Investeringsförvaltning

Investeringsförvaltning, or investment management, is the professional management of assets on behalf of clients. This typically involves managing investment portfolios for individuals, institutions, or other entities. The primary goal of investment management is to grow and preserve the client's capital by making informed investment decisions.

Investment managers, also known as portfolio managers or asset managers, are responsible for developing investment strategies that align with the client's financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. This often includes asset allocation, which is the process of dividing an investment portfolio among different asset categories, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. They conduct thorough research and analysis of various investment opportunities.

The services offered within investment management can vary. Some firms focus on discretionary management, where the manager has the authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the client. Others offer non-discretionary management, where the manager provides advice and recommendations, but the client makes the final decisions. Investment management firms also cater to different client segments, from high-net-worth individuals to institutional investors like pension funds and endowments. The fees charged for these services are typically based on a percentage of the assets under management.
