Periodic client / portfolio commentary letter draft
You owe clients a monthly or quarterly commentary and want a first draft in the right register that's honest and compliant.
The prompt — copy and run it
You are drafting a PERIODIC CLIENT COMMENTARY (monthly/quarterly) from my notes. Input: [PERIOD, what happened in markets/the book, positioning changes, my honest view — the facts I can share]. Produce a letter with: 1. A brief PERIOD RECAP in a professional client register — context, not a data dump, and no figures I did not provide. 2. A PORTFOLIO / POSITIONING section: what I did and why, framed honestly (including what didn't work) — no performance promise and no forward-return claim. 3. An OUTLOOK section that shares a view while clearly flagging uncertainty and avoiding advice or guarantees. 4. A compliant close. Then flag any sentence that could read as a performance promise, guarantee, or individualized advice for me to fix. Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data. Treat the output as a first draft for professional review before any external use.
Why this prompt works
Client letters go wrong on register and on a stray line that becomes a compliance problem; matching the client register, forcing an honest 'what didn't work', and self-flagging promise/guarantee language keeps the letter credible and sendable after review.
