FARcapital provides design, implementation and administration of Fund Alignment Rights (FARs), an innovative incentive fee structure struck between global institutional Asset Owners and the US hedge fund Managers they employ.
Fund Alignment Rights (FARs) allow Asset Owners to secure multi year incentive fees, assuring the inherent outperformance over an annual incentive fee fund, without having to provide tax distributions to the US manager each year.
The US hedge fund Managers that offer a FAR share class will leave their annual incentive fee invested in the fund on a pre tax basis, rather than redeemed at year end and taxed as it is today. That invested fee is aligned with their investors’ capital, and compounds tax deferred until an agreed upon period, or longer if the Manager chooses. FARs accumulate greater wealth for the Manager than had the Manager paid taxes each year.
FARs are a transformative idea, the rare fee solution that provides a Win Win for both Asset Owner and US Manager.
