### **How to model step-downs in fees?**

Let’s say your fund’s fee structure is:

* 2.0% for first 5 years
* 1.5% thereafter

To model this structure, you will create **2 different fee tiers** as follows. To add a fee tier, click on **Add Fee Tier** at the bottom of the Management Fees section.

### **How to model different fees for different LP’s?**

You can create multiple fee profiles for each LP and in a later Limited Partners section, point LP’s to their specific fee. To create multiple fee profiles,&#x20;

* Click on **“+”** icon next to **Default Fee Profile** to create a new fee definition
* Enter a name for this fee profile for e.g. Class B LP Fees and click on **Add Fee Tier**. This will create a new fee profile from scratch.
* Later in the wizard, in the Limited Partners section, you can point your Class B LP’s to this fee profile.

### **How to model management fee recycling?**

Management fee recycling means the fund can recycle exit proceeds up to the level of management fees earned to date. To turn this on, fore each fee tier, open the **Optional: Management Fee Recycling** section and enter the % of fees that can be recycled from that tier.

## **Fund Expenses**

Similar to management fees, fund expenses can be defined on a line-item basis.

* Click on **Add Expense**
* Enter the **Expense Category**
* Enter the expected **Monthly Amount**
* Enter the **Start Month** and **End Month** i.e. the term of the expected expense
