In an advisory mandate the portfolio manager gives investment advice and recommendations, and the client chooses whether to act. It is the lightest of the three models, but it still falls under the portfolio manager framework and its disclosure obligations.
What this usually involves
- Scope of advice and how it is delivered
- Disclosures on fees and conflicts
- Difference from separate investment adviser registration
How we help
We confirm which regulatory route fits the advice you plan to give and document it.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up Advisory mandates?
The timeline depends on the product, how ready your documents and information are, and the regulator’s review. We give a realistic estimate in the proposal and update it as the work progresses.
Do you guarantee regulatory approval?
No adviser can. Approval rests with the regulator. What we do is prepare your structure, documents and filings to the standard the process demands and manage the process closely.
Can we engage you for only one stage of the work?
Both are possible. Most clients engage us across structuring, documentation, regulatory execution and launch readiness, but you can engage us for a specific stage.
Do you support us after launch?
Yes. Our Launch Readiness workstream and post-incorporation support help you onboard investors and meet your ongoing obligations.
