Hi,
Make your own top (in tiers) of investment management companies.





What really matters in AM?
What really matters in AM? Returns? Assets under management? Compensation? Location of head office? I'm not going to nit-pick through top-tier firms, but I'd say all of these are pretty solid:
Pimco, Wellington, GSAM, BGI/Blackrock, Western Asset Management, JPMAM, Fidelity, Alliance Bernstein, ING Investment Management, Schroeders

You can't rank on presitge in this industry, its about performance. figure out the style you are interested in: equity vs. fi vs. alt then equity = lcg, lcv etc... You'll see its not a simple ranking

I agree with LAWM in that it varies by product and client type. In ternms of large, active, institutional AM firms, I would go with PIMCO, Wellington, GSAM, Blackrock, JPMAM, and AllianceBernsterin from Brotherbear's list.

Under GSAM, I'm being offered:
1. Investment Partners (IP)
2. Global Solutions Partners (GSP) - Portfolio Management
3. Private Equity Group (PEG)
and I'm being told if I start in one, I'll be able to laterally transfer to the other. Not sure if this actually possible??
Which would be most enjoyable since I can do all three?
I wouldn't take the
I wouldn't take the "lateralling" too literally.
They tell kids going into pwm that they can lateal to ibd or s&t
