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.

Fees & Payment Mechanics

Why This Matters: Unclear payment terms can lead to defaults, interest disputes, or liquidity issues. Precise mechanics enhance financial planning and minimize enforcement costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that the payment terms are clearly defined to avoid any ambiguity. Negotiate for shorter payment cycles to improve cash flow and include penalties for late payments to incentivize timely payment.

If you're the Contractor:

Negotiate for flexible payment terms that align with your cash flow needs. Consider proposing a grace period for late payments to maintain a good relationship with the Company.

Essential elements

2

Interest Rates

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if payment terms are ambiguous or inconsistent with industry standards.

EDIT

ADD

PRO TIP

Always ensure that payment terms are compliant with applicable laws and align with your financial strategy.

Example clauses

UNFAVORABLE

Fallbacks

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, consider including more stringent payment terms and higher interest rates to mitigate potential financial exposure.

Long-Term Contracts

For long-term contracts, ensure that payment terms include periodic reviews to adjust for inflation or changes in market conditions.

International Transactions

In international transactions, account for currency fluctuations and include clauses that address exchange rate risks.
