Wealth Management - General Program
Wealth Management - General Program
1. Course Overview
Wealth Management (Personal Finance) is one of the most significant factors in our lives. It is
very important that funds are available as and when required at various stages of life.
Unavailability of funds at important stages of our life leads to financial distress and leads to many
medical and non-medical problems. There are certain planned and unplanned events in our life.
On the one hand education of our children, their marriage, our retirement etc are some of the
planned events of our life but at the same time some medical urgency, accident or death of any
earning member might be some unplanned events. Many of these events are beyond our control
but availability of funds when required can be planned to avoid any financial distress. In other
words, we cannot stop the rain but can plan for an umbrella.
This course looks at the many challenges faced by an individual in a complex financial
environment and rising uncertainties of one’s life. It focuses on achieving long-term financial
comfort of individual and family through goal setting, developing financial and life strategies,
acquiring personal financial planning knowledge and managing risk throughout one's life. In order
to make this course more experiential case studies, application based assignments and exercises,
videos, and guest lecturers would be used along with classroom lectures and discussions. Specific
areas of study include personal financial statements, budgets, income tax planning, time value of
money, effective retirement planning, and estate planning.
