names in private equity, including Apollo Global Management, Carlyle Group, KKR, and CVC Capital Partners, have either launched or announced plans to launch \u201clong-hold\u201d vehicles, with target holding periods of close to 10 \u2013 15 years<sup>1<\/sup>. In their September 2018 first-half results presentation, Partners Group executive chairman Steffen Meister announced that they too would be joining that list<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p><p>Research from Bain &amp; Company\u2019s Global Private Equity Report 2018<sup>3<\/sup> suggests that over a 24 month period, long-hold private equity funds could deliver double the post-tax investment multiple compared to standard funds. The report also listed additional compelling reasons why longer holding periods are attractive to both GPs and LPs, including investors gaining some ownership in the General Partner, instead of becoming another Limited Partner.<\/p><p>These two trends \u2013 longer investment horizons and investor-ownership of the GP \u2013 raise some interesting challenges for the Finance and HR teams at the General Partner. High on that list will be how to motivate investment team members of all ranks over the long(er) haul.<\/p><p>Carried Interest remains the primary mode of compensation for the mid to senior-most partners at Private Equity firms, and depending on the fund structure, could be paid either at:<\/p><ul><li>Fund level \u2013 carry paid on all investments in the fund<\/li><li>Vintage level \u2013 carry paid on any investments made in a particular year<\/li><li>Deal-by-deal level \u2013 carry paid on individual investments as they are realized<\/li><\/ul><p>For the employees that don\u2019t receive carried interest directly, they sometimes participate in a \u201cphantom carry\u201d plan, allowing them to share in the success of the firm.<\/p><p>Either way, more often than not, calculating and communicating carried interest tends to be a process manually managed on spreadsheets by a team of 1 or 2 individuals within the GP finance team.<\/p><p>This outdated and non-scalable approach becomes increasingly prone to errors and risks as the number of funds and size of the team increase. Add to that list the potential for longer durations of unrealized value that needs to be tracked, additions and departures from the team and the associated impact on carry point forfeitures and reallocations, and to top it all, the \u201cinstitutional\u201d investor-owners that will demand stronger reporting on carry at the GP level.<\/p><p>When investment team members don\u2019t have a clear understanding of their compensation \u2013 they will leave.<\/p><p>There is a better way \u2013 one that gives your team members 24\/7 access to their carry points, value and vesting in a secure, private cloud-based environment, while streamlining the process and mitigating the risks for the GP finance and HR teams.<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"mailto: marketing@ewmglobal.com\">Contact
