The Investment Management Contract serves as the primary legal document establishing and governing the professional relationship between investment managers and their clients in the Philippines. This document is essential when a client delegates investment decision-making authority to a professional manager regulated by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission. It outlines comprehensive terms including investment objectives, risk parameters, fee structures, and reporting requirements while ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations such as the Securities Regulation Code and Anti-Money Laundering Act. The contract is particularly crucial for institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate entities seeking professional management of their investment portfolios within the Philippine financial markets or international markets through Philippine-licensed managers.
