They provide financial/investment advice, accounting/tax services, legal and estate planning all in one for high net worth individuals. All aspects of their finances.

admin answers:

A wealth management service will not help you become rich any more than any other kind of firm, and you don’t become wealthy by entrusting someone else to handle your finances and plan for you. If a private banker sitting behind a desk could do that, why on earth would he be working at that job?

You will always be sold products by all of these firms because that is where they make their money. Some of these products will work out, and some of them will fail miserably, but all of them will put money in your banker’s pocket. So don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything.

As a high net worth client at a private bank, it is an extreme rarity for my banker to suggest anything worthwhile to me. Every investment decision made thus far has come from me. Please believe me when I tell you that you need to educate yourself in these matters, as anyone, especially bankers, will be less interested in giving you a good plan and an education and more interested in keeping you ignorant so that you continue to need their services.

admin answers:

What exactly is a “wealth management team”? What licensing, references, education and track record does the company have? A banker works for the corporation which performs for the stockholders, on a quarterly basis. You need sound financial advice, not the illusion of “wealth management”. If you have wealth which requires management, then there must be trusted, ‘successful’ family friends to whom you can turn for advice.

Edit: Talk to VanGuard or similar company.

Wealth management is big in singapore. Singapore has a much larger than average percentage of wealthy people plus most singaporeans are into investing heavily for the future as the government doesn’t give monthly allowances for seniors like some other countries. So singaporeans love buying stocks, shares, insurance policies, etc. The bank interest rates here are so low that people don’t even bother with fixed deposits so much. And who better to help the average joe to manage their money? And if you are good, you get paid a lot. Besides, living in singapore is cheap!!

“How to help my sick husband locate his retirement check?
My husband reach 62 last last Aug 2006.He filed for his retirement and disability benefit last May 06 & should have his 1st check last Oct.Until now he did not have his check.We do not know where it is.He told me to check at it in his personal email and apartment but i cant log on to his email coz his daughter(who hate me and our child) change the password.I didn’t care changing the password before when i have access to it coz i trust her & dont want to deprive her of her rights.When she does that she and her family no longer visit my husband in the hospital 7months now,though she lives very near him.I live in Philippines and can’t check his mail at his apartment or at the post office.I wish there is a way i can.Can SS office do a visit to my husband to solve this problem?or can i contact them in behalf of my husband?What must i do?its no problem with me IF her other daughter got the check if only they were not ignoring my husband in the hospital.My husband have a stroke but can talk.”

There is no quick answer to your question.

Most hospitals have patient representatives that might be able to help since your husband has had a stroke and has limited function. Suggest to him that he ask his patient representative to assist him by contacting the issuer of the retirement check to inquire about the status of his payments. If they are being taken by an unauthorized party, then the issuer can mail them to a new address.

Additionally, a number of social service organizations might be able to help make sure that your husband receives his retirement checks and that they aren’t being sent to someone who isn’t using them specifically for his benefit.

Being in the Phillipines you will be immediately suspect if you try to act on your husband’s behalf. (The first question I had is why are you in the Phillipines when your husband is elsewhere– in the hospital recovering from a stroke?) While you could get a power-of-attorney from him, you will ultimately have a difficult time resolving anything from so far away even if the entitites you deal with are not suspicious of your activities. It would be best for your husband to find local assistance or for you to go to him and help handle his affairs in that locality.

65 is the maximum age for retirement in Canada. 55 is the minimum age for retirement in Canada. People who are retired can continue to work if they wish to or Volunteer. But if they put in for an earlier retirement claim, they won’t get the full amount of the money, for claiming earlier.

Okay… I did the time value of money calculations on a spreadsheet… I know they can probably be done on a piece of scratch paper with an HP-12c type calculator, but it’s late.

I ended up with her needing to save dollarsignr67,827.89 every year in between now and retirement. I assumed that all withdrawals and deposits were made at the beginning of periods, because it did not state otherwise.

Here was my method:

1. I started by calculating the present value at “Day 1″ of retirement of all her future withdrawals. This amount was dollarsignr1,766,537.06

2. I then calculated the future value of her current savings account and the bequest at retirement “Day 1″ as well. The savings account would be worth dollarsignr12,859.21. The bequest would be worth dollarsignr6,850.43.

3. I netted the present value of all her future cash withdrawals, with the future value of her current nd expected investment.

4. I then calculated the required payment, assuming beginning of the period deposits and 6.5% rate of return, to acquire the shortfall amount of dollarsignr1,746.827.42.

Hence the above answer.

I ran it through year-by-year breakout in excel, and came within .59 cents of being dead broke at the end of her life.

Hope that helps… Let me know what you come up with!

Well you did not get to many responses – i myself am retired but if i was in the work force as self employed i would have a regular ira which is pre taxed money you can set a side for retirement — and also i would be putting money in a roth ira which is post taxed money — both have the same ground rules for taking out the money– if you want more info you could type self employed retirement plans into search for question and you should be enough info to do a paper — good luck!!!

In your 401k, the money sits in a money market account until you make investment decisions. The money market account will, over time, just keep things safe and in place. As for an investment, you would do well to put it all in the S&P500 Index Fund, if they have it, and just forget it. You may also need to make a choice that says each monthly contribution should go to the S&P500 Index Fund. The S&P500 Index has, with dividends and market value, an average annual return of 10% over the last 30 years. I doubt very much that any other choice you have can show that good a record.

The fund represents 500 of the better corporations in America, so you would be fully diversified in just about every business you can think of. You would own railroads, trucking, banks, drug companies, insurance, computers, food, oil, housing, manufacturing, retail stores, mining, aircraft, airlines, glass, paint, hotels, resorts,auto parts,clothing, cosmetics, health care, utilities and on and on. You cannot get any more diversified than that. Again, be sure they know you want contributions to go straight to the S&P500 Index Fund. Make some choices about life style and contribute as much of your paycheck as you can. Over time, this is a good choice and a safe bet for a nice retirement.

Among the companies you would own in the S&P500 fund are Google, Microsoft, Pennys, Radio Shack, Sara Lee, Southwest Airlines, Time Warner, Walt Disney and Wells Fargo. Do a web search on S&P500 companies list for all of them.

Corruption and a complete lack of infrastructure.

China has a lot less corruption and although their infrastructure isn’t great, they have much better infrastructure.

Lets not kid ourselves though… India is the second fastest growing economy in the world…

As for democracy… I wouldn’t say it’s a plus on its own. One party states can work just fine, though democracy is always best in the long run.

A third reason could be:

India was more of a tech sector economy…. Everything was put into getting jobs in the Tech sector. They tried to skip manufacturing

Well, China started off with a manufacturing base and is now moving to the technology sector.

Reality is in India, there are not enough jobs for the people, they didn’t start with manufacturing like China so they are in the process of revisiting manufacturing before moving on to technology.
