2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Wealth management is an investment advisory discipline that incorporates financial planning, investment portfolio management and a number of aggregated financial services. High Net worth Individuals (HNWIs), small business owners and families who desire the assistance of a credentialed financial advisory specialist call upon wealth managers to coordinate retail banking, estate planning, legal resources, tax professionals and investment management. Wealth managers can be an independent Certified Financial Planner, MBAs, Chartered Strategic Wealth Professional, CFA Charter holders or any credentialed professional money manager who works to enhance the income, growth and tax favoured treatment of long-term investors.
2.1.1 Personal Wealth Management

Private or Personal wealth management (PWM) is the term generally used to describe highly customized and sophisticated investment management and financial planning services delivered to high net worth investors. Generally, this includes advice on the use of trusts and other estate planning, vehicles, business succession or stock option planning, and the use of hedging derivatives for large blocks of stock. Experts in personal wealth management perform an important role for clients who wish to make the most of their financial assets. Beyond just overseeing investments, handling individual monetary resources can reach past stocks, mutual funds, and bonds and administer other issues as well. Retirement planning that starts early is a much easier and more painless way to provide for future needs. Insurance needs and tax concerns can be difficult to direct without professional help. Money set aside for educational purposes can offer children the kinds of choices that can influence their futures in positive ways. Vacation homes and family travel can become a reality through the skilled administration of finances. All in all, personal wealth management constitutes a lot more than just paying bills and investing in the stock market. Most organizations will help clients by going over their individual income and assets and create a plan of action that is uniquely tailored to them. Whether the need is for asset protection or trust administration, inheritance issues or tax expertise, consulting professionals in the field can make the difference between financial success and fiscal disappointment.
| Introduction| 3
2013
Estate planning is an important part of anyone's personal wealth management program. The future of a client's potential heirs is a very important concern. Clients work a lifetime for assets that they wish to see passed to the next generation. Careful estate planning can limit the bite that taxes can take out of a client's holdings after death. Without careful management, valuable assets can be frittered away. There are many benefits associated with personal wealth management. By turning these complex issues over to experts in the financial field, a client is free to handle other life priorities with reduced stress and less distraction. Seasoned professionals can look at the life goals of the client and zero in on the best way to meet those goals. Solid planning can address current as well as future issues.
2.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION

2.2.1 Background of the Problem
With the help of this end term project, my aim is understand and study the strategies for managing wealth on trans-generational basis of an individual. Increased level of wealth created by individual and brighter economic prospects for the future has substantially augmented the demand for sound professional advice on setting financial goals, aligning financial planning with career planning, investment planning, retirement planning, tax and estate planning.
2.2.2 Statement of the Problem

To understand the Personal Wealth Management of an Accountant, Mr. Jinesh Janardhan, an accountant working in UAE
2.2.3 Objectives of the project

1. Demographic profiling of the respondent 2. To comment on respondent's attitude towards money 3. To List out personal goals in SMART format 4. To give observations based on personal financial ratio.

5. To know the status of insurance (both life and non-life) and e-fund 6. To Do Risk profiling and comment on special situation planning 7. To Analyze existing personal investments 8. To study retirement and estate planning 9. To Identify Tax Planning
2.3 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

We should give importance on wealth management as much as the attentions we give on money earning. Though people plan for their wealth management perfectly, there are some common mistakes which people commit and tend to lose their hard earned money. The mistakes which they commit might look very simple, but the impact which they create might be complex and huge. Affluent individuals often need sophisticated advice and strategic guidance to capitalize on opportunities to preserve, grow and transfer their wealth.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 EIGHT PRINCIPLES OF STRATEGIC WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Author: Stuart E. Lucas , Wharton school publishing
Over the last 25 years of managing other people's money, my personal finances, and our family's wealth, I have developed what I consider to be a useful set of principles for effective long-term wealth management. They apply equally well whether you're managing a nest egg of $1 million or $1 billion. They apply regardless of time horizon and family complexity, and they apply whether your ambitions are aggressive or conservative. For anyone concerned about managing wealth, they provide a source of stability and a critical frame of reference. The Eight Principles of Strategic Wealth Management are at the heart of what I do every day. They are: 1. Take charge and do it early.

