Asset Management
Up close and personal
For the past 170 years, we've been hard at work, developing into a global leader in providing world-class investment and wealth management solutions to institutions, high net worth individuals and retail investors. And we haven't slowed down. Our growth and success have paved the way for an exciting future, one that requires the brightest minds in the business to continue to push forward and discover how we can be even better.
So why do those-in-the-know trust us to protect, manage and grow their wealth? It could be the fact that 40% of the names on the Forbes Billionaires1 list and the Forbes 400 Wealthiest Americans2 list are our clients. Maybe it's because we have global reach but maintain a local touch. It could be the breadth of strategies (210 at last count) that we offer or the depth of our market understanding. We're the #1 global hedge fund manager3 and have offices in over 50 locations across the world. Then again, it could be the sheer leverage that comes from supervising assets in excess of $1.4 trillion.
It's all of the above, of course. But it's also something else. It's the personal touch. It's a concept pioneered by J. Pierpont Morgan back in the nineteenth century. It's called 'relationship banking' and it's about 'doing first-class business... in a first-class way.'
The means of delivery may have changed, but it's a principle that we're still proud to adhere to. We manage money for clients whether they are pension funds or CEOs, and we're charged with the responsibility of making investments that are in their best interests. We're not based on commission, but are team-based and share the same goal: an unparalleled commitment to building strong client relationships and personalized solutions. This is our fiduciary duty, and we take it very seriously.
This means we go beyond the balance sheet, and get to know our clients, making sure we understand the totality of their financial needs, business goals and personal interests. Our teams make up the world's best analysts, associates, client advisors, portfolio managers, bankers, and investors all pulling together to deliver the most innovative, comprehensive solutions to satisfy our clients' needs.
So what could this mean to you? It means that you won't be stuck in a metaphorical backroom somewhere, analyzing figures by yourself. You'll be part of a much wider team. You'll meet clients, and develop your already impressive personal skills as well as a wide range of technical ones. You'll have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients and colleagues, from all over the world.
The professionals who make up our Asset Management teams globally have built quite a reputation for themselves, and perhaps more importantly, for their teams. We invite you to do the same.
Our Asset Management business is subdivided into three business areas: Private Bank, Investment Management and Private Client Services.
The Private Bank advises ultra high net worth individuals and their families from all over the world to help protect, manage and grow their wealth across generations. In January 2007, Euromoney named us as having the 'Best Private Banking Services overall'.
Our Investment Management teams manage a variety of strategies from fixed income and equity to real estate and hedge funds. They provide expert advice to clients who typically include a broad spectrum of institutional and retail investors, including pension funds, governments, foundations, and insurance companies.
Our Private Client Services group provides comprehensive wealth management solutions and responsive day-to-day service for US-based high net worth clients. Our wealth advisory, investment and banking professionals dedicate a significant amount of time getting to know clients' financial and personal goals.
