention during last couple of years. A booming economy, rising stock prices and an increase income and spending power have bought sharp focus on this sector. With an increasing population of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) I, the unsaid tagline of earlier days-”Don’t call us, we’ll call you (if you are wealthy)” seems to be Completed altered in recent times. Considering long term high value business preposition. Number of banks, financial firms and niche players has started offering full length of wealth management services targeted to HNWIs and emerging effluents. As per recently published Cap Gemini Merrill Lynch wealth report 2007, number of HNWIs around the world and value of their assets continuously rising. Number of HNWIs globally is estimated to be around 9.5 million in year 2006. An increase of over 8.35% over previous year. HNWI wealth totals US$37.2 trillion, representing an increase of around 11.4% since 2005. As per report, number of HNWIs in India is increasingly growing at a rate higher than other region of world. Number of HNWIs in India is estimated to be around 100,000 in year 2006 and increase of over 20.5% over previous year. Though, in absolute terms the above numbers appears pretty miniscule (if we compare that
Page 22 of 116
with the number of the retail investors in India too) however in terms of value it really makes a huge sum of serviceable investment.
HNWI:There is no accurate definition of level of wealth to be considered into category of high net worth individuals (HNWI). The most commonly quoted figure for an individual to be considered High Net Worth is $1 million in liquid financial assets. An investor with less than $1 million but more than $100,000 is considered to be “AFFLUENT”.
RECENT TRENDS OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT FIRMS:Wealth management clients are demanding comprehensive and tailored services, with bespoke investment options. They are also keen to maintain relationships with multiple banks, to compare offerings and opt for the best. Banks are sparing no efforts to strategically transform their product offering and services, while revamping their technology infrastructure to differentiate themselves from competition. The wealth management space is now being catered to by different types of firms including brokers, private banks, retail banks and insurance houses. And all of them are vying for the same clients – the booming mass affluent segment and the high net worth segment. Wealth management firms are making strategic investments to differentiate themselves in the eyes of existing and would be high net worth and ultra high net worth clients. Insurance firms, brokerage services firms and retail banks are investing heavily on the advisor centric model and each one is trying to be the chosen wealth manager for the retirement segment as well as for the younger generations. This has resulted in direct competition in a space.
Page 23 of 116
Dominated, till recently by private banks and trusts. As a result, each of these players is looking at how best to differentiate its offering. Clearly, then as wealth management firms increasingly complete for the same high net worth clients, and clients themselves become more demanding, the pressure is on firms to understand the essence of clients needs in existing and growth markets, even if they have already devolved an accurate understanding of high net worth individuals in their established markets. Without this insight, firms will find it difficult to develop an attractive proposition. As a result, banks are moving away from the conventional pure product focus and focusing on total solutions that are completely oriented to clients needs.
TRENDS IN INVESTMENT PATTERN:The diverging investment environment in the two halves of 2007 helped define high net worth asset allocation strategies. Based on steady market returns from 2006. Asset allocations of high net worth individuals were biased heavily on riskier asset classes. However, towards the end of with 2007 and into the middle of 2008, the turmoil in the financial markets has forced investors to shift towards safer, less volatile asset classes like cash deposits and fixed income. Key trends have resulted in high net worth assets allocation strategies include:-
•
Cash deposits and fixed- income securities seeing a jump in asset allocation and currently accounting for 25% of the portfolio.
•
Equity holdings remaining more or less constant but seeing an increasing trend towards private equity over public equity keen to maintain relationships multiple banks, to compare offering and opt for the best.
•
Percentage of allocation to alternate investments and real estate going down significantly their rapid changes in asset allocation strategies based
Page 24 of 116
on dynamic market place in banks reviewing product offerings and offering innovations on current products, while trying to move client’s holdings to safer investment.
Banks have realized that product range and features are key differentiators in today’s fierily competitive and largely unpredictable market. The manufacture of products is not every bank’s cup of tea and the ‘gap’ in product offering is catered to by distributing products originating from other issuers. While manufacturing products is definitely the way forward distributing income continues to be a key revenue stream. The investment domain spans across a wide range of products there is a definite shift from traditional investments in funds. Equities and fixed income to alternate investments like structured products, real estate, private equity and hedge funds. Banks have also realized the benefits of innovation in terms of product bundling and utilization of customers ‘sleeping assets.’ Loan products bundled with insurance, margin lending, self funding installments to gain geared share exposure, and bundling of banking and investment products are some interesting products on showcase. At a very high level and models currently deployed are:
•
Transactions
•
Investment management
•
Wealth planning
The transactions model includes pure play brokers who facilitate investments in basic assets classes and products experts driving transactions through sophisticated products.
