GP Stakes Modelling

Saw the below post on WSO on GP stakes modelling / metrics. Does anyone have any excel templates / resources that can help understand how you analyze an investment opportunity in a PE fund? Personally I don't know how to model alternative asset managers. I understand that there are 3 main revenue streams (management fee earnings, carry interest, and GP investment income).

Thank you! unfortunately I no longer have access to ER reports. Do you have any other alternative options? I can concurrently ask my friends who are still in IB / Equity Research department 

 

Frankly, I don’t think sell side models are going to be much help as every firm is structured differently and you really have to get into the weeds (some 10Ks are 500+ pages). At a high level you need to incorporate the following:

  1. Management fee forecast for existing funds.
  1. Performance fee assumptions for existing funds (carry and balance sheet investment).
  1. Fundraising projections.
  1. Split of performance fees between asset manager and employees.
  1. Expense growth assumptions.
  1. Tax rate.
  1. Balance sheet (some firms have significant assets while others very few).
