'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.
Speaking on the challenges and dilemmas in central banking, Dr. Duvvuri Subbarao, Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India said, '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.
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. According to him, '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.
Talking about new-age investors, Saurabh Mukherjea, CFA, Founder, Marcellus Investment Managers said, '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.
On setting up a family office with philanthropic goals, Lakshminarayana Kollengode, Chief Endowment Officer, Azim Premji Foundation said, '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? According to him, philanthropic endowments will increase in India over the next few years.
