Asset Management
What is Asset Management?
Asset Management involves the professional oversight and allocation of investment portfolios across various asset classes, including equities, fixed income, real estate, and alternative investments. Asset managers work with institutional investors, pension funds, high-net-worth individuals, and corporations to maximize returns while managing risk. The goal is to generate long-term value through strategic investment decisions, market research, and risk management techniques.
