Investment Management Agreement Template

How to Write an Investment Management Agreement?

To begin creating your own Investment Management Agreement sample you will want to include the following sections:

1. An opening statement acknowledging this document is an Investment Management Agreement between the client and the investment manager or organization, and the date the agreement will be signed. The date this agreement is signed will also be known as its effective date.
2. The name of the people or organization the account will be registered under. If the account will be owned by more than one client, the investment manager is allowed to follow instructions from one of the owners without notifying the other owner(s) of updated changes.
3. An agreement by the investment manager to keep the investment information confidential and only disclose the information to those the client has approved of.
4. The investment manager will also be granted the authority to manage the account on behalf of the client according to the client's financial goals and objectives.
5. The investment manager will also be free to manage other accounts not owned by the client and the client recognizes the partnership is not exclusive.
6. All fees for the cost of managing the account will be listed in full as well as taxes that may be applied to the account. Often fees will be calculated on a quarterly basis.
7. A standard of care will be defined for the investment manager that ensures they will act in good faith on behalf of the client and that the client understands the risks with owning an investment account.
8. To keep the client abreast of the performance of the account, the investment manager will provide ongoing portfolio statements to the client with any transactions or updates to the account.
9. Acknowledgments sections that detail all of the investment manager's policies in regards to the investment account and the client's understanding of each of these policies.
10. Final date and signature sections with the titles of each party.
