Commercial portfolio managers research market trends and trading activity to develop and implement investment strategies for business clients or commercial loan revenue. You commonly find commercial portfolio managers employed at banks; they monitor and manage a portfolio of business loans and determine how to expand those investments. As a commercial portfolio manager, you analyze financial statements, identify market risks, and make recommendations for future investing. You may also be responsible for loan structuring and pricing and cultivating current and new client relationships. To become a commercial portfolio manager, you need a bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field, and several years of industry experience.
