You Expense last month was higher on account of international travel which you did. You have coverage of more than 6 months contingency expenses and thus this money can be invested in Liquid Mutual Funds. This is in line with your agreement with "RAHUL" your Financial Planner.b) Your real estate investment is Rs. 7.4 cr This has not seen any movement over last 6 months, in fact with the one time extra charge in one of the apartments that you own, your rental returns have turned negative. You need to take some action on the same.c) Your Stock Market Investment is Rs. 10.25cr . You have an absolute return of 15% over 12 months. However If you had not invested basis the tip given by your relative then your returns would have been 21 percent.d) Your Mutual Funds value is Rs.30.23 cr. They have given you 3% more than the benchmark. As per your Financial Planner, in one of the schemes that you have invested in the objectives are getting changed and hence they want you to move away from that scheme into different scheme.e) Your Coverage into life policies are adequate, however you have not purchased proper coverage of the goods in your house which you have taken in last 90 days, one of them being the latest 200 inch TV which your Husband has bought for his sports. f) You international funds have been performing below average, as there is crisis in Mexico and Russia. Their value at Today's exchange price is Rs. 5 cr.g) Your Networth therefore is 45 cr after reducing the loan component."Well", says Prabha, "What are recommendations of the Financial Planner overall all. And how do I shift money into a different fund?""The Investment Advisor has recommended following 2 funds if you give confirmation to me which will be recorded using block chain technology then I can complete the transaction for you." Replied "RAJ" the "DIPA.""Confirmed", said Prabha. "Please show me the real estate I bought on the Mumbai Thane Highway.""RAJ", gets the latest feed from the satellite and shows her the location of the property on the Mumbai Thane Highway."The Approach Road is not good and does not seem to change in some time". "Okay put a note to self to evaluate this property in next 6 months else to sell the same" Prabha starts giving instructions to "RAJ".Also "RAJ", says Prabha, "Please plan a birthday party for my husband. Need to call close friends, relatives, his colleagues, my friends, our interest group etc."Prabha knew that "RAJ" knew whom to invite and how to optimise the date and location based on her and other special guests' preferences and availabilities, and, of course, her budget.The budget was based on her assessment of what would maximise the "life satisfaction" of Prabha and her guests. This calculation took into account not only her current and future financial position but also framed it in the context of the opportunity cost of the event. With the above done, Prabha instructs "RAJ" to close the session and walks out thinking a review well done.Note: Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner.
