This is precisely what I was looking for mate. Such a thorough, credible and resourceful video. Thankyou!

[georgemathewuk]

This is really good Afzal - I've been 20 yrs in Banking, including 8 yrs in Investment Banking, and looking to potentially move into Asset Mgt - so was an excellent run through of the differences.
Thanks so much.

[JA-jobl]

big up afzal. your video quality has improved over the years. God bless you brother, you're smashing it

[goa]

Great video, I remember when you first started with a few thousand followers and now you are over 100k subs.
It's great you have kept up with your very high-quality and insightful videos, and made your channel the best on youtube in your area of expertise.
I would say in a few years you would have half a million subs and will be the key man to provide the newer generation with all the information.
Well done bro. I can see you have talent in this space and will do very well adding a lot of value to society. Keep it up.

Hi Afzal i work for investment banking and did not know what actually it is, after i started watching ur vedios the way you explain is clearly understandable and i personally learned a lot.thank u so much

[sarahko]

Im an accounting student at a university and I love your videos❤️

[balarajuc]

Great delivery style, anybody can understand, very difficult to understand this by reading articles but this video made it so simple

[kexunye]

Many thanks to you, well-explained and super clear!

I did not understand the difference between Asset Management and Private equity. In PE also, the company invests client's money on private companies(basically creates a portfolio) and when the private companies generate income, the PE firm takes some cut and returns it to the client. Asset management also sounds similar.

[Lemzino]

Great video with great topics, always delivering 👏🏽

[UNKNOWN-]

The videos keep on getting better and better. 🙏🙏

[tube.brasil]

Asset Management also involves RETAIL products. Blackrock's iShares, for example. It's a very different business.

[leonardodosreis]

Make a video about to in Equity Research. (I don’t write English very much, I’m a Brazilian student) thank you so much!

[margaretapersson]

Supergood presentation! Since the S&P has moved upwards at about 8% annually on average I wonder what expectations an institutional investor has towards the Asset Manager? When the markets are weak like 2000-2010, what type of conversations would there be between investor and Asset Manager? I read that the Norwegian Oil Fund (1, 4 Tn) created in 1990 has an average return of only about 6% in spite of having 70% in the global stock market-- seems to me that they could do much better?.

[luxushauseragency]

Fantastic video, expert insight. Please expand more on the subject of fees by sharing one or two typical examples of management and performance fees.

[elisabeth]

Hi could you make financial advisor vs asset management?

[jabirrahman]

Kudos to you Afzal, great work. Since I will start out with Sales and Trading, just wanted to ask if you think how Asset Management, Consulting, and Private Credit perform as S&T exits?

[johnyossarian]

Great video, mate, but I do have a few questions. Hope you don't mind answering them.

So, what are the key differences between asset managers and hedge funds or private equity funds or VC funds? Since they all take other people's money, invest it, and get a cut in return?

Does the difference lie in the type of investments made?

Do asset managers invest in hedge, private equity, and VC funds?

Why don't these big institutional investors just create their own in-house asset managers? They obviously have the capital to hire professional investors and support personnel? What are the advantages for them to outsource their investment process?

[khaliltams]

What about IB vs Consulting? They seem similar

[TheRealMinuteMarket]

So if I want to be in a hedge fund I should go to portfolio management
