Introduction and Private Clients Versus Institutional Clients In this reading, we take the perspective of a private wealth manager and discuss the process of designing and executing an investment plan for individual investors. We will cover the tools and techniques used by private wealth managers and how the wealth manager should interact with individual investors for serving their needs. Section 1 discusses the differences between private clients and institutional clients. Section 2 analyzes how to understand the needs and requirements of private clients. Sections 3, 4, and 5 cover client goals, their risk tolerance, and the skills required by private wealth managers. Sections 6 and 7 cover investment planning, capital sufficiency, and retirement planning. Section 8 covers the various components of an investment policy statement. Sections 10 and 11 discuss portfolio construction and monitoring. Sections 13 and 14 cover the ethical and compliance considerations in private wealth management. Finally, Sections 13 and 14 discuss the different client segments that private wealth managers can come across. Private Clients Versus Institutional Clients Private clients include individuals and families who want to invest their personal wealth. Private clients and institutional clients have different concerns relating to investment objectives and constraints, investment governance, investment sophistication, and regulation. In addition, the uniqueness of individuals is an important consideration for private clients. Investment Objectives Private clients Institutional clients Private clients have diverse investment objectives. Some common objectives include: • Financial security in retirement years. • Ability to support family members. • Funding of philanthropic goals. Institutional clients have relatively well- defined objectives. Objectives may not be clearly defined or quantified. For example, consider the goal of ‘financial security in retirement years.’ The client may not be able to quantify when retirement begins, how long it will last, and how much cash flow will be required annually. Objectives may compete with each other and change over time. For example, objectives like ‘financial security in retirement years’ and Objectives are typically related to a specific liability stream. For example, the investment objective of a pension fund is to meet its pension liability. The objectives are not likely to change materially over time.

For example, a private client may want to support his children’s education for the next 5 years and later focus on his own retirement savings. Institutional clients have relatively long time horizons (often theoretically infinite) They generally have a single time horizon and a single investment objective. For example, a university endowment fund will have a very long time horizon and a single objective of meeting the operating expenses of the university. Scale Individual investor portfolios are relatively smaller in size. Therefore these investors face limitations relating to certain asset classes, such as private equity and private real estate. The portfolio size can vary substantially from client to client. Institutional clients generally have large portfolios and often invest in a wider variety of asset classes. Taxes Taxes vary by jurisdiction, and they are a significant and complex consideration for many individual investors. Taxable private clients may favor tax-efficient investments. Taxes vary by jurisdiction. Also, the specific tax rules vary based on the type of institutional client. Tax-exempt institutions may favor investment strategies with high taxable income. Other Distinctions Private clients Institutional clients Investment Governance Private clients have a relatively less formal governance structure.
