Document background
The Asset Management Proposal is a crucial document used when an investment manager seeks to establish a professional relationship with a potential client in the Netherlands. It serves as both a commercial and regulatory document, combining the asset manager's service offering with necessary regulatory disclosures required under Dutch and EU law. The proposal typically follows initial discussions with a prospective client and precedes the formal investment management agreement. It must comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft), MiFID II requirements, and other relevant regulations. The document includes detailed information about the proposed investment strategy, risk management approach, fee structures, reporting commitments, and operational procedures. It forms the basis for the client's decision to engage the asset manager's services and often serves as a reference document for the subsequent formal agreement.
