Pictet Asset Management

Pictet Asset Management is the institutional asset-management business of the Pictet Group, whose roots date to Geneva in 1805. Pictet began its institutional asset-management activities in 1967 and has since developed a global platform serving financial institutions and their clients.

The firm manages equity, fixed-income, alternative and multi-asset strategies for institutional investors, including pension funds, insurers and banks. Its strongest areas are thematic investing, emerging markets, alternatives and multi-asset portfolios, with a deliberate focus on active strategies rather than trying to cover every investment category.

Pictet AM is particularly associated with long-term thematic equity investing. Its Water strategy was launched in 2000, while the firm also has established capabilities in sustainability-oriented investing, emerging markets and multi-asset allocation. For students, the platform offers exposure to investment, distribution, research and client-facing roles across an international asset manager.
