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,

  • 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
