Tactical Asset Allocation Override Request Form

Streamline Tactical Asset Allocation Decisions with Paperform

In dynamic market environments, investment professionals need to act quickly on tactical opportunities while maintaining proper governance and documentation. This Tactical Asset Allocation Override Request Form provides wealth managers, portfolio managers, and investment committees with a structured process for requesting and approving temporary deviations from strategic asset allocation targets.

Built specifically for financial advisors, RIAs, family offices, and asset management firms, this template captures all the essential information needed to evaluate tactical allocation decisions: comprehensive market outlook justification, specific deviation parameters, risk assessment, expected duration, and review schedules. The form ensures every override request includes proper documentation for compliance purposes while streamlining the approval workflow.

Why Paperform is ideal for investment management workflows:

Paperform's conditional logic automatically adapts the form based on asset class selection and deviation magnitude, ensuring reviewers see only relevant information. Built-in calculations can automatically compute deviation percentages and validate that requests stay within firm-wide risk parameters. Submissions integrate seamlessly with your existing tech stack—push override requests directly to your portfolio management system, notify investment committee members via Slack or email, and maintain an audit trail in your CRM or Airtable.

For firms managing multiple strategies or client segments, Stepper can automate the entire approval workflow: route small deviations to the CIO for quick approval, escalate larger requests to the full investment committee, trigger calendar invites for review meetings, and automatically schedule follow-up assessments based on the stated duration. This transforms a traditionally paper-heavy process into a streamlined digital workflow that maintains proper oversight without creating bottlenecks.

Whether you're managing institutional portfolios, high-net-worth clients, or pension funds, this template provides the professional structure and documentation capabilities investment teams need to make tactical decisions with confidence and compliance.
