This Model Mandate provides sample (standard) clauses which may or may not be used by asset owners and their managers. They are drafted with care. However, it should be noted that these clauses are standard clauses and, as such, of a high level nature. These draft sample (standard) clauses and the advice how to use them are not be regarded as legal advice. These clauses must be negotiated and tailored to particular circumstances such as applicable jurisdiction(s), applicable mandatory law and regulations and differences in interpretation which all may vary from time to time and from case to case. The clauses become legally binding once they are incorporated into an investment management agreement (IMA) or similar documentation that is executed by the relevant parties.
