Investment Advisory Services

We help clients draw up a relevant financial plan based on their cash flows, assets, liabilities & goals to get a realistic picture of how to navigate their future financial life. If not a financial plan, at the very least, an investment objective is something we would like to insist to our dear clients to be clear about. Things like, time horizon, moneys needed after a particular time, non-negotiability of the want & so on.

We believe that risk is a very broad term & applies not just to investments losing their value but also to clients not being able to fund their financial goals on time. Thus backup is required to know course of action if risk/risks play(s) out.

We offer our Investment Advisory Services as a fee only activity.

INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS –

It is this philosophy that enables us to successfully manage wealth for close to 120 families AT FIRM LEVEL



The way we engage with our clients is as below:


A ‘no-strings attached’ and ‘getting to know each other’ introductory first meet with the client. This meet doesn’t obligate any fees on your part.

We usually offer to undertake a basic financial plan for the client which is equivalent to a financial MRI. Any decision with regard to revisiting the existing portfolio or creating a new one rests on this aspect.

Creation of a revised plan is the next stage wherein we analyse the opportunities or associated risks. This is a huge exercise but definitely worth it as the client comes to know whether he’s on the right path.

This is naturally followed by asset allocation that’s best suited to the client’s situation apart from taking care of the universal needs viz safety, post-tax returns and liquidity at the appropriate time.

As we move along we carry out an annual periodical review to assess the emerging opportunities or threats. This helps us to know if anything in the client’s life has changed that requires the change in his portfolio in order to serve him better.

At the end of the day, even if one doesn’t have a plan, every investment decision is backed by a reason. It could be fear, greed, a journalist’s advice, a TV channel’s hot tip, a relative’s recommendation or whatever, but there is no reason more sound than your own comprehensive financial plan to tell you what to invest, where to invest, how much to invest and what period to stay invested for. All this comes with the services of a professionally qualified and well-meaning financial planner-advisor. Consider this, in case of health advice, would you take medicines suggested by your friend or would you rather go to a medical professional? Think about it.

INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION
PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS

 
 




Our years of experience gained from studying numerous clients’ success stories and goal failures is that they were not due to poor return from an asset class but invariably due to lack of pre-planning and carrying out the plan to the last details.

We strongly believe that, as a client, your portfolio is good enough only if it is backed by a calculated plan that is unique to your situation. Thus the portfolio is meant to serve the plan and not the other way round.

Our investment recommendation philosophy requires that every portfolio follows a detailed & written financial plan that doesn’t leave out any aspect of a client’s financial life. It is then important to follow the plan religiously. We strongly believe that risk management is the default activity in any investment activity. Behavioural counselling, a detailed financial/ investment plan and consistent communication are the tools we employ to help our clients realise their goals. We would like to minimize time and effort on our clients’ part to manage their moneys when instead they could use same time and effort to do the things, they find enjoyable. This is the philosophy that enables us to successfully manage business for close to 120 families.
