Effective asset managers use all of the following to establish effective communication between themselves and owners, except:

Effective asset managers prioritize communication methods that foster direct, professional, and controlled interactions with owners. Email, video conferencing, and phone calls are all methods that allow for secure and confidential discussions about asset management strategies, performance, and other sensitive topics. These channels also promote clarity and allow for immediate feedback.

In contrast, public social media lacks the necessary privacy and professionalism that is essential in asset management communications. It is not suitable for conveying sensitive information or detailed discussions about an owner’s assets. Social media interactions are often public and can lead to miscommunication or misunderstandings due to the informal nature of the platform. Therefore, it does not serve as an effective tool for establishing the serious and trust-based relationship that asset managers need to maintain with their clients.