Align family and business interests around wealth-building goals and strategies. Create a culture of accountability. Capitalize on your family's combined resources. Delegate, empower, and respect independence. Diversify but focus. Err on the side of simplicity where possible. Develop future family leaders with strong wealth management skills.
Every decision I make, whether it involves choosing an investment manager, thinking about tax strategy, or working with my family to set goals for next year, gets filtered through these principles. Let's examine them now in detail.
3.2 THE FUTURE BEGINS NOW

Author: Paul Mc Indijoe
Here is nothing new about saving money; most people have some type of savings account. However, the reasons people save and the manner in which they do it has changed over time, and modern banking is determined to help. In the past, saving was about security, peace of mind and knowing that you had options should you run into difficulty somewhere down the line. These days it is a little more structured and goal-oriented, resulting in a more thorough analysis of savings options before a decision is taken. Governments actively encourage saving and nowadays many parents attempt to instil a saving mentality in their children from an early age. Deeming it wise to be prudent and knowing that it certainly cannot hurt, people now are prepared to search a little further than their local bank for the best deal in savings. Many ambitious young people are planners, constantly thinking ahead with regards to property, travel, career and family. All of these require money and thus a savings account is the next step after taking care of their regular obligations with a current account.
| Literature review| 6
2013
The days when savings were for a rainy day are long past. Now savings play a much more significant role in peoples long term finances. Savings are incorporated into plans for homes, holiday property, economic downturns, having children, interest rate jumps affecting mortgages, health cover and child trust funds to mention a few. Banks and other financial institutions have responded to the reasons why people save and their range of savings products reflects this shift in attitude amongst the public. To the consumer, a bank savings account now often represents a firmer, more focused commitment to a personal goal. The amounts moved to savings accounts are now more substantial and with a more specific purpose in mind. The more organized and financially aware among us realize the benefits of long term planning and seek out those providing the savings accounts that best suit their wishes as well as those providing the best rate of return or value for money. People are also becoming more aware of the pitfalls of inadequate financial planning and the need to have extra resources at hand to deal with them. Fluctuating interest rates and slowing economic growth can affect both the job and mortgage markets. Savings are not just a quick fix to these problems, but a sound investment that gives people more options for the long-term. Modern savings accounts help people achieve their personal goals by being flexible and adaptable while still retaining the original merits of saving such as security. People now look at them in terms of a useful tool as they have shed their static and rigid image and are now looked upon as a helpful and significant long term allay.

5.3 RATIO ANALYSIS

5.3.1 Basic solvency ratio
Definition: This ratio indicates your ability to meet monthly expenses in case of any emergency or catastrophe. It is calculated by dividing the near-term cash you have with your monthly expenses.
You can also call it as emergency or contingency planning ratio. This ratio helps you prepare for unforeseen problems.
Formula Used: Basic solvency ratio = Cash / Monthly expenses (this ratio is not mentioned in percentage)
Ideal Basic Solvency Ratio = 3 In Case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan: Immediate cash from liquid assets = 235,000 Monthly Expenses = (9,25,000 / 12) = 77,083 Basic Solvency ratio = 235,000/77,083= 3.04 Analysis: The basic in the case of Mr. Jinesh is pretty good, as it is little more than the ideal value. Apart from that, there is no member in his family with some illness or he dont have any kids. So he is keeping his basic solvency very well as per the financial conditions.
5.3.2 Liquidity ratio

Formula Used: Liquidity ratio = Liquid assets / Net worth
Where liquid assets comprises of:

Savings account Bank fixed deposit Liquid funds Cash in hand
14

Equities (shares) All open-ended mutual funds gold
2013
Net worth would include your total assets less total liabilities. It shows what you are worth after paying off all your liabilities.
Ideal Liquidity Ratio = 15% In Case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan: Liquid Assets (Calculated in Position Statement)= 14,85,000 Net Worth (Calculated in Position Statement) = 66,20,000 Liquidity Ratio = 3720000/ 16831800 = 22.43%
Analysis: Therefore, more than 22 percent of his portfolio is comprised of liquid assets, that is, he should be able to sell them off at a short notice and convert it into cash! That much liquidity in a portfolio, he has. This is pretty good as he has convertible assets in case of any emergency.
5.3.3 Savings Ratio

Savings should be an integral part of life here's why you need to save money. There are various reasons: for your child's education or marriage; your retirement; for buying a house or a car; for going on a world tour; for medical and other emergencies.
Formula Used:
Savings ratio = Savings / Gross income
Ideal ratio = 10% It was found that Mr. Jinesh invests 100,000 in gold regularly. | Financial Details| 15
Personal Wealth Management In case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan Savings = 100,000+ 50,000+150,000 = 300,000 Gross Income = 12, 63,790 Savings Ratio = 300,000/12, 63,790 = 23.73 %
2013
Analysis: It is really good saving as compared to that of Income. So from this, we can understand that, Mr. Jinesh is a regular saver who tries to invest profitably by saving regularly.
5.3.4 Debt to asset ratio

