2% Management fee, annualized and payable monthly

Are there a lot of variations to the standard deal and the way they are calculated?

I remember when I was shortly a CTA, The NFA was all over my Disclosure Doc's in regards to the calculation of the incentive fee and what was standard...

Do Hedgefunds have this stringent regulation?

interesting.

In KevinK's example if you had a system that experieced an extended drawdown the calculation he illustated could be advantagous regarding the management fee.

As far as the standard 2/20 deal the incentive fee is where the money is made, thats rather obvious, regardless of the which illustrations in this thread.

I don't agree.

The management fee is the key; the reason for deleveraging ...
 
I can agree with that personally, but I was waiting for some to say that if you don't have a good system and can't work for straight commish...then your not worth your salt...

For my trading a standard deal would suffice...

Look at Crabel last year; great example ...

Wasn't he that guy with a 5% management fee?

I don't have it in front of me but I seem to remember he has a high AMF, very low leverage and he didn't make the risk free return last year.

I will check on Tuesday in case I am incorrect ...
 
Great..

By the way, I have always enjoyed your infrequent posts here in ET...(infrequent posting is one thing I have not mastered :))
