Set up the fee schedule from the LPA

The fund’s fees are read from the LPA, confirmed by counsel and set up to compute and accrue each quarter.

Start it in a sentence

Ask Operator in chat. It drafts the plan for your fund, and nothing runs until you release it.

  • You

    Set up our management fee schedule from the LPA.

  • You

    The LPA amendment changed the fee; update the schedule.

  • You

    Make the fund accrue its fees every quarter.

The outcome

Every fee period in the LPA is on the fund, confirmed by counsel, and a quarterly accrual books the fee until the investment period ends.

What it proves

  • Reads every fee term from the LPA and side letters, and cites the passage.
  • Writes nothing to the fund until your counsel has confirmed the terms.
  • Creates every fee period in one approval.
  • Sets up an accrual so the fee books itself each quarter.
  • Reminds a person to confirm the step-down when the investment period ends.