It is the percentage of total assets of an individual that goes towards payment of debt. This ratio is calculated by dividing your total liabilities by total assets
Formula Used:
Debt to asset ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets In Case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan: Total Assets = 8,540,000 Total Liabilities = 19,20,000 Debt to Asset Ratio = 19,20,000 / 8,540,000 = 22.48% Analysis: Debt to asset ratio is healthy in his case as it should be less than 50%. In this case Mr. Jinesh can easily payoff all his debts by using 22.5% of his assets and that is pretty good.
5.3.5 Solvency ratio

This ratio is used to check your potential long-term solvency, that is, the measure of how much you are left with after paying your liabilities from your assets to avoid any solvency problem.
Formula Used:
Solvency ratio = Total net worth / Total assets (total net worth divided by total assets) | Financial Details| 16
2013
In Case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan Total Net Worth = 6,620,000 Total Assets = 8,540,000 Solvency Ratio = 6,620,000/ 8,540,000 = 77.5% Analysis:Yes, The ideal solvency ratio should be at least 50 percent. Anything less than 50 per cent would lead to financial trouble in the long run. Therefore it is very good here.
6. PERSONAL GOAL SETTING

Goal setting is a very powerful technique that can yield strong returns in all areas of your life.
Benefits of personal goal setting: Clear and focused direction giving a sense of security and purpose. Maximum use of time. Enthusiasm is high for what you want. Moving steadily towards and achieving the results you really want and ultimate success. Boosted self-esteem, confidence and belief in your ability to make things happen and feel in control One convenient way of creating your list of goals is to fill in the blanks under the following categories:
What you want to BE What you want to DO What you want to HAVE What you want to GIVE What you Dont want to BE, DO, HAVE, and GIVE
6.1 ANALYSING FINANCIAL VALUES

*Refer the Questionnaire No. 1 with Clients Response in Annexure

17
2013
Values are relatively permanent personal beliefs about what you regard as important, worthy, desirable or right. Values tend to reflect your upbringing or other important events, and change very little without conscious effort over a lifetime. These values are reflected in your attitude and the more harmonious your values, attitudes and goals will be the greater will the likelihood of attaining them. Values are beliefs or ideas that you consider import or desirable. Everyone has values, but everyone does not value the same things equally Number of times circled each item in the pair activity:
Car Charitable Giving Education Hobbies/Sports Housing Personal Care Retirement/investment Social Vacation/Travel

3 2 4 0 1 0 5 2 3
The item of utmost importance for Mr. Jinesh Janardhan is retirement planning. He is right now having a vacation with his wife now. The Secondary Important items include education and is followed by car and vacation. From these preferences, it is obvious that Mr. Jinesh is a saving person who does not want to spend more but rather like to spend that in social and charitable activities.

7. PLANNING
7.1 TAX PLANNING
Tax Planning in India is an application to reduce tax liability through the finest use of all accessible allowances, exclusions, deductions, exemptions, etc, to trim down income and/or capital profits. Salaried individuals in India are not fully aware of the tax planning exercise which is why they rush at the end of the tax-planning season and make investments to reduce their tax liability. This has negative effect on tax payable by them and they eventually end up paying more taxes than they are required to.
7.2 TAX-PLANNING WAYS

7.2.1 Make full use of the entire Section 80C deduction
The maximum reduction available in Section 80C is Rs 100,000 and salaried citizens whose gross salary is Rs 250,000 or more are entitled to use the full Rs 100,000 limit. Individuals who make monetary infusions of over Rs 100,000 in Section 80C in selected areas fail to understand that the advantages are limited. In spite of investing Rs 70,000 and Rs 40,000 in Public Provident Fund and ELSS respectively, the amount entitled by the investor is only Rs 100,000.
Following investments/contributions meet the criteria for Section 80C reduction:

