The Sub Advisor Agreement is essential when an investment advisor seeks to delegate portfolio management responsibilities to another professional investment manager. This document, subject to U.S. securities laws and regulations, specifically outlines the scope of delegated authority, investment guidelines, compliance requirements, and fee arrangements. The agreement ensures clear delineation of responsibilities while maintaining regulatory compliance with SEC requirements and protecting end-client interests. Sub Advisor Agreements are particularly crucial for firms seeking specialized expertise or additional management capacity while maintaining oversight of client assets.
