The Asset Manager Role

Asset managers are finance professionals or organisations that manage and oversee the investment portfolios of clients (usually referred to as institutional investors), including corporations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other large groups. Their job entails investing in various financial assets and liquidising them as needed, monitoring the performance of assets, and providing recommendations to optimise the growth and preservation of their clients' assets.

Given that their primary role is to make investment decisions on behalf of their clients, asset managers need to be skilled in creating and implementing investment strategies that are fit to the specific objectives and risk tolerance of their clients. They also need to stay up to date with market conditions, earnings reports, economic indicators, and other factors to make informed investment decisions. Likewise, it is crucial that they know how to diversify portfolios to spread risks, and maintain regular communication with their clients, providing updates on portfolio performance and discussing investment strategy adjustments when needed.


Competition for Asset Management Roles

Few careers command the level of respect and appeal that asset management does. Aspiring asset managers are drawn to this field for its promise of competitive salary, variety of potential career paths, and the opportunity to support individuals and companies in making impactful decisions about their assets. Yet the path to becoming an asset manager is no easy feat. The competition is fierce, with the most prestigious companies in the industry receiving thousands of applications for a few coveted positions. In some cases, acceptance rates can be as low as 2%. Given such high demand and limited supply, there is no doubt that securing an asset manager role is a true challenge.
