Dissecting the Fund Manager Compensation Stack

from Syndication Attorney Field Notes with Tilden Moschetti Hosted by Tilden Moschetti

Structuring fund manager compensation in a Regulation D syndication goes beyond adopting a standard "2 and 20" template. In this field note, syndication attorney Tilden Moschetti breaks down the fund manager compensation stack into three distinct layers: management fees, carried interest, and expense reimbursements. Discover why blending these distinct financial functions into a single "sponsor fee" can create disclosure confusion and strain investor trust. Learn how to accurately define operational runway, performance upside, and fronted costs in your Private Placement Memorandum and Operating Agreement, ensuring clarity and alignment with your investors from day one.
