A fund management agreement is a real estate agreement that sets forth rights and responsibilties of all parties to the agreement. Most of the time, the parties of a fund management agreement include a property owner and a property management company.
A fund management agreement is similar to a simple investment management agreement, which deals with finances instead of real estate. Both agreements deal with overseeing and handling of specific financials. The agreements ensure that property management companies have the legal right to save and spend money on behalf of a property owner.
Below is a list of common sections included in Fund Management Agreements. These sections are linked to the below sample agreement for you to explore.

To the extent consistent with these standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and subject to any other applicable laws and regulations including Section 17(e) of the 1940 Act, the Fund Manager is further authorized to place orders on behalf of the Funds through the Fund Manager if the Fund Manager is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC or as a FCM with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), to any of its affiliates that are brokers or dealers or FCMs or such other entities which provide similar services in foreign countries, or to such brokers and dealers that also provide research or statistical research and material, or other services to the Funds or the Fund Manager. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Fund Manager shall determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon request, the Fund Manager will report on said allocation to the Adviser and Board of Trustees of Pacific Funds, indicating the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which such allocations have been made.

(f) Fund Manager will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for each Fund, together with Investment Adviser, arrange for the transmission to the custodian, and the recordkeeping agent for Pacific Funds on a daily basis, such confirmation(s), trade tickets, and other documents and information, including, but not limited to Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that identify securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of each Fund, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and recordkeeping agent to perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to Pacific Funds, and, with respect to each Fund's securities to be purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the automatic transmission of the confirmation of such trades to Pacific Funds' custodian, recordkeeping agent, and, if required, to the Investment Adviser.
