III. Questionnaires

1.  Analyzing the Financial  Attitude

Statements : Options

I need more money than I can use Yes No

It bothers me when I discover I could have gotten the same thing

for less somewhere else.

Yes No

Ibehave as if money were the ultimate symbol of success. Yes NoI show signs of nervousness when I don¶t have enough money. Yes No

I dream I will one day be fabulously rich. Yes No

I find it difficult to part with money for any reason. Yes No

I worry that I will not have enough money to live comfortably

when I retire.

Yes No

Money controls the things I do or don¶t do in my life. Yes No

When I was a child, money seemed to be the most important

thing in my life.

Yes No

I argue or complain about the cost of things. Yes No

Scoring: Count the number of µYes¶. This determines the degree to which money controls your 

life.

Financial attitudes are measure of one¶s state of mind, opinions and judgment about money in the

world in which they live. They reflect a position he/she has taken with the values inherent. This

gives a slight idea of the degree to which money controls your life. The number of ³yes´ in the

replies in Mr. Yadav¶s case indicates that impact or influence of money in your life is ³high´; the

same can be attributed to the stage of life cycle in which he falls. A young ambitious

professional with tons of dreams is what describes him best. Thus he wants to be able to

spend on the necessities as well as some luxuries of life.

The responses changes so drastically with the stage in life cycle, as far as Mr. Yadav is

concerned. He places his kids in the first place, he compromises nowhere where kids are in

 picture, there health and education is what occupies first place in each of his responses.

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 you circled each item in the pair activity:

Car 3

Charitable Giving 2Education 4

Hobbies/Sports 0

Housing 4

Personal Care 1

Retirement 3

Social 1

Travel 2

Quite substantiating the personal goals are the responses in the questionnaire, the dream home 

to accommodate the growing family in future together with education for children is what

concerns Mr. Yadav.

4. Risk Tolerance Questionnaire

  Please indicate which of the following statement best describe your attitude towards

investment volatility.

  Capital preservation is of critical importance to me and I am looking at low-risk 

investment options.

  I am more concerned with preserving capital than maximizing capital gains and I 

can tolerate infrequent moderate negative returns in a market cycle for the

 potential of consistent average returns

  I understand that pursuing higher returns means that I may have to tolerate several

quarters of negative returns through difficult phases in a market cycle.

  My main concern is maximizing capital gains and it can tolerate more than one

year of negative returns, through difficult phases in a market cycle, for the potential of higher returns.

  How much of an unrealized loss of capital are you prepared to tolerate in your 

investments?(Please tick one box only)

  Zero

  Less than 10%

  Between 10 % and 20%

  Between 20% and 30 %

  Between 30 % to 50%

  More than 50 %

  How would you like to classify your investment style?

  Conservative

  Moderate

  Aggressive

  In terms of a hypothetical portfolio that runs for a period of five years, what is it that

you will be most comfortable with?

  Portfolio A: +80% -50% +70% -25% +60% +60% (CAGR: 20%)

  Portfolio B: 25% 25% -5% 30% -10% 15% (CAGR: 12%)

Personal Wealth Management Page 20

  If a holding that forms a significant part of your investment portfolio if you were to

lose 25% of its value what would be your reaction?

  Should not happen as I wish to have a lower stop loss limit

  Sell immediately and cut losses if it continues to fall in Price.

  Assume that there is a problem and would want to find out the reason, based on

which I may want to exit the stock or add to my holdings

  Hold on and hope to sell it once it breaks even.

  Buy more and bring down the average holding cost believe in the holding

  My experience with investing so far has been:

  Mainly low- risk debt investments- can¶t remember anything adverse

  Mainly low- risk debt investment- there has been a few default/ delays.

  Mainly debt investments- comfortable experience so far 

  I am wary of equity investing- it has been a losing experience

  Iwant to be in equities- have not got it right so far 

  I invest in equities- I know what it takes

  As a rule, there is a correlation between risk and return. Higher the return potential,

higher is the risk assumed. Within the framework of your investment objective, which

among the following would apply to you the most?

  I do not like risk and am in no mood to jeopardize my capital at any point in time.

  Certain risks are worth taking in order to achieve higher but I wish to limit the

 potential downside.

  Certain risks are worth taking if they are well-understood and but I wish to be

comfortable with the worst case scenario.  I am comfortable with taking risks as long as they do not jeopardize my core

investment objectives and cash flow requirements

quite well prepared to meet his emergency needs. However he needs planning for Insurance and

liquidity of funds. An emergency fund needs to be built to provide for new addition in the family

as well as any contingencies that arise in the future.

IV Recommendations & Suggestions

After studying the financial position and understanding the requirements of Mr Yadav over short,

Medium and long term perspective, following are some recommendations for his financial planning:

1)  He should continue investing regularly a fixed percentage of his monthly savings say 20% in to his

savings account

2)  Mr Yadav needs to start planning for his retirement, which he currently is not considering. For this, I 

suggest he starts investing in liquid instruments such as Post offices instruments (Monthly income

 plans), Mutual funds should be made in such a way that he gets the benefit as soon as he nears the age

of 60

3)  He must realize that he should have a regular source of income after he himself stops going to

 business. For this, he can rent any of his properties and enjoy that income for the rest of his life.

4)  Mr. Yadav should go for more of equity route than at present since he has huge investable surplus in

hand which can earn him more returns over the periods of time. The mutual funds are suggested

considering the return and risk grade. The risk grade in all the mutual funds mentioned above is low

and return grade high. The three year returns on the Diversified Equity funds is between 66-83% thus

giving sufficient returns to Mr. Yadav to meet his medium term requirements.

5)  Mr Yadav should take health and accident policies for each member of the family. This will protect

the family from any unfortunate event.
