Investment Management Software/Investment Portfolio Management Software
At its most basic investment management software is a set of programs used to manage the buying and selling of investments within a portfolio. The term, investment portfolio management software, most often refers to technology enabling the portfolio manager to manage his portfolio(s) and the trading of securities to achieve a specific investment objective.

Investment management is the professional asset management of various securities (shares, bonds and other securities) and assets (e.g., property) in order to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations, charities, educational establishments etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective investment schemes e.g. mutual funds or exchange-traded funds).
Investment management can take many forms. It can be done, through the use of computer technology, either by the consumer or a professional and can be passive, active, aggressive or conservative.

The action, investment management can refer to sophisticated trading techniques involving derivatives and alternative investments or merely the rolling over of credit defaults.

 

The provision of investment management services includes elements of financial statement analysis, asset selection, stock-selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments.
