Which of the following most likely represents the compensation to a sponsor of a private equity fund?
| A) | A management fee of 10% and an incentive fee of 10%. |
|
| B) | A management fee of 20% and an incentive fee of 2%. |
|
C) | A management fee of 2% and an incentive fee of 20%. |
|
| D) | A management fee of 2% and an incentive fee of 2%. |
|
Answer and Explanation
As a manager, the sponsor gets a management fee and incentive fee. The management fee is usually around 1.5%-2.5%, and is based upon the committed cash and not just the cash already invested. The percent may decline over time based upon the assumption that the sponsors work declines over time. The incentive fee is the share of the profits, usually around 20 percent, that is paid to the manager after the fund has returned the outside investors capital.
