u Wealth Management Scenario in India….1

ü Wealth Management is the management of a client's wealth by


a professional trained to get maximum value for the client’s
financial assets.

ü An investment Management discipline, it incorporates various


aggregated financial services such as financial planning,
investment portfolio management, etc.

ü With a GDP growth rate hovering around the 9% mark and a


strong future outlook, India’s growth story is making it an
increasingly attractive market for wealth management firms.

ü This trend is expected to continue, with India estimated to


become the third largest global economy by 2030.

u Wealth Management Scenario in India….2

ü India has the key ingredients of a high-growth wealth


management market.

ü An investment Management discipline, it incorporates


various aggregated financial services such as financial
planning, investment portfolio management, etc.

ü We have a very large and young mass affluent segment;

ü An increase in the wealth of global Indians is taking place;

ü Our government’s push to curb illicit leaks and more


tightly regulate markets are other positive factors; and

ü The presence of an increasing share of the organized


market players like - independent wealth advisors and
small brokers/agents who double as financial advisors.

u Wealth Management Scenario in India….3

ü India’s wealthy are relatively young compared with their


international counterparts and, hence, take a different
approach to wealth management.

ü The demographic difference presents an opportunity to create


new products to address the needs of a young population and
leverage new technologies, such as social- and mobile-enabling
investing applications as a key differentiator.

ü India’s wealth management services sector is largely


fragmented, which isn’t surprising given the industry is still in
its early days.

ü Most organized players have so far focused mainly on the urban


segment, leaving untapped about one-fifth of India’s high net
worth individuals (HNWI) population.

u Wealth Management Scenario in India….4

ü Given the nascent stage of the market and a demographic and


regulatory environment that is significantly different from
elsewhere in the world, wealth managers have to consider the
following to succeed in the Indian market:

ü Build a brand and focus on overcoming the trust barrier.

ü Invest in advisor technology to improve advisor productivity


and retention.

ü Evaluate a partnership-based model, coupled with innovative


use of technology, to increase reach.

ü Focus on transparency and compliance, while targeting


customers with attractive, segment-focused products.

u Key skills required for a Wealth Manager

1. Confidence and excellent communication skills: A bulk of wealth


management roles is of the relationship management type.
Here, a confident persona and the ability to carry out
meaningful conversations with HNI clients is a top required
skill. The RM must be able to understand client requirements
and also be able to put forth his /her suggestions to the client
effortlessly.

2. Knowledge of investment products: HNI clients have a lot of


money waiting to be invested in a plethora of different
products. It is essential that the RM or product manager is well
versed with different types of products and is able to suggest
these and even generate new ideas.

3. Spotting investment opportunities: Market awareness is highly


essential. A Wealth Manager needs to be on top of what is ‘hot’
in the market and see if it makes sense for the client to
invest/sell. Mistakes made while suggesting appropriate
investments can cost the employee the client, his/her job or
his/her reputation.

4. Proactive nature: Wealth Managers have to be proactive and


assertive. A shy Wealth Manager or one who is simply reactive
earns no respect from the clients.

5. Problem-solving: Clients call up the RM from time to time to


discuss problems/issues. The RM must be a great problem
solver with good turnaround time.

6. High level of integrity: Since Wealth Managers are privy to


details of the assets of their clients; they have to be high on
integrity or risk losing face for themselves and their firm.
