[@williammyers1015]

Please could you go through the different roles of Asset Management and the 5 main Asset Classes👍 I am applying for an Investment Manager placement year at IBs and pure AM and would appreciate any further insight you may have considering you have been at Goldman. Thank you Afzal

[@AfzalHussein]

Cheers, will do! :)

[@spakkinmiamitunez5090]

Good

[@umayrahmed4120]

@Shoaib Sheikh me too am trying to get into but had no idea where to go so found this but still got no idea

[@lukehaswell3075]

Asset management got me where I am today. Indeed it takes patience to get rewards and with the right institute it is highly remunerative.

[@wilsonaaron3930]

I agree with you luke, indeed patience is always required. We never stop learning when it comes to the market.

[@andyosman8375]

I would like to be part of a similar service like this luke. What is your take so far?

[@lukehaswell3075]

I’m doing quite well investing with Afx_solution on telegram.

[@jadecarson5081]

Wisely interpreted. I would take any chance to get the best out of it.

[@mariapady7564]

Luke It has more excitement than any other business that I have been involved in..

[@peterzhang3031]

Hi Afzal, thank you for doing this video! I am beginning a marketing role at an AM firm soon and am doing my due diligence in finding out ore about this service and the core products, so I appreciate you breaking it down for me in this explanation to a guy like me who has no clue on banking and finance in general!

[@alejandroochoa8476]

Great video Afzal! Everything was spot on. Recently got a distribution role for UBS AM right out of college and the pay is certainly great and good hours too.

[@randomgamer9553]

Thank you so much! Waiting for this video for ages! 😃 I would love to watch video about different roles in Asset management and five main asset classes! 😊

[@ephraimsebopela6587]

Thank you Afzal, very insightful video with a great explaining demeanor, I knew nothing about Asset Management field of work before but listening through your video i have been able to gain a great overview of what Asset Management is about.

[@matthewkelly3303]

Would love to see a video on the different roles within am in more detail and perhaps what you would study to get into each of them

[@789glob]

Thank you for this very clear explanation. I was searching everywhere for an in depth explanation, this was perfect. Thanks so much

[@TheLtMayhem]

A video covering the different asset classes would be great. As always this was a great and informative video!

[@EthanRaynolds]

Very good explanation. I alao think one needs to understand the basic and have a primary knowledge of the plan he or she want to engage in , in order to secure a good future on must make appropriate plans today and dedicate time to it ,nice stuff

[@user-px5ex3pf3l]

With the high cost of living today I don't think the value of crypto will ever fall and investment will always play a significant role, In order to secure a good future and a better living ahead one must understand the importance of it and how valuable these can be tomorrow, therefore it is very important one take up investments seriously and with the aim of making profit. Where one finds challenges, research, reading of journal, professional advice can be useful too.

[@OliviaSmith-ve9nv]

Crypto has become a valuable part of the human existence. And in today's world, investment has added so much to the standard of living of the populace. So having a proper preliminary knowledge of these plans is very important. Having a professional tutoring is by far the best option, speaking personally. It gives a proper understanding of these plans.

[@WilliamsJones-jx1ce]

Choosing to go into crypto investment was a staggering decision for me. This was because I didn't have any knowledge of it, and finding the proper tutoring was a problem. This situation changed when I crossed part with Jason Herman Pierce. Gaining basic knowledge on investment could not be any easier. Today I am comfortably placed in the world of investment, all thanks to him.

[@JacobWalker-jx3nf]

But crypto investment is not the only kind of investment there is, and besides this video focuses on asset management. And the truth is, one's asset, when mismanaged could be detrimental to one's financial enhancement. Even as a crypto investor.

[@WilliamsJones-jx1ce]

Well.... I was speaking from a personal view. Crypto investment was an interest to me, so that was my focus. But undisputedly asset management is paramount too.

[@user-rq4rt3ti8l]

Wow - really comprehensive. Literally 100x better and more in depth than any university career center.

[@phume5957]

Thank you - I am in corporate finance but interested in the investment industry - your videos are thorough and helpful. Thank you :)

[@matthewkelly3303]

A video of the best way to get into each role in AM ?? Particularly the investment role e.g what you would study

[@gabrielebizzi9800]

Hi Afzal! You have talked about hours worked inside an investment bank and about work life balance in your videos. As you said, I am also a person that values time more than money. However, I also like a lot working with clients (as in asset management). Hence, is there any chance to secure a job for example in asset management with "normal" working hours (example: 9am to 6 pm)? if yes, what could be the possible alternatives? (example: different companies, roles, etc..). I am aware that a possible alternative would mean lower wages than an asset management job in an investment bank going from 8am to 8pm, but at least it would be possible to have a life outside the job context. Thank you!!

[@sandragtjiteere3737]

Thanks Mr. Hussein, may you please explain asset management in TVET situation.

[@Mike251197]

Add everything to the list. 🙏🏻

[@darshan753]

Hey nice content✔ But would you please start making content on books to read for asset management,investment banking,wealth management,private equity,etc So it can help to those who wish to start their career Thankyou

[@habibbialikafe339]

can you go over the 5 asset investment types? I usually classify the three as fixed income, equities and private equity. Multi-asset is self-explanatory, it is just a combination, and i would think a quant would just invest with different strategies (i.e. more technological focused approach). Also, Alternative investment i am not as familiar on, but thought it might be more into private equity

[@uptothemic]

Great video! Keep posting such quality content!

[@AfzalHussein]

Cheers! Will try!
