    Private Markets Fees Primer WHITEPAPER OCTOBER 2019 This primer describes the most common fee and profit sharing arrangements CONTRIBUTORS associated with private market investments. It attempts to answer common Blaze Cass Andrew Gilboard questions when considering an investment across the range of private market John Haggerty, CFA asset classes, including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and natural resources. Most private market vehicles have the following fee and profit sharing components: I. Management fees II. Carried interest: → Preferred return → Catch-up provision → Carried interest rate The above terms will be explored throughout this primer, including definitions, common structures, and their expected impact on net returns to the Limited Partner (“Investor”). Finally, this primer will examine industry trends by investment strategy, as well as how the structuring of fees and profit sharing arrangements impacts the alignment between Investors and the General Partner (“Manager”). While there are a variety of fee and profit sharing structures found across the private markets universe, for the purposes of this primer we focus on one of the most common, the so-called “2/8/20” model that prevails for closed-end vehicles (“Funds”) executing a private equity buyout strategy. Note that, in the Appendix, common variations from this structure—seen with other strategies—are outlined. What is a management fee? A management fee is a fee paid in regular intervals (typically quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) to the Manager in order to compensate them for managing the Fund. The management fee is generally used by the Manager to cover the overhead costs associated with executing the Fund’s strategy, such as, but not limited to, salaries and benefits, office rent, and day-to-day administrative costs incurred by the Manager.

  • 18032 Investcorp MD&A P7-76 Tp
    INVESTCORP MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (FY09), Investcorp has witnessed what has been, arguably,the worst period of sustained stress to world economies and financial markets in living memory.The environment has had a severe impact on Investcorp across both its client and its investment businesses, and it has been the most challenging year for Investcorp since its formation in 1982. The management team has focused on dealing with these challenges head on. It has maintained an active and open dialog with clients throughout the year and has protected the balance sheet by raising capital, reducing investment risk and mitigating re-financing risk by holding high levels of cash liquidity while de-leveraging the balance sheet at the same time. The successful completion of a preference share issue in excess of $500 million, more than double the stated minimum target, in such a difficult environment is clear evidence of confidence in Investcorp’s business model and management team. Although the length and depth of the global recession is still uncertain, management believes that the firm action taken during the fiscal year will enable Investcorp to move forward and focus on the attractive business opportunities that now present themselves. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The sub-prime housing crisis that started in the United States in 2007 developed in late calendar year 2008 into a major systemic financial crisis, sending economic activity in the developed world into a synchronized downward spiral.This has led the IMF to make continual downward revisions to its estimate for global growth in calendar years 2009 and 2010.

Cinven Sixth Fund, L.P. – OPERF Private Equity Michael Langdon 1 Senior Investment Officer Public Comment Invited Katy Durant Rukaiyah Adams Rex Kim John Russell Ted Wheeler Steve Rodeman Chair Vice Chair Member Member State Treasurer PERS Director Cinven Fund VI, L.P. Purpose Subject to satisfactory negotiation of terms and conditions with Staff working in concert with legal counsel, Staff recommends approval of a $250 million commitment to Cinven Fund VI, L.P. (the “Fund” or “Fund VI”) for the OPERF Private Equity Portfolio. This proposed commitment represents the planned continuation of an existing general partner relationship. Background The Fund is being formed and sponsored by Cinven Limited (“Cinven” or the “Firm”), and will continue the successful sector-focused, large European buyout strategy employed in the Firm’s first five funds. Cinven was founded in 1995 when the investment management division of British Coal went independent via a management buyout. With the various British Coal pension funds as anchor investors, Cinven launched its first institutional fund in 1996, raising €1.6 billion. Over time, Cinven has raised successively larger funds, and grown from the original eleven investment professionals operating from a single office in London to 65 investment professionals operating from offices in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, and with support offices in New York and Hong Kong.
