New Silk Route Advisors manages investments for private investment funds offered to qualified investors. The firm identifies and evaluates investment opportunities, negotiates terms, manages investments, and seeks dispositions. Investments are primarily in non-public companies, with senior personnel often serving on portfolio companies' boards. The firm's clients are investment partnerships or other investment entities formed under U.S. or non-U.S. laws and operated as exempt investment pools.
New Silk Route Advisors manages investments for private funds and receives a management fee. The management fee is generally 2% annually of aggregate fund investor capital commitments. After the commitment period expires, the fee is 2% of aggregate funded commitments less the cost basis of realized investments written off to zero and aggregate distributions constituting returns of capital. Limited partners were offered a choice between the management fee or an alternative fee. The management fee is reduced by directors' fees and employment compensation paid by portfolio companies to partners or personnel of the advisors. The firm may also retain supplemental fees, with a portion offsetting the management fee.
