The asset management sales support function provides investment proposals and performance reports for corporate pension clients and supports pension sales representatives. Responsibilities include proposing investment solutions and products suited to client needs, preparing client investment reports, promoting work related to corporate pension asset management, supporting pension sales, and consulting on policy asset allocation and portfolio construction based on investment objectives and market conditions.
