Overview of Asset Management
 Asset management is the professional management of various securities
(shares, bonds etc.) and assets (e.g., real estate), to meet specified investment
goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance
companies, pension funds, corporations etc.) or private investors
 Investment managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary (client gives
the bank control over what to do and how to invest) management on behalf of
(normally wealthy) private investors may often refer to their services as wealth
management or portfolio management often within the context of so-called
"private banking".
 The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of
financial analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and
ongoing monitoring of investments. Also, brokers and bankers have to be
knowledgeable about any issues a client can face: mortgages, planning for
college, planning for retirement, transferring assets to children, estate
planning, wills etc. Investment management is a large and important global
industry in its own right responsible for caretaking of trillions of dollars, euro,
pounds and yen.
Overview of Asset Management
 Coming under the remit of financial services many of the world's largest
companies are at least in part investment managers and employ millions
of staff and create billions in revenue. All of the big banks have Asset
Management divisions. Goldman, JPM, HSBC and Bank of America /
Merrill Lynch are particularly well known in this industry
 Money is earned by charging a commission on the investments that are
sold to clients, by charging trading fees and fees for other services such as
estate planning, or by charging a spread on the total yearly return for the
portfolio.
 Client typically tend to be wealthy individuals and institutions
 Asset management relies heavily on other divisions of the bank – the
commercial bank for their credit card services which are offered to clients
and S&T to help place trades for the wealthy clients.

What is private equity?
 Private equity is a broad term that refers to any type of equity
investment in an asset in which the equity is not freely
tradable on a public stock market.
 Categories of private equity investment include leveraged
buyouts, venture capital, growth capital, angel investing,
mezzanine capital and others.
 PE firms will sometimes pool funds together to take very large
public companies private. Many private equity firms conduct
what are known as leveraged buyouts (LBOs), where large
amounts of debt are issued to fund a large purchase. Private
equity firms will then try to improve the financial results and
prospects of the company in the hope of reselling the
company to another firm or cashing out via an IPO.
 Alternative asset class favored by university endowments,
insurance companies, corporate pension plans, public
employee retirement plans and high net worth individuals
