An asset management company (AMC) is a company that invests its clients' pooled
fund into securities that match its declared financial objectives. Asset management
companies provide investors with more diversification and investing options than
they would have by themselves.
Asset management, broadly defined, refers to any system that monitors and
maintains things of value to an entity or group. It may apply to both tangible assets
such as buildings and to intangible assets such as human capital, intellectual
property, and goodwill and financial assets. Asset management is a systematic
process of deploying, operating, maintaining, upgrading, and disposing of assets
cost-effectively.
