French term or phrase: mandat de gestion
I don't like the suggestions in the glossary. This is the text in which it appears:

Par convention intitulée XXX, le requérant a confié au dénommé YY un mandat de gestion sur une somme de 3.000.000 EUR en vue de faire des investissements fructueux.

I was thinking of power of administration, because this is similar to a power of attorney for investment purposes... Mandate just does not go here.

power of attorney of the estate


Explanation:
Hello,

Is this what you mean?


"Le mandat de gestion est l'acte par lequel le propriétaire d'un bien (le mandant) donne à une autre personne (le mandataire, qui peut être un agent immobilier, un administrateur de biens, .) le pouvoir d'accomplir en son nom plusieurs actes juridiques comme la vente, la location ou la gestion d'un bien."

I hope this helps.

mandate to manage


Explanation:
'Mandate' in this sense is a Roman-law concept, used throughout continental Europe and in Scotland (if not England and Wales). When you rule out the senses of 'mandat' that are translated by (arrest) warrant, (money) order, summons, etc., you're left with power of attorney and Dalloz' helpful 'contract of agency'. Or, of course, the cognate.

When even tarp.net is using the word here in the USA, the case for 'mandate' is strong:

"Bank of New York Mellon Wins TARP Asset Management Mandate

Bank of New York Mellon emerged as one of the credit crunch’s benefactors when it was named the master custodian firm overseeing the Treasury Department’s bailout fund (the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP) on Oct.14 2008.

As master custodian bank it will manage the toxic assets that the government will buy with taxpayer’s dollars, and also run auctions when they are sold for cents on those taxpayer dollars.

BONYM’s official title is “prime contractor of the purchase program.”

agree  rkillings: In this case, it's an investment management mandate -- so go straight to 'investment mandate'.
