Ziele

Alternative investment funds remunerate their investment managers with a share of realised gain on their private equity investments on the basis of a required performance benchmark. Carried interest (partnership allocation) is considered as a tool to align the interests of both investors and investment managers.

Calculation methods are driven by funds' private agreements and as some clauses or special considerations are unique to each fund, it is essential to understand the pitfalls and issues linked to its measurement.

PwC’s Academy is pleased to offer a training dedicated to understanding the main principles of the carried interest calculation.

By the end of this training, the participants will be able to:

  • understand the different methods/models of carried interest calculation;
  • identify the potential issues and monitor the risks linked to specific clauses in the carried interest specifications.
