What is Investment Management?
Investment management is the handling of financial assets, and is not restricted just to buying and selling them. This means a knowledgeable investment manager will help clients create a short or long-term strategy that will facilitate the acquisition or disposal of portfolio holdings over time, thereby allowing them to reach their personal investment goals.
Some financial services that can be included in investment management are:
- Banking
- Budgeting
- Tax services
- Asset allocation
- Financial statement analysis
- Stock selection
- Monitoring existing investment
- Portfolio strategy and implementation
To put it simply, an investment management program supports clients who either have a current investment portfolio they would like overseen, or are interested in buying or selling new investments—or potentially both. A financial planner will work with the client to keep whatever investments they already hold stable while also coordinating a future portfolio strategy.
This type of management allows clients to align their investment portfolios with other life goals and assets, like matching retirement, estate planning, and asset distribution.
