Institutional Asset Management |

In these turbulent times, when the markets appear to be in decline and losing public confidence, the main challenge for institutions is how to increase and improve performance.
As a result, the institutions are focused on 3 key areas: |
|
| 1. Maximising returns on their assets while heavily controlling and monitoring market and investment risk. This is achieved through various mechanisms, one of which is making sure the risk is in proportion to the desired outcome. The building and aligning of portfolio/fund risk profiles is key to this, as is the implementation and enforcement of a workable risk monitoring framework. This is particularly important for anyone looking at 3rd party investments or instruments with difficult to quantify issuer or market valuation risk. |
|
| 2. Robust and auditable processes to support the diverse range of instruments being traded (such as OTCs). Right now, the trend for trading in more exotic instruments is increasing, as the market looks to build more absolute return. However, this activity increases the risk of losses, so institutions need to balance the risk by setting a well-defined and controlled process, with clear proof of valuation and pricing methods. |
|
3. Controlling costs in the business Through outsourcing or insourcing of operations, cost control is a key measure and contributor to the performance of the fund management organisation. Cost rationalisation strategies are also important. However it is vital to continue to invest in a down turn in order to be well positioned for the next stage of market growth.
