Investment Advisory Agreement
An Investment Advisory Agreement outlines the relationship between an advisor and client, specifying fiduciary duties and compensation. This playbook emphasizes regulatory compliance, performance reporting, and termination triggers.
Events of Default & Remedies
Negotiation strategy
Ensure that default triggers are clearly defined and limited to material breaches. Advocate for reasonable cure periods and proportional remedies to protect your interests without causing unnecessary disruption.
Negotiate to narrow default events to significant breaches only. Seek to include cure periods that allow for resolution of issues and avoid severe penalties for minor infractions.
Essential elements
1
Default Triggers
Conditions constituting a default.
2
Cure Periods
Time allowed to rectify defaults.
3
Remedies
Actions taken upon default.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits when default triggers are too broad or cure periods are undefined.
EDIT
Reject clauses that allow for immediate termination without opportunity to cure.
ADD
Add language specifying step-in rights for significant breaches.
PRO TIP
Always align default clauses with industry standards and business risk tolerance.

Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, consider stricter default triggers and shorter cure periods to mitigate potential losses.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, ensure default clauses allow for renegotiation and adjustment over time to reflect changing circumstances.
Cross-Border Transactions
In cross-border transactions, account for jurisdictional differences in default definitions and enforcement actions.
