Reporting & Communication with Clients
All clients receive a detailed written report on a quarterly basis. This review included a summary of portfolio assets and sector mix, a detailed list of assets, a performance report and details of all transactions executed in the reporting period. 1832 Asset Management L.P.’s portfolio managers also keep in contact with clients through materials such as the Quarterly Comment and Portfolio Perspectives, both formal and informal client calls and meetings as well as an annual review and personal visits. 1832 Asset Management L.P. does not hold client assets.
