What is asset management?

Asset management is the day-to-day running of a wealth portfolio. It is usually headed by an investment manager.
The management of assets involves building a portfolio of investments. This includes assessing risks, finding opportunities, and developing an overarching strategy for reaching a set of financial objectives.

What do asset management companies do?
Asset management firms manage funds for individuals and companies. They make well-timed investment decisions on behalf of their clients to grow their finances and portfolio. Working with a group of several investors, asset management firms are able to diversify their clients' portfolios.
An asset manager’s main role is investing wealth. To maximise your potential returns, they monitor and assess the market to look for threats and opportunities and adjust your portfolio accordingly.
Utilising these areas of expertise, an asset management company will manage your portfolio daily to minimise your risks and seize new opportunities.
