Fees

How to Implement a Fund's Fee Structure

The issuer can specify the fee types and tiers to apply to a fund using a fee template.

A fee template defines tiers based on investment amount.

Fee templates also define the following flat fees:

• Max Frontend

• Backend

Performance fees, however, do not have tiers and are organized under common fees.

Example

The following table outlines the performance fees common for all investing orgs.

Description	Fee	Frequency
IP period	1%	Annually
Post IP period	0.5 basis points	Semi-Annually

The following JSON excerpt illustrates how this fee would be defined in the payload for creating and launching the fund.

         "commonFees": {
          "performanceFees": {
            "hurdleRate": 1,
            "highWatermark": {
              "enabled": true,
              "frequency": "Quarterly"
            },
            "grossOrNet": "Net",
            "fees": [
              {
                "description": "IP period",
                "value": 1,
                "unit": "percentage",
                "frequency": "Annually"
              },
              {
                "description": "Post-IP period",
                "value": 0.5,
                "unit": "basisPoints",
                "frequency": "Semi-Annually"
              }
            ]
          }
        }       

The following table outlines the tiered and flat fees that need to be defined for Issuance A.
