Asset Management Company (AMC)

Asset Management Company (AMC)
A company set up for floating and managing schemes of a MUTUAL FUND. An AMC earns fees by acting as the PORTFOLIO manager of a fund. The AMC is appointed by the Board of Trustees, which oversees its activities. Thus, a mutual fund is generally established as a trust by a SPONSOR, which could be a registered company, bank or FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. Also, a custodian and a registrar are appointed to ensure safe keeping of the fund's securities and to deal with investors' applications, correspondence, etc.
