Question

You invested $1,350,000 with a market-neutral hedge fund manager. The fee structure is 2/20, and the fund has a high-water-mark provision. Suppose the first year the fund manager loses 6 percent, and the second year she gains 22 percent. Assume management fees are paid at the beginning of each year and performance fees are taken at the end of each year.

What are the management and performance fees paid each year? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation / Answer

YEAR 1

Management fee = Investment value * mgt fee rate

                                   = 1,350,000 * 0.02

                                   = 27,000

Performance fee shall not be paid in year 1 as fund manager has made losses and so the value of fund has reduced.      

YEAR 2

Value of investment = 1,350,000* (100% - 6%)
