Investment Management Fees

To manage a client’s funds in a separately managed account, we require two fees:

1. Average, asset-based fee of 2% per year, billed and collected each month, with a minimum of $1,000/month
2. Performance fee of 20% of Total Return above a benchmark hurdle rate of 1% / month.

Here is an example of monthly performance and fees:

Client has a beginning investment of $1,000,000 and has made a contribution of $250,000 on day 15.

• Average Daily Balance (funded) of $1,125,000
• Asset-based monthly fee is $1,875 = $1,125,000 x 0.02 / 12
  
  
  
• Ending Balance (funded) of $1,250,000
• Month End Balance of $1,325,000
• Total Return is $75,000 = $1,325,000 - $1,250,000.
• Total Return Percentage 6.67%
• Benchmark Return is 1% or $11,250
• Performance-based fee is $12,750 = ($75,000 - $11,250) * 0.20

 

• Total monthly fee: $14,625 on $1,250,000 under management with a 6.67% total return percentage (before fees)
