Negotiating Carry in a Fund
As the title say, I'm in the fortunate position where some carry in a large multi-billion dollar fund is on the table. I've never really been in this position, and I am curious what some key terms are you all would think about. If it is a math response, assume the fund is a $3bn value-add fund targeting a 14% leverer IRR. Obviously, I'm tapping the network as well, but there are some smart folks on here so figured I'd ask.
You can check one of my earlier posts, but a good rule of them is if a fund can achieve a 14-18% IRR to its investors, assuming an 80/20 split above an 8% pref, the GP carry tends to be about 12-15% of the original equity raise. Of course, YMMV depending on fund performance and waterfall structure, but if you do the math you'll see that the range I gave lines up.
Is this 12-15% per annum? Or for the life of a ~5 year fund?
Things to consider:
It's funny you asked this question because I came here to post pretty much the exact same question
My situation is only slightly different. We don't have a fund. We raise equity on a deal by deal basis. Our deal size is rather small ($30M). % of total promoted interest and vesting schedule are, what I believe to be, the main negotiating points. I am wondering if I am missing anything else?
