Question

Present Value of Hedge Fund fees - Exercise 2 (Homework) You are a hege fund manager and you would like to know the present value of your fees. The hedge fund is a HF 2/20. There is no hurdle rate. The fund starts at the beginning of 2015 with a NAV of $250,000,000 and it is expected that the return is 20% in each year (also use this value as a discount rate for the present value). After three years, you would like to liquidate the fund and retire. . Calculate the present value of the hedge fund and of the hedge fund fees.

Explanation / Answer

HF 2/20 fee structure means 2 % fees on the Net Asset Value as management fees and performance based compensation of 20% of the profit generated.

Since there is no hurdle rate, 20% performance based compensation needs to be paid on the entire profit generated.

Calculation of fees for each year is given below:

Present Value (PV) of Cash Flow:

(Cash Flow)/((1+i)^N)

i=Discount Rate=20%=0.2

N=Year of Cash Flow
