Invst Report

The document discusses the structure and evolution of management and advisory firms, highlighting their focus on personalized client relationships and niche markets. It contrasts two approaches: private management firms that maintain separate accounts for clients and investment companies that pool capital into a single portfolio. The latter approach is more common among investors with substantial capital, while the former offers tailored services to meet individual investment objectives.

Structure and Evolution

Management and Advisory firm- investors make contracts directly with this firm for its services.

- While larger management companies offer a broader range of services and products, the
majority of private management and advisory firms are still much smaller and more
narrowly focused on a particular niche of the market.
- typically develop a personal relationship with their clients, getting to know the specific
investment objectives and constraints of each

Prudent Capital Management (PCM),4 a growth-oriented equity and fixed income manager located in
Southern California. PCM utilizes a “bottom-up” security selection process, with its portfolio managers
looking for companies that have exceptional profitability, market share, return on equity, and earnings
growth

- Range from providing standard banking transactions like (savings account, personal loans) to
advising clients on structuring their own portfolios
- Although banking and financial advice were once the main services these firms offered,
there has recently been a dramatic shift toward the assets under management (AUM)
approach.
- important feature of this structure is that each client of the management firm has a
separate account- they select their firm coz of its field of expertise

2nd Approach

- involves commingling of investment capital from several clients


- An investment company invests a pool of funds belonging to many individuals in a single
portfolio of securities
- In exchange for this capital, the investment company issues to each investor new shares
representing his or her proportional ownership of the mutually held securities portfolio,
which is commonly known as a fund.

Important differences between these two organizational forms:

- Private management and advisory firms typically develop a personal relationship with their
clients, getting to know the specific investment objectives and constraints of each.
- e collection of assets held in the various separate accounts can then be tailored to these
special needs, even if a general blueprint portfolio is used for all clients. Of course, special
attention comes at a cost, and for this reason private management firms are used mainly by
investors with substantial levels of capital, such as pension fund sponsors and high-net-
worth individuals.
