NO bonus? To say that seems odd is putting it lightly... any reason given? Other benefits? The $500k carry DAW sounds nice but fwiw that's basically funny money if this is a brand new fund and this is a fresh ASO offer, that'll take years to become meaningful and years more before it's something you can consider "yours".
