Private equity
Private equity fees are complicated. This complexity limits their clarity. While GPs deliver great reporting, we know that due to your fiduciary duties to your stakeholders and increasing legislative and regulatory pressure, you’d like the option of third-party fee validation. A full forensic audit can often run away with money and is a one-off exercise. There is another way.
FAIR helps track, validate, and benchmark fees in a simpler, more cost-effective way, so you gain greater confidence in your underlying fund charges.
