A cornerstone of the private equity fund philosophy is that general partners (GPs) compensation should reflect performance, and the interests of GPs and limited partners (LPs) should be aligned via the compensation arrangement.

The paper proposes fees that represent a continuum along the risk and return spectrum such that GPs are paid for performance relative to the returns they deliver.
