Professional-quality investment consultant
However, investment consulting deal while only about 10% of
the consulting companies. And the people who call themselves investment
advisors, general units.
What do investment advisors?
After analyzing the different definitions, we can say that
the investment consultant - a person professionally advises individuals and
legal entities on investment and asset management practices. Investment Advisor
is responsible for developing investment policy, which then hired its people
and leadership.
So, the responsibility of the specialist primarily includes
analysis of financial assets to determine their investment characteristics and
the issuance of recommendations in the field of investment management,
portfolio management, financial management t. N. And end-users of the results
of professional activity of investment adviser is a potential investor,
operating in the financial markets - natural or legal person.
From the foregoing it follows that the profession is very
closely intertwined with the professions of the financial analyst and
investment analyst. However, these experts may well not be a consultant, but
the consultant - would have to be an analyst. But apart from this, he has a lot
of other responsibilities.
What is the main task of an investment advisor? In the first
place it should be emphasized that the investment consultant is always on the
side of the investor - individual or organization - and guided by its
interests. Taking into account the overall financial situation of the client
and its investment objectives it helps to create a comprehensive investment
program that includes a variety of directions. The solution of these issues
involves considering the possibility of investing money in financial
institutions such as insurance, investment funds, securities, banking products,
retirement savings.
But investment consultants not only create an individual
investment plan and develop an investment strategy, but also help to bring it
all to life. That is, a professional consultant contributes to the effective
implementation of this program.
If an investment adviser employs not a natural person, a
company, his responsibilities may also include the following:
calculate the
economic effect of a particular project;
Comparative analysis
of possible alternatives to the project;
consultation on the current situation in the
financial market and the possible conditions for potential investors, as well
as an indication of the potential investors and lenders who may be interested
in working now;
development of optimal financing
options for the project, with the calculation of the cash flows of the project,
drawing its financing partners, the settlement of borrowings;
develop proposals for
optimizing the financial part of the project in terms of reducing the tax
burden, reducing interest costs and other expenses;
preparation of the
necessary documentation for the presentation of the project to potential
investors and creditors (business plan, investment memorandum, feasibility
study);
participation in
negotiations with potential investors, lenders and business customers;
maintenance of the
investment project the entire period of its realization and implementation of
the current work on financing and optimizing the financial part of the project.
From the foregoing it follows the conclusion that the entity
in connection with the large volume and variety of problems are likely to
appeal to a consulting firm. But a private person, of course, more convenient
and more comfortable to work with an independent consultant.
Personal and professional qualities
In the first place all the necessary financial and
investment analysts. But there are special qualities of just consultants. First
and foremost is the ability to establish personal contact and reach an
understanding with the client. Generally, for the specialist it is very
important ability to precisely and clearly express their thoughts and to speak
simply about the complex. the work of the expert's success depends on how much
he would be able to understand customer needs and gain his sympathy. Hence the
need for adequate depth knowledge of psychology and sociology, as well as an
interest in working with people.
In conclusion, I want to say that although these specialists
in Ukraine, unit demand for their services is increasing every year.
What causes it? Firstly, they can look at the situation as
if "from" objectively. Secondly, they possess a systemic approach and
professional experience. Third, they have a large stock of pre-assembled and
analyzed information. Fourth, they are - who are not interested in that was
adopted by a concrete action plan. And most importantly, people have money, and
people want to dispose of them properly.
