Understanding the role of a client support executive

In a hedge fund/investment management firm, what does a client support executive do?

I have a description here but I don't understand what it does.

"The client support executive is responsible for dealing with valuation, performance and other client statement enquiries in such a way as to provide a market-leading level of client service to xyz's external clients and consultants. Provide support in the drafting of client meeting materials such as presentations and client background forms."

I would be grateful if anyone could shed light on this role.

That's really helpful to know thanks.

What's a client background form ? And client statement enquiry?

Would you say that this role would be a great introduction into the hedge fund industry, would it provide a good overview of the whole business?
