Advisory Mandate

An Advisory Mandate is a form of mandate in which the wealth manager makes investment recommendations to the client, while the final decision to buy or sell remains with the client. The manager provides analysis and assessment; the client retains full decision-making authority over the portfolio.

At a glance

  • The client makes every investment decision independently and retains full control over the portfolio.
  • The wealth manager is obliged to make recommendations based on the agreed Risk Profile and Investment Guidelines.
  • An Advisory Mandate requires greater client initiative than a Discretionary Asset Management Mandate.
