Answers for Boards

Can we require a specific manager in the contract?

You can ask, and some companies will agree to name the assigned manager in the agreement with a notice requirement before reassignment.

What you generally cannot get is a guarantee — people leave. What you can reasonably get is the manager named in the proposal, that person's current portfolio load stated, advance notice of any change, and the right to request a different assignment if service degrades.

Bait-and-switch on the assigned manager is a frequent complaint. Naming the person in writing is the simplest protection against it.
