    3 possibilities:

    1. They answered from the perspective of an investor- most likely choice

    2. They are dumb and either can't do basic math or have a gross misunderstanding of the reality of the business in terms of performance.

    3. They considered the capital raising effect as it relates to the fee structure. I didn't think the question is that involved, however, I really don't think there is any benefit from a capital raising perspective for 0/25 vs. 2/20.

    From the CTAs perspective of strictly maximizing fees within a saleable structure, there is no contest between 2/20 vs. 0/25. That said, 5/0 is the best structure for maximizing fees if one has no regard to capital raising.

    1. 5%/0% --- only 5% management fee, no incentive fee.

    I like 5/95 better. My clients are happy with it.


    5% management fee and 95 % performance fee?

    Are you sure?

  9. 5 / 0....What´s the incentive for the manager to "perform" if you have "safe" 5 % p.a. ? In effect it´s "risk free" money for the management, isn´t it ?

    Well, if the manager does not perform, the investors will eventually withdraw their investment and close accounts...... I think manager still have to perform ...... What do you think?
