of management fees and carry. When computing NPV and IRR, please make clear which cash flows are
being used to compute NPV and IRR.
Fund Structure B
Fund structure B is a $285.714 million fund with a 3.0% annual management fee based on committed
capital to be paid annually on January 1st. GP carry is computed at 20% of distributions in excess of
committed capital. If the LP requires a hurdle rate of 6% with no catch‐up provision, how does the NPV
split compare to structure A? What happens to the gross and net IRR? Assume the hurdle is computed
on committed capital immediately and compounds annually until the hurdle threshold is broken. Carry
is then paid on every dollar beyond that year’s hurdle threshold, and the hurdle is permanently broken.
Fund Structure C
Fund structure C is a $250 million fund with a 2.0% annual management fee based on committed capital
to be paid annually on January 1st. Management carry is computed at 20% of distributions in excess of
committed capital. If the fund institutes a hurdle rate of 8% with 100% catch‐up provision, how does
the NPV compare to the previous two structures? What happens to the gross and net IRR? Assume the
hurdle is computed on committed capital immediately and compounds annually until the hurdle
threshold is broken. Carry is then paid on every dollar beyond that year’s hurdle threshold, and the
hurdle is permanently broken.
Summary Analysis:
Based on the current inflows and outflows, which fee structure is the best for the GP? Before the fund
starts investing, will this choice always be the optimal choice? Why or why not?
Assignment Format
Please upload a PDF copy of your solution to Canvas; no paper copy or email is required. To facilitate
efficient grading, format your spreadsheet using landscape mode. Use one significant digit and please
use percentages where appropriate. The PDF file should contain four pages. On page one, please
analyze Fund A. Show all cash flows for limited and general partners, including return of capital, return
of hurdle, limited partner profits, general partner catch‐up, and general partner carry. Report present

value and internal rate of return by party. On page two, please analyze Fund B, etc. On page four,
please respond to the “Summary Analysis” questions at the end of the instructions. Good luck!
