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

Chapter 1: Introduction
Personal Wealth Management
The term wealth management is thrown around plenty, in the boardrooms of
private client firms, in trade and mainstream articles and by financial advisors in front
of clients. From the affluent individuals perspective, wealth management is simply the
science of solving/enhancing his or her financial situation. From the financial advisors
perspective, wealth management is the ability of an advisor or advisory team to deliver a
full range of financial services and products to an affluent client in a consultative way.
Private or Personal wealth management (PWM) is the term generally used to
describe highly customized and sophisticated investment management and financial
planning services delivered to high net worth investors. Generally, this includes advice
on the use of trusts and other estate planning, vehicles, business succession or stock
option planning, and the use of hedging derivatives for large blocks of stock.
Experts in personal wealth management perform an important role for clients who wish
to make the most of their financial assets. Beyond just overseeing investments, handling
individual monetary resources can reach past stocks, mutual funds, and bonds and
administer other issues as well. All in all, personal wealth management constitutes a lot
more than just paying bills and investing in the stock market. Most organizations will
help clients by going over their individual income and assets and create a plan of action
that is uniquely tailored to them. Whether the need is for asset protection or trust
administration, inheritance issues or tax expertise, consulting professionals in the field
can make the difference between financial success and fiscal disappointment.
There are many benefits associated with personal wealth management. By turning these
complex issues over to experts in the financial field, a client is free to handle other life
priorities with reduced stress and less distraction. Seasoned professionals can look at
Personal Wealth Management
Page 5
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.

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

1. Basic Solvency Ratio: This ratio indicates an individuals ability to meet his or her
monthly expenses in case of an emergency or a catastrophe.
Basic Solvency Ratio=Near Cash/Monthly Expenses
Cash (near cash) includes all liquid assets like savings a/c, Fixed Deposit; cash in
hand and Liquid Funds. Monthly Expenses include mandatory fixed and variable
expenses.
The ideal ratio is 3 but Mr. Garg is having a ratio of 11.77. This means there is too
much of liquid cash or idle cash, which can be invested for better purposes that will
start generating returns.
2. Liquidity Ratio: This ratio helps a person to know his financial liquidity.
Maintaining a certain level of liquidity is essential to ward off any unforeseen
financial hardships. Property can be considered as a good investment avenue but
lack of liquidity is its biggest drawback and while equity is risky; its biggest
advantage is liquidity.
Liquidity Ratio= Liquid Assets/Net worth
Liquid Assets include all cash (near cash assets), equities, Equity Mutual Funds,
Debt funds and other assets which can be redeemed within three to four working
days.
The liquidity ratio is 27.21% which is much more than the ideal value of 15%. This
means that 27.21% per cent of his portfolio comprises of liquid assets which could
be converted into investments for better returns.
3. Savings Ratio: This ratio indicates the amount an individual sets aside as savings
for his future goals.
Page 17
Mr. Garg savings Ratio is 16.51% per cent. This is marginally above the ideal
minimum savings of 10 per cent meaning that sufficient income is invested for
meeting future obligations.
4. Debt to Asset Ratio: This ratio helps a person to understand whether he is over
borrowed or is in a comfortable position, i.e., if he faces any solvency problems. This
ratio should always be used when one is planning to take a new loan. If an individual
is over borrowed, it is best to avoid getting into something new. Instead the person
should wait until he has finished paying off his previous loan amount.
Debt to Asset ratio= Total Liabilities/ Total Assets
Mr. Garg debt to asset ratio is close to 12.56% per cent. This is very good as the
ideal ratio is considered to be less than 50%. That is your total debts should not
increase more than 50 per cent of your total assets. So the low leveraged personal
balance sheet shows a remarkable position as the assets invested in are also those
which can appreciate and give higher returns.
5. Debt to income ratio: It is the percentage of consumer's income that goes towards
payment of debts. This ratio is calculated by dividing total annual debt payments by
total annual take home salary.
Debt to income ratio = Total debt payments / Total take home salary
The ideal Debt to Income ratio should not exceed 45%. That is your total annual
debt payments should not exceed more than 45 per cent of your total annual take
home salary. However, Mr. Garg debt to income ratio is 44.95% which is optimal.
6. Solvency Ratio: Long term solvency ratio compares an individual's net worth
against total assets accumulated by him/her. This ratio indicates the ability of an
individual to repay all his/her existing debts using existing assets in case of
unforeseen events.
Solvency Ratio = Total Net Worth/ Total Assets
Page 18
The ideal ratio should be minimum 50%. Mr. Gargs solvency ratio is extremely
good as its 87.44%, which clearly indicates his strong ability to service her debts.

Chapter 6: PLANNING
Insurance Planning
He has taken a Life Insurance Cover (Future Plus) Rs.200, 000 which has present value
of Rs. 3500000. The Insurance Plan will mature in year 2020.
Insurance policies suggested to Mr. Kshitij Garg
There should be a term life policy for Mr Garg to the extent of 15 times his annual
income. The ICICI term policy can be taken for the same as it can be taken online
Investment Planning
Investment means putting your money in an investment alternative with the
expectations of getting an expected return on the amount invested. Investment always
involves a risk-return trade-off. Hence, before suggesting any type of asset class for
investment to the client, it is necessary to understand his risk appetite.
Page 24
2,20,000
1,20,000
Mr. Kshitij Garg seems to be quiet risk averse as majority of his investments are in a
fixed return assets i.e. Fixed Deposit schemes and Mutual Fund. Therefore, he can
invest in Equity to seek higher returns as he doesnt seem to have any major obligations.
He is suggested to diversify his product and investment portfolio by including both high
risks high return and low risk low return investments.
Tax Planning
Mr. Kshitij Garg are in higher tax bracket of 20 % so tax planning for them is very
necessary as till now they are paying approximately Rs 104400 as their annual tax.
Application in Case of Mr. Kshitij Garg:
He is getting tax deductions on Employee Provident Fund, Life insurance Premiums,
Bank Fixed deposits.
Interest payments on Home Loan of up to Rs 150,000 pa are entitled for reduction
under Section 24. Mr. Kshitij is liable to pay an Interest on Home loan which is
partially on loan. Therefore, he can claim tax deductions under HRA
At Present Mr. Verma has no medical insurance, but he should plan for his family
medical insurance to claim deduction of upto Rs 15,000 pa under section 80D of
Income Tax Act.
At Present Mr. Verma does not make any contributions towards Charity. By doing
donations to particular funds/institutions, Tax advantages under Section 80G will be
available to Mr. Garg.
His focus should be towards investing into tax efficient investments after the
retirement.
Retirement Planning
Mr. Kshitij Garg plans to have a corpus of Rs. 5 crores by the time he retires at the
age of 60. He expects his career to experience a steady rise through the ranks of the
company, and a rise in salary along with that. Mr. & Mrs. Garg are in service where their
Page 25
gratuity and provident fund account is being credited every month by their employer
which is one most important aspect in saving for retirement.
Thus, the suggestion for Mr. Kshitij is to put a portion of some of his income (which is
expected to rise substantially in the next 15 years) to retirement fund. The Plan suitable
for Mr. Garg is LIC Jeevan Nidhi.
Page 26
The most important limitation of this study is the authencity in the information
provided by the client. Also future cannot be accurately predicted so there would
always be some element of uncertainty in the projections.
The study couldnt test about the 100% accurate wealth management and financial
planning as the client may skip some information and he might not want to share
100% correct information.
