Report Structure:
- Cover page (client name, period, firm logo)
- Executive summary (1 page)
- Performance summary (1-2 pages)
- Allocation overview with charts (1 page)
- Holdings detail (1-2 pages)
- Market commentary (1 page)
- Activity summary (1 page)
- Planning notes (1 page)
- Disclosures and disclaimers (1 page)
Important Notes
- Performance must be calculated net of fees unless client/compliance requires gross
- Always include appropriate disclaimers and disclosures (past performance, risk factors)
- Reports should be consistent across clients — use a standard template
- Match the level of detail to the client — some want every holding, others want a one-page summary
- Benchmark selection matters — use the benchmark from the IPS, not whatever looks best
- Review for compliance approval before first distribution of a new template
