An asset manager manages his clients' wealth and generally gives them advice on all money matters. Another characteristic of independent asset management is that it is a totally autonomous activity whereby the asset manager can make his own decisions according to his knowledge and beliefs, which excludes any third-party influence. Consequently, the independent manager is not restricted in his choice of investment products. Moreover, he often spends more time with his clients, giving them more exhaustive advice with wider scope. The independent asset manager has a mandate and acts in the name of the client. The client's invested securities are kept in an account with a custodian bank. Credit Suisse Credit Suisse is a world leader in financial services.
