Private equity sounds like a mechanism that extracts the most amount of value from a business, and transfers that wealth to the few general partners.

[@Cinthia-gk3ip]

There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist

[@SirBenjamin-oq1wd]

I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started investing. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders

[@MablePauls]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.

[@SirBenjamin-oq1wd]

Just research the name Angela Lynn Shilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@MablePauls]

I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.

This is great work! Would be good to get videos on pass through and parallel entities and why they are structured.

[@udaykumar-jv3it]

Yeah even I want to lear about that. Please make a video.

[@zarakareem4716]

hey I do taxes for Private equity partnerships, structuring is usually done with tax issues in mind. Parallel entities in particular are set up for tax issues, so usually one will be a foreign corp and one will be a domestic partnership. The foreign corp will hold all the tax exempt and foreign investors to block ECI and UBTI, inorder to reduce any tax filing requirements for the LPs. The domestic partnership will hold all the US partners that are nto tax exept and dont need to be blocked.

[@taifly360]

Excellent overview of the concept. I wonder does this apply only to the US markets or if you're investing in a fund abroad, say in Bangkok, under different jurisdictions, will we see changes to this process generally? BTW, I think you misspelled your name in the "About" section. :)

Specifically what do you want me to cover in vintage structure?

[@faable94]

@@bridger_pennington I was thinking about the explanation of vintage idea in the fund in general, how such funds work. I deal with vintage funds, however it is not really clear to me why vintage years exists, why fund cannot have ore closes and call all commitments quicker instead of having vintage years. Why is this structure good, why is so important that vintages need to be called in an order 1,2,3...

How is the liability of the LPs determined? Is that written in the limited Partner Agreement also? So if the LP who puts in 4%, is his liability (if they get sued) limited to 4% of whatever they are sued for? Thanks.

[@PotatoMan1491]

Like and subed, Bridger, I got 2 questions - What's the relationship between IRA and GP ? Are you the GP of your fund? - If you are only charging performance fees, how do you fund the expense of legal/accountant fees up front?

[@aprilmeng74]

There’s management fee for operations

[@InvestorMattU]

I think you meant RIA in your question, So since it hasn't been answered yet, I will take a stab: 1) The RIA is an investment advisory expert, and is many times, but not always, a division of the GP sponsor. So as an example, a private equity fund "ABC Partners" will have a subsidiary called "ABC Asset Management" that is registered with the SEC, and requires licensure for its representatives. This asset management subsidiary evaluates the investment opportunity set (deal flow) and does the screening and to due diligence to recommend candidates to enter the limited partnership. There is an investment committee for the GP (which may include, But it's not required to include, members of the asset management arm as well as the GPs). If the GP has significant knowledge of a space where they can source and due diligence the deals themselves, they don't necessarily need an RIA if they are offering to very specific types of clients (read: Qualified Purchasers), however, it is common practice to have an RIA participate (often they will pay them a subadvisory fee and allow participation alongside the GP), especially as more strategies include opportunistic sleeves that require niche domain expertise I can be difficult to build in-house. Also, in addition to domain expertise, they also are approached with far more deal flow and have many more opportunities to evaluate for inclusion. Small fund managers often don't get a seat at the table for many lucrative deals unless they have an established player sitting at the table on their behalf (the RIA). This is especially true in GP-led transactions which are becoming a larger part of market deal flow. 2) Usually, a GP will seed a strategy with its own money and handle some initial expenses. They can also implement credit lines to help pay for these in the near term. Legal, accounting, and other operational expenses are higher in the beginning of a fund's life, as there are fewer LPs to spread the cost across. They are covered under either management fees or other accrued expenses. Often, they are subject to a cap on expenses for LPs, but they are still paid and a meaningful contributor to the depth of the J-Curve. Your performance fees should be based on net performance, so an 8% pref with total legal/admin/ops/management cost of 1.1% would need a 9.1% gross IRR to start collecting GP catch-up and/or carry. These are round numbers, and the calculation can be a bit different depending on if you are doing deal-by-deal or fund-as-a-whole performance calculation.

[@PotatoMan1491]

@@InvestorMattU Thanks for the excellent insights Matthew

[@Ehanna76]

Truly thank you for diving into this Bridger, that's whatsup!

[@cwginallen]

Bridger, great video. In your example with VicSec & Geico, is there an LPA per company that defines the LPs %? for example, if LP#1 wants to invest into VicSec but not Geico, do they have that option?

[@Derbb]

Are you counting in acquisition fees, in real estate construction fees, and disposition fees? By the way, definitely worth it to get that series 65.

[@rightright6582]

Why?

[@internationalassetliquidit5000]

Well done Penn...!

[@tomjens2046]

So if you create such a fund, you would want to get that 2% management fee to yourself. And you are saying that instead of getting that 2% yourself as a manager, you hire some RIA and he gets all those 2%? That is interesting because most people though that it goes to the fund creator/manager, not some hired advisor

[@cdefiore]

cool video. thanks!

[@levilewis1]

Can the RIA and the GP be the same person or SPE? Most videos say the management fee goes to the GP for the running of the fund.

[@bridger_pennington]

So yes, you can be an owner of both the RIA and GP. People will say the mgmt fee goes to the GP because they assume they're the same entity when in reality they're usually separated.

[@kumar2ji]

Excellent

[@eugenioordonez5480]

Does a PE fund has only one or multiple GP? How can they ensure that value will be created to the purchased company?

[@bridger_pennington]

Yes, so my Dad's funds have around 11 GPs and 107 limited partnerships. They then all roll up to one master entity and board. They'll incentives different leaders by giving them equity in different GP's under the same umbrella

[@umeshkmr645]

[@johnmcpherson5137]

According to other videos on the topic, this is how (99%? of) PE funds are usually structured in the USA. The European model via closed-end fund structures, is rather different. 🤔I believe some are even advocating that US-based firms should adopt the European model.

[@felipetorra4159]

what are the functions of the GP and RIA

is RIA part of GP? And you said the GP are paid using the Performance Fee. But Perf fee is variable right? As far as i know in the projects that i have worked, GP is given fixed 2% to manage the fund. Am i missing some thing?

[@bridger_pennington]

The RIA is a separate entity from the GP and collects the management fees, they're typically owned by the same people
