More management fee step-downs
%2520(1).jpeg)
Management fee step-down provisions are showing up more in Limited Partnership Agreements (LPAs), the contractual agreements between fund managers and investors, according to data from Aumni-tracked venture deals.
Generally speaking, mean and median initial management fees in LPAs have hovered around 2.4% over the last five years, with mild increases since 2021. While management fees have remained more or less constant, the prevalence of management fee step-down provisions increased to 88.5% in 2023. The effect of higher management fee step-downs could potentially be a reduction in cash flow for funds from fees.
A management fee step-down can be accomplished by reducing the fee percentage, the fee base, or both.
