something (1+x) - 0.02(1+x) - 0.2x = 1.15, should give x = 21.79%, assuming management fee and incentive fees are independent.
Salim6 Assume X is the original value.
Gross return = Net return + Fees/X
= 0.15 + 0.02*1,15 + 0.2 * 0.15
= 0.15 + 0.053 = 20.3 %

What's wrong with it pls ?
nsbwong something, tht is exactly what i got as well...
chiodom1 Look at it like this
Gross Return = Net Return + Mgt Fee + Incentive Fee
X = 15 + 2 + .2X
.8X = 17
X= 21.25
