It uses the simple moving average (SMA), Bollinger band (BB), and moving average convergence divergence (MACD) as technical indicators to generate the buy and sell signals. The study uses the data of treasury bills as a proxy for a risk-free portfolio and the Nifty Total Return Index (TRI) as a proxy for a risky equity portfolio in daily frequency from June 30, 1999, to March 31, 2021. It creates the cumulative wealth index for the sample period using active portfolio management based on the buy and sell signals generated using various technical indicators. The findings suggest that SMA and MACD trading strategies provide better risk-adjusted returns than buy-and-hold and Bollinger band trading strategies. Also, the shorter days moving average outperforms the longer days moving average trading strategy. The trading strategies perform better during the bear market than the bull market.","PeriodicalId":39998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wealth Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"138 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44479751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With increasing complexity in capital markets, financial services and family dynamics, there is a heightened need for integration of the many diverse components of family wealth. But not every advisor can or wants to provide integrated advice and management. There are four markers of an effective integrated advisor—Mastery, Mindset, Method, and Maturity—that make them well suited to serve complex families that need holistic advice and management of their affairs. This article is intended to provide additional confidence to both clients and practitioners as they navigate this developing field.","PeriodicalId":39998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wealth Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"50 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48882488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has spawned a new generation of thought leaders—foxes—who have the ability to fuse knowledge from multiple legal, financial, economic, and social science disciplines. Thinking like a fox yields helpful wealth management insights that take a multi-disciplinary approach to wealth management. The author discusses how those insights have guided his development as a professional and, at his firm, led to the development of a Goals-Based Wealth Management approach to help clients maximize multi-generational wealth as well as the innovative work to establish a taxonomy for four types of mission aligned investments. But what might impact wealth management next, and what innovation in thought leadership might result? Three relevant trends for the practice of wealth management could be an aging world demographic, the retreat from post-Cold War globalism, and a growth in interest in mission-aligned investing.","PeriodicalId":39998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wealth Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"8 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46635263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past 40 years, the family office industry has expanded into much more than an entity to preserve family wealth; rather, it acts as a vehicle for investment diversification, risk management, and next-generation engagement, along with opportunities for impact.

Index investing probably is the single most visible development still visible today. The private wealth world waited longer to embark on the same path of reformation, but made up for its initial lateness by innovating at a fast pace since the early 1990s. Three crucial changes accompanied a gradual shift from the inherited wealth, as the main client, to the advent of new wealth, which was arguably more prepared to ask for new approaches. The recognition that taxes matter and that tax day is everyday was, chronologically, the first, though it capitalized in part on work that had been carried out in the institutional world with certain insurance companies. The advent of open architecture simply reflected a reality which already existed in the institutional world, but was not necessarily appreciated by managers who were “product-driven.” This allowed a broadening of the strategies offered to individuals, including the use of alternative and illiquid strategies. Finally, the recognition of the fact that individuals have multiple goals, multiple time horizons, and different risk tolerances for different goals brought Goals-Based Wealth Management, with a key catalyst being the work of Das, Markowitz, Scheid, and Statman in 2010. Looking ahead, one can see that a lot still has to be done, with an important element probably involving the integration of insurance into the wealth management mix.","PeriodicalId":39998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wealth Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"14 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49069458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Financial advisers must evolve into well-being advisers if they are to compete for today’s clients and future ones, because many of the traditional services of financial advisers, whether portfolio asset allocation or portfolio rebalancing, are now generic, provided by robo-advisers at lower costs.

Fortunately, wealth management has become democratized in that time, bringing to a greater number of people the techniques that once were available only to institutions and the very wealthy. Alpha, the value added relative to an appropriate risk-adjusted benchmark, has been shrinking for a variety of reasons. However, factor-based investing has grown, offering a convenient way to access the premiums once assigned to alpha. Tax-aware mutual funds have become more common, while the rise of exchange-traded funds allows investors to defer capital gains. Continuing advances in efficiency have enabled separately managed accounts to be offered for lower assets and at lower costs. The appropriate vehicle depends on the specifics of the investor, the characteristics of the strategy, and the type of account where it is held. Wealth management should continue to evolve to meet the needs of investment professionals and those they serve.","PeriodicalId":39998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wealth Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"21 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45356995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
