Institutional investment consultant Wilsot Consultants (Wilsot) is reviewing multiple investment managers within a prospective client’s portfolio. Two of the managers, Vaudreuil Capital Management (Vaudreuil) and Pourtir Investments (Pourtir), have similar strategies that show comparable performance on a net-of-fees basis. Assessing the portfolio effects of management fees, a Wilsot analyst reviews both manager contracts to determine their advantages and disadvantages to the client. Checking client fee structures, the analyst notes Vaudreuil’s fees are AUM-based while Pourtir’s are performance-based.
Discuss one advantage and one disadvantage to the client of each manager’s contracted fee structure.
选项:
解释:
Vaudreuil’s fees are AUM-based :
1.advantage: the fee structure can not charge a larger fee when the investment has a significant gain.
2.disadvantage: the manager may have no incentive to get alpha and just maintain the AUM.
Pourtir’s are performance-based:
1.advantage: the manager may have incentive to get alpha to improve the performance to get higher fee, and the interest of manager can link to the interest of investors.
2.disadvantage: the fee structure may reduce the net return of investors , and manager may share the profit but not take the risk.
