Committed capital fees ‘on the way out’
Charging management fees on capital that limited partners have committed to a fund but has yet to be invested is on the way out.
That was the prediction made by Richard Clarke-Jervoise, head of the private equity team at multi-family office Stonehage Fleming, in an exclusive interview with Private Equity International.
“I would be very surprised if in 10 years’ time much more than 50 percent of the asset class was charging on the basis of committed capital,” Clarke-Jervoise told PEI.
“It’s just such an anomaly within investment management as an industry. There are very good reasons for it, but I just think people will eventually say ‘we’re not prepared to pay for that’.”
