Document background
The Asset Management Proposal serves as a fundamental document in the Australian investment management industry, used when asset managers seek to establish new investment management relationships or expand existing ones with institutional or sophisticated investors. It provides a detailed framework for the proposed investment management services, including investment strategy, risk management approach, performance objectives, and fee structures. The document must comply with Australian regulatory requirements, particularly the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and ASIC guidelines, and typically forms the basis for subsequent investment management agreements. It's particularly relevant in contexts where sophisticated investment services are being proposed to institutional clients, superannuation funds, or high-net-worth individuals, and serves as both a commercial proposal and a regulatory compliance document.
