External asset management (EAM) is a financial service model in which individuals or institutions delegate the management of their investment portfolios to external professionals. These professionals, or external asset managers, operate independently from traditional financial institutions, providing personalized and specialized investment strategies based on the client’s unique needs.

EAM is widely used by high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors looking for tailored financial advice and diversified investment options. By leveraging the expertise of external asset managers, clients can gain access to bespoke financial strategies and broader market insights, while maintaining a high level of flexibility and objectivity.
