Please see [SEC form 13F FAQs, question 50a](https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/13ffaq.htm) and [SEC 13F General Instructions, section 12.b.viii](https://www.sec.gov/about/forms/form13f.pdf) for more details on the definition of each value.

This portfolio property requires the name of the 'institutional investment manager' under U.S. Section 13F(1)(b), which holds 'investment discretion' over the portfolio.

In case there is more than one investment management entity involved with shared investment discretion, please provide the name of the manager. Ensure to set the exact same value/name across all portfolios that share the same 13F investment manager. FundApps will generate missing data if the InvestmentManager13F property is not defined on a given portfolio. This is because the Major US: 13F rule runs on the Top entity of the ‘Management’ aggregation structure, and FundApps requires this information.

Please see the SEC FAQ Question 6 for details on 'investment discretion.'
