| 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 |
| 3788wuz | Salim6: fee is calculated based on gross return |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
