Quote from govttrader:
i talked with my investor, and he made some very logical points about incentives that i had not thought about. we decided on a flat 20%.
perhaps in a year if i perform well, i'll start a capital raising and work thru this issue with new investors...but for a 1st investor, i can't argue with a flat 20% performance / incentive fee.
We've been capital raising for a while.. We run a hybrid hedge with additional signal services.
For SMA's
we offer 20% perf 3% management fees on anything less than X dollars
then a 17% perf 3% management fee on anything over that x dollar amount
With lock in and significant deposit 250k or more we offer 15% perf 2% management fee inside the fund.
I found this does a couple of things... keep non-accredited investors out of the fund and as customer of signal replication
It also offers incentives for larger accounts
And lastly it offers incentives to lock in big money into the hedge side.
Also we settle yearly
