Private Wealth Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In the world of investment management, the term “portfolio” refers either to an array of investments owned by a single entity or to an array of investments administered by a single entity (known as bundled investment or managed funds). Regarding the former definition, a portfolio manager works as a financial professional who handles all of an individual’s investments, evaluating each purchase or sale with the client’s overall goals in mind. By contrast, an investment fund manager handles investments within the bundle on behalf of anyone who buys into the fund as a whole — potentially serving many clients with each transaction but without customization.
