Description

In an asset management agreement, a client gives a service provider the responsibility of managing their assets in a pre-defined way, as specified in the contract. A difference is made between a special asset management agreement and a standard asset management agreement. The client lays out their investment policies in a special asset management agreement. In a general asset management agreement, the asset manager is authorized to make investment decisions without having to consult with the client every time. Maryland Private Client General Asset Management Agreement (PANAMA) is a legally binding document entered into between an individual and an asset management firm in Maryland. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for managing the client's assets in accordance with their specific investment objectives and risk tolerance. The PANAMA covers a wide range of financial assets, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and other investment vehicles. It sets forth the rights and responsibilities of both the client and the asset manager, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of the client's portfolio. This agreement typically includes the following key components: 1. Parties involved: Clearly identifies the client and the asset management firm, specifying their roles, responsibilities, and contact information. 2. Investment objectives: Establishes the client's investment goals, whether it is capital appreciation, income generation, or wealth preservation, and outlines the investment strategy to be employed by the asset manager to achieve those goals. 3. Risk tolerance: Defines the client's risk tolerance level, considering factors such as age, financial situation, and investment experience. The asset manager will ensure that the portfolio is aligned with the client's risk appetite. 4. Asset allocation: Outlines the desired asset allocation strategy, specifying the desired proportion of different asset classes in the client's portfolio. This may be subject to periodic review and adjustments based on market conditions and the client's changing needs. 5. Investment restrictions: Sets forth any investment restrictions imposed by the client, such as avoiding certain industries or adhering to specific ethical guidelines. 6. Reporting and communication: Specifies the frequency and format of portfolio reports, ensuring regular updates on the performance, valuation, and composition of the client's assets. It also outlines the means of communication between the client and the asset management firm. 7. Compensation: Provides details on the fee structure and payment terms for the asset management services rendered. This may include a management fee based on a percentage of assets under management and/or a performance-based fee tied to the portfolio's performance.
