Foundation Energy Management provides investment management services to its affiliated private pooled investment funds, focusing on direct and indirect investments in oil and natural gas properties. The firm also offers general and administrative services to affiliated companies. Foundation's investment advice aligns with the objectives and strategies outlined in the Funds' governing documents. The firm treats the Funds, not the investors, as its clients.
Foundation Energy Management manages investments for its affiliated private pooled investment funds. In exchange for these services, the firm receives management fees and is entitled to carried interest distributions from the Funds.
The annual management fee is 0.5% (2% per year) of the aggregate commitments of investors during the investment period. After the investment period, the management fee is reduced annually as described in the governing documents of each Fund. The firm or its affiliates are also entitled to carried interest distributions equal to a percentage (ranging from 19% to 27.5%) of distributable cash of each Fund after investors receive a return of capital and a preferred rate of return.
