What are the management and performance fees paid each year?
Year 1 :
Performance Fees : There is not performance fees since the fund manager has negative returns.
Managment Fees : (Total Asset Value *
Management Fee ) = $1,250,000 * 0.02 =
$25,000
Year 2 :
a) Since Management fees are charged at the beginning of the year and year 1 had loss of 5 %
Total Asset Value = ($1,250,000 - $25,000) * 0.95 = $1,163,750
Management Fees = (Total Asset Value * Management Fee ) = $1,163,750 * 0.02 = $23,275
b) The performance fee is 20% of everything over the $1,250,000 high water mark.
Total Asset Value = ($1,163,750 - $23,275) * 1.13 = $1,288,736.75
Performance Fees = (Profits earned above high
water mark * 0.20)
= ($1,288,736.75 - $1,250,000) * 0.20
= $7,747.35
Year 3
Management Fees = (Total Asset Value * Management Fee ) = ( $1,288,736.75 - $7,747.35) * 0.02 = $25,619.79
Performance Fees
Asset Value at end of year 3 = ( $1,288,736.75 - $7,747.35 - $25,619.79) * 1.07 = $1,343,245.48
Performance Fees =(Profits earned above high
water mark * 0.20)
= ($1,343,245.48 - $1,288,736.75) * 0.20 =
$10,901.75
