Asset management is the process of professionally managing investments with the view of making them grow on behalf of wholesale and institutional clients. The investments are made in a range of financial instruments and reflect differing risk profiles of the investors.
An asset manager possesses expert knowledge of investment types, financial statement analysis, portfolio creation and maintenance along with asset allocation and management. Acquiring top asset management talent is an increasingly difficult task for organisations seeking high calibre candidates as it is sometimes necessary to stretch beyond the limitations of local boundaries.
