Planning for wealth requires understanding of the asset allocation practice.


Asset Allocation is the process of deciding how to distribute wealth among various
asset classes and sectors. Although often regarded as a minor investment decision,
asset allocation is the cornerstone on which the entire investment process is built.
About 90% of return variability over time can be explained by asset allocation
decisions. About 40% of the differences in returns can be explained by differences
in asset allocation. Asset allocation is thus the major factor that drives portfolio
risk and return. Asset classes have fluctuating returns and correlations over
different time horizons. No one asset class tends to outperform others consistently,
therefore it is critical to diversify and adapt your portfolio to the dynamic
investment climate.
herefore it is important that one must spread his asset across equity, debt,
structured products, private equity, real estate and other alternates as well.


"#$%#$&

'#(") Sirect Equity investment generally refers to the buying and


holding of shares of stock on a stock market by individuals in anticipation of
income from dividends and capital gains as the value of the stock rises. Yndividuals
or firms trading equity (stock) on the stock markets as their principal capacity are
called stock traders. Stock traders usually try to profit from short-term price
volatility with trades lasting anywhere from several seconds to several weeks. On
the other hand, stock investors purchase stocks with the intention of holding for an
extended period of time, usually several months to years.
"" "$ A Mutual und is a professionally managed pool of money from
investors with similar investment objectives. A mutual fund represents many
individual stocks from a variety of industries and is managed by a fund manager.
Mutual funds offer diversification and professional management of your money.
Siversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same
direction in the same proportion at the same time.
$"# Life Ynsurance helps you protect yourself and your family against an
uncertain future. After deciding the amount of insurance that you require, you need
to decide on the policy that best suits your needs. Your insurance needs are
dependant on your responsibilities and financial commitments, which are defined
by your life stage and your needs. Yf you have just begun a family, you need a
policy that would provide for your child¶s needs for higher overseas education, or
marriage or a business venture. You also need to take a policy such that should
something untoward happen to you; your family has the money to meet their daily
expenses comfortably.


!#*

"#""#$ A structured product is generally a pre-packaged


investment strategy which is based on derivatives, such as a single security, a
basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances and foreign
currencies. A feature of some structured products is a "principal protection"
function which offers protection of principal if held to maturity.
%(") Private equities are equity securities of unlisted companies. hey
are generally illiquid and thought of as a long-term investment. Private equity
investments are not subject to the same high level of government regulation as
stock offerings to the general public. Private equity is also far less liquid than
publicly traded stock.

$ Real estate funds are founded by a group of real estate


professionals/experts to 'manage' property/real estate for the investor. Apart from
sale of property, real estate funds also make money from rentals on property
owned by them. Some real estate funds may not actually own property as that may
involve above-average risk from volatility in property prices. Ynstead such funds
invest in bonds/instruments that are secured by property. he coupon rate that they
receive on these bonds/instruments is then distributed to investors/unit holders as
dividends.
$  Estate planning is a process involving the counsel of
professional advisors who are familiar with your goals and concerns, your assets
and how they are owned, and your family structure. Yt can involve the services of a
variety of professionals, including your lawyer, accountant, financial planner, life
insurance advisor, banker and broker.

Estate planning covers the transfer of property and may or may not involve tax
planning. he core document most often associated with this process is your will.
c$+ You may have your debt and equity funds in place, but investing
in commodities could just be the one element to improve your portfolio.
Commodity trading provides an ideal asset allocation, also helps you hedge against
inflation and buy a piece of global demand growth. Ynvestors must understand the
demand cycle that commodities go through and should have a view on what factors
may affect this. Because commodities prices usually rise when inflation is
accelerating, they offer protection from the effects of inflation. ew assets benefit
from rising inflation, particularly unexpected inflation, but commodities usually
do. As demand for goods and services increases, the price of goods and services
usually rises too, as does the price of the commodities used to produce those goods
and services. Commodity exposure can be taken either directly through the
commodity exchange or through various mutual funds with a mandate of investing
in commodities.
+ As with any investment, you need to do your research and go beyond your
comfort zone. he art market is fickle and there are no guarantees of profitability,
but with a little legwork and forethought you can fill your home with images that
may prove worthy investments down the line. he price of art is affected by such
an array of intangible factors that valuing it can never be an exact science. After
all, what one generation finds appealing another may find unsightly. While the
market for art might look attractive the investor might well be advised to tread with
caution and use the help of trusted / reputed experts.
' Ynvesting in equities requires time, knowledge and constant
monitoring of the market. or those who need an expert to help manage their
investments, Siscretionary Portfolio Management Service (PMS) comes as an
answer. he benefits of PMS are:
OV Your portfolio is tailored after a thorough research backed by the expertise of the
PMS team.
OV An experienced team of portfolio managers ensure your portfolio is tracked,
monitored and optimized at all times.
Non-Siscretionary PMS is a consultative and transparent method of investing.
With NSPMS, the investor is always consulted and informed of all investment
decisions, thus giving him total control of the portfolio.
