What is Active Management?

Active management is the use of Capital to operate a Portfolio of funds where the managers depend on the analytical research, personal judgement and measures to take the decisions on what buy hold or sell.

Active Management Theory

Some investors do not follow the efficient Market hypothesis they believe in active management. They embrace the view that there are some inefficiencies in the market that allow the market prices to be incorrect. So, it is possible to profit in the stock market by recognising mispriced securities and applying a strategy to take an advantage for the price correction.

This type of investment strategy can involve purchasing securities that are minimised or short-selling securities that are overvalued. Additionally, active management can be used to modify the risk and create less Volatility than the benchmark.

Active Management Process

The active management process usually has three steps:

  • Planning

The planning step involves identifying the investor’s goals and limitations. This process involves risk and returns expectations, liquidity needs, legal and regulatory requirements. From these goals and limitations, an investment policy statement (IPS) can be created. The IPS describes the reporting requirements, rebalancing guidelines, investment communication, manager fees and investment strategy.

  • Execution

Active managers combine their investment strategies with capital market anticipation to choose specific securities for the overall portfolio. The active managers optimize the portfolio by combining assets efficaciously to accomplish the returns and risky goals.

  • Feedback

The feedback includes managing exposure to investments. It is done by rebalancing the portfolio to make sure the portfolio is till within the mandate the IPS. In addition, the portfolio’s performance is periodically assessed by the investors that the investment goals are being met.
