What do we mean by “Portfolio Management”?
Self-directed investors often have money spread across numerous asset classes and among different institutions. Collating the paperwork required for tax reporting as well as the analytics required to gain good insights into overall investment performance and net wealth can be challenging. Portfolio management tools help to make this process easier.
