He is now seeking advice to invest his yearly savings of about Rs. 12 Lakh into various assets other than business, which will enable him to meet his financial goals in life. At present Jays annual living expenses are about Rs. 10 lakh including household expenses, nursery fee, personal expenses & one vacation in India per year. They have consciously decided not to spend more than their annual savings unless in case of emergency. Jay has now requested you to prepare a Financial Planfor his family which will provide crystal clear direction for the future course of action towards achievement of his financial goals.

After discussions with Jay & his wife and on the basis of financial information provided by him, you have recommended the following investments keeping in view the benefits of diversified asset allocation: CREDIT CARD OUTSTANDING:Before starting any investments you have strongly suggested Jay to clear his credit card outstanding as he is paying roughly 30% p.a. interest on his outstanding balance. FAMILY.S FINANCIAL SECURITY:In case Jay Mehta meets any eventuality, the living expenses for survivors are assumed at Rs. 5 lakh per annum post inflation considering Shefalis Life Expectancy of 75 years.

Hence at the moment you recommend Jay to go for 30 years term Life Insurance Policy with Sum Assured of Rs 70 Lakh which will be enhanced further in future . This will also include accident death benefit, premium waiver benefit in the case of permanent disability. For this the total premium comes to Rs. 35,000/- per annum. A comprehensive mediclaim insurance of Rs. 5 lakh for the whole family. GOLD:Gold is considered to be one of the most liquid assets & the most popular mode of investment in India. Gold prices reflect an annual growth rate of roughly 10% p.a. Thus you recommend Jay to allocate 5% of his annual savings i.e. Rs. 60,000/- into this asset class as well. After having implemented the above recommendations Jay.s asset allocation would be diversified sufficiently to provide ample returns over the period. ESTATE PLANNING: As part of estate planning strategy you have suggested Jay to prepare a Will & get it registered. He should also issue a power of attorney in favor of his wife Shefali.