Page 25 of 116
The investment management model includes advisor and relationship managers who plan determine and advise customers in the pre and post investment phase
The wealth planning model offers holistic advice in accordance with client’s finances and goals. These could encompass arenas such as real estate, retirement and generational wealth transfer

Page 27 of 116
FINANCIAL PLANNING:Clients profiling takes in account multitude of behavioral, demographic and investment characteristic of a client that would determine each client’s wealth management requirement. Some of key characteristic to be evaluated for defining client’s investment objectives are: Current and future income level Family and life events Risk appetite/tolerance Taxability status Investment horizon Asset preference/ restriction Cash flow expectations Religious belief (non investment in sin sector like- alcohol, tobacco, gambling firms, or compliant with Shari laws) Behavioral history (pattern of past investment decision) Level of clients engagement in investment management (active/passive) Present investment holding and asset mix
Page 28 of 116
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 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 don’t outlive their money) After establishing investment objectives, a broad framework for harnessing possible investment opportunities are formulated. Their framework would factor for risk return trade-off of considered. Options, investment horizon and provide a clear blueprint for investment direction. Investment strategy helps in forming broad level envisioning of asset class (Securities forex, commodity, real state, reference and indices, art/antique and life style assets (car, boat, and aircraft)), market, geography sector and industry. Each of these asset classes is to be comprehensively evaluated for inclusion in portfolio model, in view of defined investment objectives. While defining the strategy, consideration of client preference or avoidance for specific asset class, risk tolerance, religious belief is the key element, which would come into picture. Thus for a client with a belief of avoidance of investment in sin industries (alcohol,tobacco,gambling,etc)is to be duly taken care of likewise, for a client looking for Sharia compliant investment, strategy formulation should consider investment options meeting with a client expectations.
Page 29 of 116
Guided with the investment strategy, consitituents in portfolio model are determined. Which would directly and efficiently contribute towards client’s investment objectives? Thus, broad level investment guidance of-“investment in fixed income in emerging market” would further determine classification within fixed income such as govt or corporate bonds. Fixed and variable rate bonds, long and short maturity bonds, deep discounted and par bonds. Asset backed or other debt variants. Return profile, risk sensitivity and co-relation of constituents within portfolio model would help to determine the size (weight age) of each individual constituent in the portfolio.
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION:Having decided the portfolio constituents and its composition, transactions to acquire specific instruments and identified asset class is imitated. 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 favorable price range.
APPROACH OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT COMPANIES:Generally financial advisors begin with a complementary initial meeting with the clients to discuss their strategic planning and investment needs, explain our process, including available options and determining the next course of action.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Page 87 of 116
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY: Main purpose of my Analysis is finding the factors affecting the individual’s investment. In today’s world the earning of the people is increasing with increase in the earnings people are looking for the composition by which they can benefit the most. Wealth Management provides such different composition by which they can get maximum out of it. Besides it wealth management gives good knowledge of Portfolio management & different instrument available to individuals for the investment.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: Research Design: Exploratory Data Collection instruments: Questionnaire Sampling Design: Purposive Sampling Sample size: 100 Sample Area: NCR Sample Element: Households (Who invest in financial assets) Measurement Instruments: Close ended Questionnaire Page 88 of 116
Exploratory research is carried out to make problem suited to more precise suited to more precise investigation or to frame a working hypothesis from an operational perspective. Exploratory studies help in understanding & assessing the critical issues of problems. It is not used in case where a definite result is desired. However, the study results are used for subsequent research to attain conclusive results for a particular problem situation. Exploratory studies are conducted for three main resons. To Analyze a Problem Situation to Evaluate Alternatives to Discover New Ideas
RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS: If a hypothesized relationship or prediction has to be tested by scientific methods. It is called Research Hypothesis. A research hypothesis is one that links an independent variable to a dependent variable. It should generally contain one dependent and one independent variable.
METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION: Data can be collected in different ways from the subject of study. One method is to observe subjects on certain parameters, which is called observation studies. In such studies, the subjects (respondents) by asking them questions through questionnaire. Here the researcher can adopt either method based on the study that needs to be conducted. For instance, if research has to be done on the traffic flow at a particular junction, then the observation method is best. On the other hand, if consumer preferences about a new product are to be estimated, then a questionnaire for obtaining consumer responses is the best method.
