Programmatic JV - Advisory/Placement Fees

If a capital markets team at JLL/Eastdil/etc. arranges a programmatic JV for a sponsor how do the fees work?

Generally, equity placement fees are capitalized and paid upon the closing of an equity commitment on a single asset transaction.

What have you guys seen for programmatic JVs? What if we never do a deal with the capital partner that is sourced for us? 

Perhaps a success fee + 2.50 bps per deal level capitalization moving forward? Trying to understand what is standard practice here.

For entity level deals, I’ve seen 3.0% of committed capital, paid as its drawn down.

For programmatic JVs, it’s 3.0% for initial portfolio and 0.5-1.0% for subsequent deals. But people hate this and will negotiate it down as much as possible so I highly doubt you will get anything close to 2.5% on subsequent deals. We’ve done one where it’s like 0.5% for any deal consummated within two years of closing of the initial portfolio so there’s a time limit to it too

If the programmatic JV has a defined size, meaning the LP commits to funding a certain dollar amount to the GP for future deals, then you could get a flat fee as equity is drawn down, same as the entity level deal structure.
