Viewed a TV discussion on wealth management and transfer of wealth to the next generation in which two wealth managers discussed various asset classes for next 5-10 years. Some points which came out of that discussions are as under :
1) In India most people have wealth in gold and real estate . Of total wealth roughly 70 % is in real estate, in developed countries this % is only 15 %.
2) Wealth in financial assets such as shares,mutual funds, bonds,fixed income will increase in next 5-10 years substantially.
3) The reason for real estate steep appreciation in last few years was because of housing loans and the black money transactions in the sector.Now with demonetisation and GST the black money is reduced considerably and that is why property prices are stagnant for last 2 -3 years.
4) They were of the view that property ( residential ) will appreciate max by 7-8 % CAGR for next decade.
5) Every person must have a will ( preferably registered and done in presence of a doctor ) to ease transfer of wealth to the next generation....
6) The inflation of 5-6 % is false it is mostly food inflation...in real terms the inflation (considering children education,studies abroad,holidays and travels ) is 12 % pa...so if your wealth does not grow above 12 % CAGR, it losses its value.
7) Important members of the family should spend atleast 2-3 hours in a year togather discussing where the family wealth is ....bank accounts,bank lockers,demat accounts,mutual funds,insurance policies,housing loans, housing society nominations,Govt bonds etc and make notes which will be very useful in case of demise of earning member others can refer to these notes and they are not in the blank.
