About this CV template:

A smart CV template for a wide range of roles, with a bold heading and footer (neither of which appear in the actual document header and footer, since this causes issues with ATS software). The document uses headings that can easily be applied to your own sections, and the three pages of sample sections can quickly be whittled down to less if required.

* Every effort has been made to design this CV template according to best practice so that your information can be read by ATS software correctly. However, all Applicant Tracking Systems are different and no guarantees can be offered.

Asset manager job profile

In addition to scrutinising the job specification, it can be useful to consider a typical asset manager job profile when writing your CV. This helps to remind you of the type of experience a recruiter might expect to see on your CV.

The role of asset managers is varied and depends on the sector they work in and their type of employer. They may be managing a portfolio of properties, projects or financial investments. They may be looking after one company’s assets, or they may work for several clients through an investment firm.

Asset managers may do some or all of these tasks:

  • Meet with each client to asset what assets they have, their needs, attitude to risk and goals
  • Develop a portfolio of investments for each client
  • Manage their clients’ assets in accordance with each client’s individual investment goals and preferences
  • Ensure that assets are properly maintained (for example, buildings are repaired and safe)
  • Maximise value and profitability of the assets
  • Continue to meet clients periodically to report on progress
  • Prepare financial statements, forecasts and asset management reports for each client
  • Study the market, understand trends and identify investment opportunities to suit each client
  • Coordinate with various parties such as brokers and property managers
  • Build, foster and maintain a positive relationship with each client
  • Look to reduce costs where possible, to increase profitability for the client

Some asset managers may also supervise junior members of the team, for example in producing draft financial reports.

Asset manager skills and qualifications

In addition to having a degree in a relevant field (accounting, finance, accounting, business, economics etc), several years of experience and excellent skills in finance and maths, recruiters will also be looking for a range of soft skills

  • Attention to detail
  • Analytical skills
  • Communication
  • Critical analysis
  • IT skills
  • Negotiation
  • Organisation I
  • Time management

Recruiters sometimes require CFA, CTP , AAT / ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, ICAEW / ICAS or similar. Alternatively for property-focused roles they may like to see MRICS or surveyor experience.

In every case it is essential to study the job description carefully.

  • Ensure that the ‘professional profile’ section of your CV addresses the main requirements of the job specification.
  • Write a custom covering letter which explains in a little more detail how you meet the main criteria (find out more here).
  • If there are any requirements in the job advert that you don’t meet, explain briefly why you think you’d still be a great fit for the role.
  • Focus on how you will benefit and add value to the target company, rather than simply talking about your current duties. Past achievements are a great way to do this – use action verbs to frame these.
