The Investment Advisory Agreement is a crucial document used to establish and regulate the professional relationship between investment advisors and their clients in Denmark.

This agreement is essential when an investment advisor or financial institution begins providing investment advice to clients, whether they are retail, professional, or institutional investors. The document covers comprehensive aspects of the advisory relationship, including service scope, regulatory obligations, risk disclosures, fee structures, and client protections, while incorporating specific Danish legal requirements and EU regulations such as GDPR.
