Quote from let it run:
Mr Double,
What if, for argument's sake, I gave you $10,000 which is capital protected i.e. worst comes to the worst, you owe me $10,000 and all I want out of you is 15% return p.a. on my capital and then you can keep 90% of the rest of whatever you make, even if you turn a profit of 100000%?
Therefore, at end of year 1 you owe me $11.5k (protected/guaranteed) + 10% of your outperformance, if I leave my money in then at the end of year 2 you owe me $13,225 + 10% of your ouperformance etc.
Free money to leverage up on and make a packet. If you draw up the legal documents, I'm game. If you can pull it off for 5 years, I will buy you a round the world plane trip to show you my gratification.
