'An '''asset management company''' ('''AMC''') is an [[asset management]] / [[investment management]] [[company]]/[[firm]] that invests the pooled funds of retail investors in [[securities]] in line with the stated investment objectives. For a fee, the company/firm provides more [[Diversification (finance)|diversification]], [[liquidity]], and professional [[management consulting]] service than is normally available to individual investors. The diversification of portfolio is done by investing in such securities which are inversely correlated to each other. Money is collected from investors by way of floating various [[collective investment scheme]]s, e.g. [[mutual fund]] schemes. In general, an AMC is a company that is engaged primarily in the business of investing in, and managing, portfolios of securities. ==Largest companies== The following is a list of the top 10 AMCs in the world (as of 2017), ranked by total [[assets under management]] (AUM):<ref>[http://www.relbanks.com/rankings/largest-asset-managers "The Top Asset Management Firms"]</ref> {| class="sortable wikitable" |- valign="top" ! style="text-align:center"|Rank ! style="text-align:left"|Firm/company ! style="text-align:left"|Country ! style="text-align:right"|AUM (US$bn) |- valign="top" | align="center"|1 | [[BlackRock]] | [[United States]] | align="right"|6,288 |- valign="top" | align="center"|2 | [[The Vanguard Group]] | [[United States]] | align="right" |5,100 |- valign="top" | align="center" |3 | [[Charles Schwab Corporation]] |[[United States]] | align="right" |3,360 |- valign="top" | align="center" |4 | [[UBS]] |[[Switzerland]] | align="right" |3,101 |- valign="top" | align="center" |5 | [[State Street Global Advisors]] | [[United States]] | align="right" |2,800 |- valign="top" | align="center" |6 | [[Fidelity Investments]] |[[United States]] | align="right" |2,488 |- valign="top" | align="center" |7 | [[Allianz]] |[[Germany]] | align="right" |2,268 |- valign="top" | align="center" |8 |[[J.P.