Research design has been classified in to four subsections they are: 1. Sample selection and size; 2. Sampling procedure;
Page 89 of 116
3. Data collection; 4. Analytical tools SAMPLE SELECTION & SIZE: The first step of research is sample selection, for which the respondents were consumers in Nanded city. The total consumers covered were 100. The same numbers of Questionnaires were distributed but only 70 fully – completed questionnaires were received. Results are based on the response of these 70 respondents.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE : The consumers are selected by the Convenience Sampling Method. The selection of units from the population based on their easy availability and accessibility to the researcher is known as convenience sampling. Convenience sampling can be used as a part of a preliminary research that forms a basis for conducting the detailed research. Convenience Sampling is at its best in surveys dealing with an exploratory purpose for generating ideas & hypothesis.

OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS: After going through the Questionnaire I found that many people are not aware of different types of financial instruments they only know about fixed deposits and life insurance. Even some people didn’t know that besides LIC there is any other company which provides insurance. Even many people didn’t know about MUTUAL FUNDS some were investing their money in M.F. but they were even not knowing that whether it is open ended scheme or close ended scheme & even they know what is the portfolio of their funds. And all these investment was being made on the advice of their agents. Besides that it’s a youngster who mostly invests in equity and mutual funds while the people of age 40 and more are intended to invest in ULIPS plans.
OBSERVATION & ANALYSIS ON THE PART OF KOTAK PRODUCTS ANALYSIS OF CURRENT ACCOUNT: If a person needs an account where his excess balance can earn interest at the rate of interest of fixed deposits then one should go for either elite, pro or edge current the three are of free demand drafts while elite provides 100 free D.D pro provides 50 free D.D. ANALYSIS OF SAVINGS ACCOUNTS: The different savings accounts provided by the bank suits individuals for the different needs. Like if a person wants to make payment for most of the bills without using cash then one should go for PRO SAVING ACCOUNT. While if one wants’ to withdraw money in any city to any extent one should go for NOVA SAVING ACCOUNT. While if one is indulged in lot of electronic transferring of Page 99 of 116
funds, free demand draft facility one should go for EDGE SALARY ACCOUNT.
ANALYSIS OF MUTUAL FUNDS: Generally mutual funds are analyzed on the basis of the risk.

ANALYSIS OF ULIPS: Generally the difference between ulips and mutual funds is of Death benefit ULIPS provides death benefit besides that the investment pattern of ULIPS is very much similar to Balanced Funds. While ULIPS are basically for some special purpose like child advantage funds which are basically designed for the benefits of child. Even though they provide general funds like KOTAK SMART ADVANTAGE FUND but that too with special features of profit booking if market values goes below 90%. While other ULIPS provides the facility of switching the funds from equity to debt instruments if market value stars falling. While the dis-advantage I found in ULPIS is that asset allocation charges in ULIPS are higher in comparison with other funds.
DEFICIENCY I FOUND IN KOTAK: kotak group provides various services to the investor but still I feel there is some deficiency on their part. The deficiency that I noticed is: The group mainly focuses on S & P CNX NIFTY and S &P CNX 500 for Bench Marketing. Their products and they totally ignore other bases like CNX NIFTY Junior, and Mid - Cap funds for benchmarking its products. There is a Lack of Sectoral funds like a fund which mainly focuses on natural resource & power sector or on the Retail sector. There is a lack of funds which mainly focuses on the international markets as being provided by BIRLA SUNLIFE. Kotak group is only restricted to domestic markets. Still kotak group follows odd Trends. They don’t have something different in their offerings like in ING GROUP have recently launched a FUND where investors money are being invested in the market on every day basis. So this provides an opportunity to investor to effectively capitalize on both falling and gaining markets. Kotak mainly focuses on Debentures (if investment is being made in Debt instruments) while they totally ignore commodities, inflation linked bonds.

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
Page 102 of 116
CONCLUSION: If for an example if a person approaches kotak then kotak group provides wide range of savings account where one’s excess funds can earn interest like term deposit. Besides, that kotak provides wide range of tax saving fund which could help one in tax planning. On the other hand kotak provides mutual funds which could help one in growing the money of theirs according to the risk they can bear, for example- If a person can bear full risk then one can gofer the funds where the investment is in 100% equity instruments, while if one wants to ride safe one can go for the liquid funds while if one wants’ to take calculated risks one can go for balanced funds while one if personally feels that particular sector has lot of potential for growth one can go sect oral funds. On the other hand if one has dependents then one can go for ULIPS Plan which provides both safety and growth of money.
