"Principles of what is right must be followed for a fair market", say industry experts at the 4th India Wealth Management Conference

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] August 06 (ANI/NewsVoir): CFA Society India, in collaboration with CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, hosted its 4th India Wealth Management Conference in Mumbai.
The theme of this year's conference was 'Wealth Management and the Leap Forward'. It brought together global and Indian experts to share their insights on best practices and frameworks on setting up a family office with philanthropic goals, life planning, manager selection, and credit markets.
The conference, attended by over 400 wealth management professionals, provided an excellent opportunity to delegates to learn from and network with some of the best minds in the wealth management industry and fellow CFA® charterholders.
"Finance is for the ultimate good of society. Wealth management professionals, many of whom are CFA® charterholders, have an important role to play here by setting high standards and demonstrating the highest level of professionalism while managing the wealth of their clients," said Navneet Munot, CFA, chairman, CFA Society India and CIO, SBI Funds Management Pvt. Ltd.

"The markets need to understand the governor, his nuances, and that they need to give him time for his decisions. Central banks worry a lot about the credibility of their actions but during crisis time, one must learn to relax and take practical decisions", said Dr Duvvuri Subbarao, Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India on the challenges and dilemmas in central banking.
Known for his knowledge of the banking industry, Uday Kotak, Founder, MD, and CEO, Kotak Mahindra Bank advised the current generation of asset managers to give value to the customer, learn everything about digital, and get more proactive when it comes to wealth management.
"Directors on a company's board need to ask questions, no matter how silly they seem. Solutions come from the pursuit of these questions. One of the many important pillars of governance is directors, not just one but the entire body of directors", he added.
"What's noticeable about tech billionaires in India is that they run their investments the same way they run family businesses, which is very good. In India, we have two misalignments, the intermediaries and the investors, and miscommunication between both can have consequences", said Saurabh Mukherjea, CFA, Founder, Marcellus Investment Managers about new-age investors.
"Dealing with volatility will always be an issue you will have to face in the market. An important question to ask is: do you understand the style of your manager, and are they complementary to the rest of the portfolio?", said Lakshminarayana Kollengode, Chief Endowment Officer, Azim Premji Foundation on setting up a family office with philanthropic goals.
According to him, philanthropic endowments will increase in India over the next few years.
