      Venture returns and management fees

      Carry, dividends and exits drive upside for venture returns while industry-standard 20% carry and a 2% management fee (typical in 2024) fund operations; strategic co-investments build a proprietary deal pipeline and communications synergies have been shown to enhance IRR by improving exit timing and valuation capture.

      • carry: 20% (typical, 2024)
      • management fee: 2% (typical, 2024)
      • co-investments: pipeline growth
      • synergies: IRR uplift via better exits
