8. Private Wealth
Warren Buffet once said, “It is not necessary to do
extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.”
At KAG, we love to interact with our clients through their
own channels and at their own pace. But we try to have the
right conversations, which are centered around them and
their dreams, in a transparent and personalized way.
Our endeavour is to understand our clients’ needs and
intentions, then ‘work within the system’ to create solutions
to help them. This is our recipe to unique client
experiences.
In addition, we use this knowledge to offer holistic wealth
solutions, encompassing areas such as tax, trusts, estate
and retirement planning, risk management etc.
9. Private Wealth
We are committed to help our clients reach their life goals. We
offer professional services with integrity and transparency. We
believe in being objective and impartial and not to be
subordinated to personal gain or advantage.. We maintain highest
level of confidentiality and undertake thorough diligence on our
service process and delivery.
PLANNING
In today's uncertain economy, financial planning has become
increasingly important. With an overwhelming number of options
for saving and investing, managing your finances can be difficult.
Whether you are an affluent individual or in the process of
building your wealth, the plan helps you see the big picture and
set life goals.
STRATEGY
A financial strategy has to start early, continues for a life time and
largely depends on the key phases of one's life, the risk appetite
and the liquidity requirement. Spending, saving and budgeting
also play crucial roles in developing the strategy. One should also
be prepared for contingencies and plan ahead for the
dependents in case of an eventuality.
RESULTS
Result of a financial plan is a joint effort between the client and
the planner. One should set realistic and measurable goals,
understand the effects of each financial decision and periodically
evaluate the progress.

12. Business Development
While many businesses have top-notch sales teams with
skillsets and capabilities to pursue new business
opportunities, many of them seem to pursue only
immediate opportunities and often don’t have the
bandwidth and are too expensive a resource to concentrate
on building new pipeline.
We work with clients that realise the need for a dedicated
Business Development function which can articulate
complex messages to senior executives, utilise the same
advanced sales skills and methodologies the sales teams are
deploying, build and execute target account plans in
conjunction with top management, and work
collaboratively to develop the opportunities they find
beyond the first engagement to maximise the pipeline
generated, reduce funnel leakage and ensure that sale
expenditure is invested wisely.

business leads for our clients which ultimately contributed to the bottom line.
