Fee Structure
Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia manages investments for pooled investment vehicles. These funds pay an annual management fee, which is a percentage of committed capital during the investment period and invested capital thereafter. The management fee is funded by the limited partners and is payable quarterly in advance. The firm and its professionals may also charge portfolio companies various fees, such as transaction fees, sponsor fees, and director's fees. A portion of these fees may be used to reduce the management fee otherwise payable by the limited partners.
