Investment Management
What
Investment management is focused on increasing the value of assets on
behalf of clients. These assets could include equities (shares), bonds,
property and cash. Clients can be institutions who have large amounts of
money to invest, or individuals. Wealth managers are sometimes called
Private Bankers and their clients are generally high net worth individuals.
Investment managers use different strategies to invest and they have to
consider the asset allocation and construction of portfolios. Integral to
their role is their relationships with investment analysts, who research and
identify potential and hopefully lucrative growth and income opportunities
that meet clients investment goals. Anyone working in investment
management must adhere to regulations set by the Financial Services
Authority (FSA).
