Investment Advice

We use two core methods to manage your finances and investments: Discretionary Management and Advisory Mandates.

Both options offer regular reports on the value of your investments, and all the expertise of ING's global economic and market research.

Your unique personal and professional situation is your private banker's main consideration. Together, you'll decide what is best for you.

Clients who choose Discretionary Management have a long term point-of-view, and prefer our experts to manage their investment portfolios.

When you choose this option, you first decide with your private banker what sort of investment portfolio you are comfortable with. ING Private Banking has a well-developed range of choices thanks to our long experience in investment management and our professional approach to portfolio construction.

As soon as the details are finalised, ING Private Banking's investment professionals start managing your account for you. Your private banker will meet with the investment teams each month, and you'll have regular updates on the evolution of your portfolio.

Clients who select an Advisory Mandate like making their own confident investment decisions based on their private banker's expert advice and experience.

First you create or modify your investment strategy, together with your private banker. Then our investment specialists go to work. You'll have teams of professionals all over the world studying the markets for you, monitoring your portfolio, and letting you know when we think you should buy, sell or, hold.

Your private banker will contact you with our recommendation by phone or email - or would you prefer an SMS? We're as flexible as you need us to be.

With an advisory mandate, you make the final decision whether or not to buy and sell, meaning you effectively have all the power of a global financial institution, and all the control of a free individual.
