14. Overview of Asset Management
Asset management is the professional management of various securities (shares, bonds etc.) and assets (e.g., real estate), to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations etc.) or private investors
Investment managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary (client gives the bank control over what to do and how to invest) management on behalf of (normally wealthy) private investors may often refer to their services as wealth management or portfolio management often within the context of so-called "private banking".
The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of financial analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments. Also, brokers and bankers have to be knowledgeable about any issues a client can face: mortgages, planning for college, planning for retirement, transferring assets to children, estate planning, wills etc. Investment management is a large and important global industry in its own right responsible for caretaking of trillions of dollars, euro, pounds and yen.

15. Overview of Asset Management
Coming under the remit of financial services many of the world's largest companies are at least in part investment managers and employ millions of staff and create billions in revenue. All of the big banks have Asset Management divisions. Goldman, JPM, HSBC and Bank of America / Merrill Lynch are particularly well known in this industry
Money is earned by charging a commission on the investments that are sold to clients, by charging trading fees and fees for other services such as estate planning, or by charging a spread on the total yearly return for the portfolio.
Client typically tend to be wealthy individuals and institutions
Asset management relies heavily on other divisions of the bank – the commercial bank for their credit card services which are offered to clients and S&T to help place trades for the wealthy clients.

16. JPMorgan Asset Management
How is Asset Management Set Up? Example in Review: JPMorgan Asset Management
JPMorgan Asset Management
Private Banking
For private clients with $25million+ in liquid assets
Issues mainly evolve around protecting wealth and transferring assets to heirs, as well as implementing the best possible tax strategies.
Private Wealth Management

Lower-level issues: this group may still have to worry about paying for college, planning for retirement or growing their portfolio.
Investment Management
For institutional clients. Includes more quantitative groups and specialized groups in areas such as real estate, mutual funds, pension funds etc.
**Different banks use the above titles differently. For example, all clients at Credit Suisse are part of their “Private Bank”, regardless of the amount of money they have.
**Liquid Assets does NOT include your house, car, business etc. ONLY cash or investments

22. What is private equity?
Private equity is a broad term that refers to any type of equity investment in an asset in which the equity is not freely tradable on a public stock market.
Categories of private equity investment include leveraged buyouts, venture capital, growth capital, angel investing, mezzanine capital and others.
PE firms will sometimes pool funds together to take very large public companies private. Many private equity firms conduct what are known as leveraged buyouts (LBOs), where large amounts of debt are issued to fund a large purchase. Private equity firms will then try to improve the financial results and prospects of the company in the hope of reselling the company to another firm or cashing out via an IPO.
Alternative asset class favored by university endowments, insurance companies, corporate pension plans, public employee retirement plans and high net worth individuals
