Asset Management Company - Closed End Fund Model (Excel XLSX)

Financial Model presenting a scenario of a Closed-End Fund managed by an Asset Management Company.

Closed-End Funds have a fixed maturity and a fixed amount of money to invest. Since Closed-End Funds have a fixed length, investors can invest in the beginning and receive their profits at the end of the fund.

In closed-end funds there is an interaction between the investors and the AMC. Investors will be paid, and a gain or loss will be generated at the end of the fund (typically 10 years with a maximum extension of 3 years.).

The Asset Management Company (AMC) receives two different kinds of remunerations during the life time of the Investment: Management Fees and Carried Interest.

Management fees correspond to the amount of money an AMC receives every year from closed-end funds. The management fees is a fixed percentage of money calculated on the value of the closed-end fund in the beginning of the fund itself.

The second source of remuneration for the AMC is made up of the carried interest and it is computed only at the end of the closed-end fund's life cycle. The carried interest is the spread between the final IRR and a hurdle (a.k.a. threshold) IRR multiplied by a fixed percentage. Usually, the fixed percentage ranges between 25-30%; the hurdle rate ranges between 7-8%. This means that, at the end of the fund, the AMC will receive a carried interest only if the final IRR is larger than 7-8%.

This Financial model analyzes a Closed-End Fund and includes assumptions of Fund Life, Total Fund Size, Investment Period, Capital Drawdown, Dividends and Exit Multiple, Debt, Fund Expenses & Fees, Investors Share (LPs and GPs), Hurdle Rate, Carried Interest and Catchup. It calculates Fund Cash Flows including analysis of Portfolio Investments and Returns per Investment, Investors (LPs) and Managers (GPs) Cash Flows and Returns ad a Fund Summary presenting Fund's key metrics and returns.
