10. Motives for holding cash
Transaction motive: This is the motive of day-to-day routine transactions to
meet daily requirements. You need cash to buy groceries, meet travel daily
expenses etc.
Precautionary motive: This is to take precaution against unforeseen events like
natural calamities, riots, strike or any other emergencies.
Speculative motive: This is to take part in investment needs like investing in
securities - shares, bonds, debentures etc when the right time arises.
Compensation motive: A minimum balance is needed to avail of bank
accounts, credit cards, ATM cards, personal loans etc.
An efficient management of cash flows is aimed at generating surplus income by
budgeting or controlling the client’s income and expenditure.
Personal financial planning consists of three general activities:
Controlling day-to-day financial affairs
Choosing and following a course toward medium and long term financial goals
Building a financial safety net to prevent financial disasters
12. Lease Financing
Lease financing enables the renting or leasing of assets rather than buying
the assets.
Items like cars, consumer durables, computers or a house may be leased.
Generally leases are of two types:
Operating Lease: A short-term lease. The possession of asset returns to
the owner or the lessor at the end of the lease term.
Finance Lease: Here the lessee has an option to buy the asset at the end
of the lease tenure. Generally for a longer period.
13. Personal Financial Statement Analysis
Financial Ratio
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Basic Liquidity Ratio = Liquid Assets/ Monthly expenses
Expanded Liquidity Ratio = (Liquid Assets + Other Financial Assets)/
monthly Expenses
SOLVENCY RATIOS
Liquid Asset Coverage Ratio = Liquid Assets/ Total Debt
Solvency Ratio = Liquid + Other Financial Assets/ Total Debt
Current Ratio = Liquid Assets/ Current Liabilities
NET WORTH RATIOS
Net worth Growth Ratio = Net Increase in Net worth/ Net worth at the
beginning of the year
14. Financial Ratios
RISK RATIOS
Life Insurance Coverage Ratio = Net Worth + Death Benefits/ Salary
TAX RATIOS
Effective Income tax ratio = Income tax/ total realized increases in net worth
INFLATION PROTECTION RATIOS
Inflation Hedge Ratio = Equity, personal and tangible assets / Net Worth
15. Financial Mathematics
Time value of money
Calculation of annuities
Loan repayment schedule
Inflation adjusted interest rates

16. Economic Environment and Indicators
Inflation
Monetary and fiscal policy
Key indicators: GDP, Business cycle
17. INFLATION/ DEFLATION
A situation of rising prices.
The most popular measure of inflation in India is change in the Whole Price
Index (WPI) over a period of time.
The WPI is an index measure of the wholesale prices of a selected basket of
goods and services in the economy.
The WPI is expressed as a percentage with reference to some base year,
according to a formula
WPI= (aggregate price for current year/aggregate price for the base year)* 100
An alternative measure is consumer price Index, which is concerned with the
consumer market for goods and services. There is a considerable co-movement
between these two indices with the CPI tending to follow the WPI with a lag.

19. Monetary and fiscal policy
Fiscal Policy: controls level of government spending and raises revenue
through taxation.
Monetary Policy: controls through regulation of interest rates, the money
supply and inflation in the domestic economy.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) controls and influences the economy by
means of monetary and credit policy.
The Monetary and Credit Policy relate to the attempt to control the money
supply and demand-led hence inflation in the economy.

21. GDP
GDP is the measure of total value of final goods and services
produced in the domestic economy each year. The following
is often used
GDP=
GDP= C + II+ G +
C+ +G+ (X- M)
(X- M)
C = personal consumption spending on goods and services
C = personal consumption spending on goods and services
II= Private sector fixed capital expenditure
= Private sector fixed capital expenditure
G = Government expenditure
G = Government expenditure
(X-M)= Net of export receipts (X) and import payments (M)
(X-M)= Net of export receipts (X) and import payments (M)
The relationship highlights actual rupee expenditure for goods and services produced in the
economy for measuring GDP.
This equation includes all key players involved in the economy – consumers / households,
business (private sector) and government.
For living standards to rise in India, GDP must grow at a faster rate than the population.
This way, there is greater quantity of goods and services per person.
22. BUSINESS CYCLES- Phases
The recurrent periods of economic growth and recession are business
cycles.
They represents a pattern of business expansion and contraction over a
number of years.
The global integration of Indian economy has increased the importance of
business cycle for decision-making.
• Expansion/ upswing/ recovery: upturn
in business activity
• Peak/ Boom: over production and
buildup of excessive inventory
• Downswing/ recession: characterized
by a reduction in output and
investment
• Trough: recession bottoms and
production levels off

27. Principle of Insurance
Risk: Risk is an uncertain event or condition, which if occurs, would have an
undefined or unknown impact on the achievement of objectives.
Classification of risk: There are different kinds of risks, some of which
may be insured, according to the nature and possible consequences of the
hazard involved.
The following classifications of risk should be noted:
Pure and Speculative risks
Fundamental and Particular risks
Financial & Non-financial Risk
28. Principle of Insurance
Basic Characteristics of Insurance
Risk pooling:
Risk transfer from individual to a pool of the insurance company’s
policyholders.
The company charges premium for accepting risk
It ‘pools’ premiums from a group of policyholders into a general
fund to fund the death benefits under contract.
Law of large numbers:
Larger the pool, more predictable the amount of losses in a given
period.
Since not all members of the pool are the same age or in the same
health condition, we can assume not all of them will be making a
claim at the same time.
29. Principle of Insurance
Requirements of Insurable Risks
Sufficient number of homogeneous exposure
The loss must occur by chance
The loss must be definite
The loss must be significant
The loss rate must be predictable
The loss must not be catastrophic to the insurer