Public Provident Fund Accrued interest on National Saving Certificate Life Insurance Premium National Saving Certificate Tuition fees paid for children's education (maximum 2 children) Principal component of home loan repayment 5-Year fixed deposits with banks and Post Office
| PLANNING|
24
2013
Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS)
Application in Case of Mr. Jinesh Janardhan: As he is working abroad now and he dont have a plan to settle there, he is not at all making any investments there, he is paying the tax for the salary as per the tax laws of UAE. But almost all the investments, spending and savings he does in India only. He is getting tax deductions on, Life insurance Premiums, Bank Fixed deposits. He is paying the NRI tax as per the laws.
7.2.2 Reduction of tax liability beyond Section 80C deductions

As per the Indian laws, he dont have to pay tax under the income category as he is not earning anything in India,
Medical insurance: A deduction of upto Rs 15,000 pa under section 80D is applicable under this. At Present Mr. Jinesh has no medical insurance, but he should plan for his family medical insurance
Donations: Tax advantages under Section 80G entitle the donations to particular funds/institutions. At Present Mr. Jinesh is not making any Charity
Suggestion: Mr. Jinesh is spending most of the money here in India only. So he will have to spend judiciously to save the tax. He is not at all investing in high rist-high return investments such as equity and mutual funds. So considering his risk averseness, he can invest in govt. bonds and other institutional investments, as he can get tax deductions through these spendings.
7.3 ESTATE PLANNING

Mr Jinesh has yet not planned a will considering his young age and the fact that he has not build a huge estate as of now. Moreover he is yet to have children and so the thought of dividing the assets amongst them hasnt really been borne in his mind. As a planner I would like to suggest Mr Jinesh to go for a will planning soon in the future owing to the benefits that it provides as stated under:
| PLANNING|

He expects his career to experience a steady rise through the ranks of the company, and a rise in salary along with that. He plans to come back after 10 years or so and start his own business in India. So thinking positively it will not be a big deal for him to raise that much amount if the business goes well as he planned. Thus, the suggestion for Mr. Jinesh is to put a portion of some of his income (which is expected to rise substantially in the next 3 years) for the establishment of the planned business back in India. The Plan suitable for Mr. Jinesh Janardhan is LIC Jeevan Nidhi. Options available:

Lifetime annuity: annuity for life. Life annuity certain for 5, 10, 15 years: Annuity is paid for chosen term and for life thereafter. Life annuity with return of purchase price: life annuity with return of purchase price on death to the beneficiary.
Joint Life, last survivor annuity: life annuity to you and then to your spouse with return of purchase price to the beneficiary on death of last survivor. You can choose these options at any time, but before 6 months of the vesting date.
Eligibility: Minimum age limit is 18 and maximum is 55 years. The minimum sum assured one needs to apply for is Rs. 50,000 and the minimum term is 10 years. The vesting age can be between 45 and 65. So he can buy a policy to build the corpus for his business start.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. It is recommended to Mr. Jinesh to plan for any contingency such as losing his job or immediate return to India. In that case, he will have to keep an emergency fund for all the living expense for at least 6 months. Now he has enough basic solvency to meet his expenses for 3 months. 2. As getting free from debt is the top priority of anybody. Mr. Jinesh should first pay off the car Loan he has taken as soon as possible as it is high interest bearing loan. He should first pay off the loan EMI every month he receive his salary. 3. Mr. Jinesh wants to have a bike for his brother before he joins his job within 6 months.. He can save Rs. 8-10 Thousand per month to build a corpus of Rs. 1 Lakh in a year. He can also take recurring deposit for that purpose. 4. Being a salaried individual, he does not have much by way of savings. Hence Mr. Janardhan needs to provide this cover for his family. He should invest some more money into term insurance. He should opt for life insurance cover him up till the age of 60.The amounts being, Rs 1 lacs each for him and his wife. In this manner they also end up getting savings on tax. 5. He can invest in post office schemes where he will have sure returns and also tax benefits. Which will help him in building corpus for his Childs education 6. He can make use of savings made by his parents for his brothers marriage. He can put money on fixed deposit for 3-4 years. Also his brother will start earning in some months and he will not have any liabilities to make he can save money for marriage. 7.

9. LIMITATION OF STUDY
The study couldnt test about the 100% accurate wealth management and financial planning as respondent may skip some information and he might not want to share 100% correct information. The results are based on the data collected from one respondent only based on his wealth planning. It cannot be applied to any other person as it used the data collected from a UAE based accountant, Mr. Jinesh Janardhan. As he is working in UAE, and the taxes he pays are according the tax law which is existing in that state, there was a confusion in the tax planning of him for the investment he does in India. There was a proper communication problem as all the responses I got from him through phone calls and mails, lot of information were missing and the availability of time for the respondent was also limited. So this created some problems.
