Our preoccupation is managing, not
raising money
The alignment of interest between ourselves and our investors is
central to our business philosophy. In practice this means retaining
a single focus, capping our funds at manageable levels, refusing
segregated mandates and holding a substantial part of our net worth
in our funds.
Our money too
Our performance fee structure is unusual: we must do
better than 12.5% p.a. compound over a three year period and are
entitled to 10% of the surplus above the hurdle rate. Any fee must
then be re-invested for a minimum of three further years.
All our employees hold a portion of their annual remuneration in our
funds, either through a profit share scheme or through deferral of
annual bonuses. Employee capital accounts for approximately 5% of
funds under management. |
