Nope. 2% of $100M is $2M, not $20M.

> A $1B fund which does 1.5x earns the GPs $300M ($100M in carry, plus $200M in management fees)

Nope.




Management Fee are paid annually, and typically for 10 years if not more.

It's 2M x 10 years (for each year of the funds life).

Ditto for 20M (x 10 years)


Good point!
