问题如下:
At a meeting for the local municipal pension fund, a group of beneficiaries expressed concern about current investment management fees. The beneficiaries asked the Investment Committee for a fee summary of each manager in the portfolio.
The next day, a pension fund staff member briefed the Committee on the managers’ full contracted fee schedules. The Committee was surprised to hear that the managers work under numerous different fee structures and rates. A sample of these fee schedules for two managers is provided in Exhibit 1:
In explaining the differences, the staff member said that fee structures may lead to misestimates of portfolio risk. She also noted that performance-based fees sometimes are a close equivalent to a manager’s call option on active return.
Identify which manager’s fee structure is most similar to a call option on a share of active return. Justify your selection.

这道题里,两家公司都说了有base fee,跟讲义里的例题一样。所以我默认base fee 指的就是无论涨跌,manager都会拿到的费用。是因为Carpenter Management 专门有小星号标明了是minimun fee 吗?可讲义里的例题也没有标明呀。如果Hidden Lake在active return < 3%的时候拿不到base fee,这个base fee还有什么意义?难道是只有在active return > 0 的时候才会给的吗?
如果可以,请像讲义例题里一样帮我列一下Hidden Lake 和 Caroenter Management 的fee 计算方式。谢谢
