Fee Structure
Stonebridge Partners manages private equity funds and receives performance-based fees (carried interest) once certain performance targets are achieved. Stonebridge Partners also receives ongoing quarterly monitoring fees directly from portfolio companies, either on a fixed or variable fee basis. Variable fees are charged as a percentage of the portfolio companies' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), typically 5%, subject to a stated fee floor and ceiling. Stonebridge Partners expects to receive a one-time fee, ranging from 1% to 2%, upon the acquisition closing of any investment, generally a percentage of the investment purchase price.
