This means an investment banker sells investment vehicles for their clients, while asset managers buy investment vehicles like bonds, stocks, derivatives etc. from investment bankers or through them.

    Investment bankers, on the other hand, can be involved in a number of investment activities. Here are some responsibilities of an investment banker —

    Asset managers primary job is to make their clients more money, while keeping their risk tolerance, short-and long term goals, and their unique financial needs in mind. They do so by investing in various investment vehicles.

    Typically, asset managers do so via the management of so-called pooled assets in investment funds designed to meet specific investment needs like asset accumulation ( stock funds) or capital preservation (bond funds), etc.

    Asset managers also chose to invest client’s money in a spread-out way which includes stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, and complex derivative instruments.

    Job outlook

    As described earlier, both professions have a strong outlook. Salaries for both asset management and investment banking are at part. Investment bankers, however, in some cases, tend to have an upper hand when it comes to compensation.

    Investment banking industry offer both profession handsome compensation. As per U.S Department of Labor, jobs in both areas are expected to grow at 24% until 2024.

    According to Glassdoor, an average investment banker earns $84,091 annually, while an investment banker analyst can earn up to $95,000. The average salary of a traditional investment banker is $83,000.

    Generally, a fresh asset manager hired right out of college can earn up to $55,000. Additionally, they can earn a percentage of the fund they manage.

    According to Glassdoor, the average salary of an asset manager is $85,139. Portfolio managers can earn up to $106,000 annually.