Legal capacity of parties and
Purpose of contract should be legal and not contrary to public interest
Insurance contracts are special type of contracts which have
certain additional distinguishing features associated with it.
Indemnity
Insurable interest
Subrogation
Utmost good faith
Adhesion
Waiver & estoppels
Deductible
32. Life Insurance
Term life policy
Whole life policy
Endowment assurance policy
Human life value
This concept maintains that a person should carry life insurance that is equal to
the present value of the capitalized value of his future net earnings.
How to Use This Method
Estimate the individual's average annual earned income from the person's
present age to the age of retirement.
Deduct the amount that is not allocated to others. Money spent for income
taxes and all other self-maintenance expenses should be deducted in this
step. Typically this is a percentage of salary.
Using a reasonable rate of interest, determine the present value of the
amounts allocated to others for the working period used in first step.
33. Annuities
An annuity is any series of payments made or received at regular intervals.
Annuity benefits protect against the risk of outliving one's financial
resources.
Life annuity- Insurance company GUARANTEES that the individual will
receive the same payments each year no matter how long they live.
Purchased the same way as life insurance.
A person can either purchase the annuity with a one-time large payment or
with smaller yearly premiums before the annuity's payments begin.

45. Return
Return is incentives for doing investment.
To part with money, investors require compensation for
The time period for which the resources are committed
The expected rate of price-rise
The uncertainty of the payments in future
Type of returns:
Holding period return
Annualized return (CAGR)
Risk free return
46. Measurement of return
Historical return: Total return, Average return
Expected return: The expected rate of return is the weighed average of all
possible returns multiplied by their respective probabilities.
n
E(R) = ∑Ri Pi
i=1
Where, E(R) = Expected return from the stock
Ri = Return form the stock under state i
Pi = Probability that the state i occurs
n = Number of possible states of the world
Portfolio return: The expected return on a portfolio of securities weighted
average of expected return for the individual investment in a portfolio.
47. Risk
Risk is the volatility of return on the investment.
Type of risk:
Market Risk
Reinvestment Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Purchasing Power Risk
Liquidity Risk
Political Risk
Exchange Rate risk
48. Measurement of Risk
Historical risk:
Variance: It measures the dispersion of returns around the expected return. Larger
the dispersion, more is the risk involved.
Standard Deviation: It is a measure of variability of returns of an asset as
compared with its mean or expected value. It measures total risk.
Beta: The beta coefficient is a measure of systematic risk and should be used for a
diversified portfolio.
Expected risk:
The variance of a probability distribution is the sum of the squares of the deviations of
actual returns from the expected return, weighted by the associated probabilities.
σ 2 = ∑ Pi Ri –E(Ri) 2
Where,
E(Ri) = Expected return from the stock
Ri = Return from stock under state i
Pi = Probability that the event i occurs
n = Number of possible events
49. Portfolio risk
Covariance: It is a measure of the degree to which two variable move
together over time. A positive covariance indicates that variables move in the
same direction, and a negative covariance indicates that they move in opposite
directions
Correlation coefficient: Covariance is an absolute number and can be
difficult to interpret, it is often converted to correlation coefficient.
Coefficient of determination(R2): It is calculated by squaring the
correlation coefficient (R). It gives the variation in one variable explained by
another.
Standard Deviation: The SD of a portfolio is not the average of the
standard deviation of individual stock.
σ = √ (w12 σ12) + (w2 2σ22) + (2w1w2COV12)
Variance: The square of SD is variance.
50. Risk Adjusted Return
The Treynor Measure: Relative measure of the risk adjusted performance of a portfolio
based on the market risk (i.e. the systematic risk).
Treynor's Index (Ti) = (Ri - Rf)/Bi.
Where, Ri represents return on fund, Rf is risk free rate of return and Bi is beta of the fund.
In comparing, if Ti >= 0 ,that is good; if <0 , that is not good.
The Sharpe Measure: Relative measure of risk adjusted performance of a portfolio based
on total risk (systematic risk+ nonsystematic risk )
Sharpe Index (Si) = (Ri - Rf)/Si
Where, Si is standard deviation of the fund.
In comparing ,bigger is better
Jenson Model: Alpha,ά, is an absolute measure of performance and measures how well a
managed portfolio performed relative to an unmanaged portfolio of equal risk.
It determines how much the realized return differs from the required return. The following
formula is used to find alpha:
ά = Rp- Rf+ (R m- Rf) Beta
The alpha value indicates whether a portfolio manager is superior or inferior in market timing
and stock selection. A positive alpha indicates a superior fund manager, and negative alpha
indicates an inferior fund manager

interest. Therefore, if the net-interest is given, it has to be grossed up to arrive
at the taxable amount. Net Interest can be grossed up as under:
Net interest x 100
100 - Rate of TDS
The rates of T.D.S. are as under:
In case of securities listed on a recognized stock exchange –
