FAIR by Colmore

Fee diligence

for private market investments
Your challenge

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.

Our solution

FAIR helps track, validate, and benchmark fees in a simpler, more cost-effective way, so you gain greater confidence in your underlying fund charges.

How we do it

Reporting

We deliver easy to understand reporting on individual funds and your cumulative portfolio. Need a custom output? Don’t worry, we probably already have it covered.

Validation

We review every LPA and Side Letter to understand your unique terms, and model expected vs. actual fees, and we investigate/resolve any variances
