Fee Structure
Cambridge Associates offers portfolio management services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. The fee depends on the type of client, the asset classes under advisement, the complexity of the portfolio, and other factors. Fees may be higher or lower depending on asset level breakpoints, and fees or a portion of fees may be contingent on meeting performance hurdles. Fees range from 0.02% to 0.60% of the value of the investment assets (or on commitments to private investments) and are generally subject to a minimum annual fee. Fees for co-investment advisory services are negotiable. Fees for discretionary mandates specifically focused on secondaries and/or co-investments may include carried interest and a management fee.
