    Frequently Asked Discretionary Account Setup Questions

    Establishing a discretionary account requires clarity around mandate design, institutional selection, and structural positioning. Below are key questions to help you evaluate how a discretionary setup may integrate with your broader wealth and corporate framework.

    What is the main objective of a discretionary account setup for high net worth and corporate clients?

    A discretionary account setup is designed to delegate day to day investment decisions to a professional manager within a clearly defined mandate. For high net worth individuals, families, and corporates, the primary objective is to align professional portfolio management with long term capital, liquidity, and governance requirements. The focus is on control through mandate and oversight, rather than through individual trade approvals. This can support more consistent portfolio implementation and institutional level risk management.

    How does Math Financial Group assist in defining the discretionary investment mandate?

    We begin by assessing your capital structure, investment horizon, risk appetite, and existing exposures. Based on this, we help translate objectives into mandate terms, including asset allocation ranges, eligible instruments, benchmarks, drawdown tolerances, and currency parameters. We also consider any regulatory, board, or family governance requirements that may need to be reflected contractually. The outcome is a mandate that is practical for the manager and aligned with your strategic objectives.

    How do you approach the selection of banks or asset managers for discretionary accounts?

    Manager selection is based on capabilities, platform breadth, and institutional fit rather than branding or marketing. We review the institution’s track record by strategy type, operational infrastructure, reporting standards, and ability to work within your structural and jurisdictional requirements. Where relevant, we also consider balance sheet strength and regulatory environment. Our role is to narrow the field to institutions that can support your mandate with clarity and consistency.

    How are discretionary accounts typically structured for corporate and family office entities in or through the UAE?

    For UAE based structures, discretionary accounts are often opened in the name of holding companies, SPVs, or family office entities rather than directly in personal names. We coordinate with your legal and tax advisors to align account ownership with your existing corporate or family governance framework. This supports clearer segregation of assets, improved reporting, and easier integration with board or investment committee processes. The specific structure depends on your existing entities and cross border considerations.

    What governance and oversight mechanisms should be in place once a discretionary account is established?

    Effective oversight typically includes predefined reporting formats, quarterly or semi annual review meetings, and clear thresholds for discussing mandate deviations or risk events. For family offices and corporates, this may be formalised through an investment committee or board reporting cycle. We help you articulate these expectations during setup so that they are understood by the institution from the outset. This supports disciplined monitoring without disrupting the manager’s ability to execute the strategy.

    Can an existing investment portfolio be transitioned into a discretionary account structure?

    Yes, existing holdings can often be transitioned, but the process requires careful planning. We review current positions alongside the proposed mandate to determine which assets can be retained, which should be phased out, and how to manage tax or liquidity implications where relevant. The transition can be staged over time to minimise disruption while aligning the portfolio with the new discretionary strategy. Our role is to coordinate this process with the chosen institution and your external advisors.
