[14]
also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by clicking the
[19]
bell ican today we have a topic with us called the general partners in the
[24]
private equity see there are different sort of partners there are dormant
[27]
partners would not actually involve themselves in the day-to-day activity of
[30]
the business there are some general partners or the whole time partners who
[34]
manages the business completely on a daily basis like you know on an
[39]
operating basis so there are different sort of partners but over here we are
[42]
discussing only the general partner as you can see over here there are this
[46]
couple of things that is written written here in the dialogue box
[48]
the general partner is responsible for the overall management and the
[53]
administrative administration of the operation of the partnership and the
[56]
general partner is managed by Jay goth well we'll try and understand this in a
[61]
detail format first and the foremost thing who are the general partners see a
[71]
private equity fund that is created needs to be managed so a general partner
[75]
that is a GP refers to a private equity firm who has the responsibility of
[81]
managing a private fund so the private equity firm acts as a GP and external
[90]
investors are like the LPS okay so the investors who have invested the fund
[97]
would be known as the limited partners and the PE firm would be known as the
[109]
general partners right so it the hierarchy goes down something like this
[117]
LP then there is a GP below that there is a general partner and they manage
[124]
let's say fund 1 over here fund 2 here there are three other like CCC
[132]
three other funds they have and same over here CCC so this
[138]
is our the whole hierarchy goes now what is the role of the general partners well
[145]
the general partners have the responsibility of taking all the
[149]
decisions okay related to the management of the
[152]
private equity fund so they are other specific functions that the general
[156]
partner carries out you know for instance the general partner must manage
[160]
the private equity funds portfolio okay so that portfolio which consists of all
[166]
fund invested by the LPS so in simple terms the general partners is
[170]
responsible for administration management and operations of the private
[176]
equity fund so a be firm functions and operate under the guidance of the
[180]
general partners who sources the capital from various investors and the managers
[186]
the fund by investing this capital and hence first in order of the
[192]
responsibility is the goal of the or goal to raise you can say funds followed
[202]
by the administering the day-to-day operations of the private Kotori fund
[205]
so this day to day operations includes identifying like the investment
[212]
opportunities see maximizing the value of the investment and liquid in the investment
[223]
so in a manner so that the distribution can be made to LPS the main objective of
[229]
GPS is to manage the private equity fund the benefit of the LPS that have
[235]
invested in it and act in interest of the LPS so given the LPS they commit
[241]
their fund we expect a positive return on that investment so the GP is
[249]
entrusted with the responsibility to manage the funds to meet the objectives
[254]
so additionally unlike LPS the GPS have a sort of what we call as the legal
[258]
liability okay legal liability is there and the GPS are the hepatic actions
[267]
carried out or by the fund for that such legal liabilities now on the
[272]
compensation part
[277]
the compensation of the GP is designed in such a manner that it aligns with the
[281]
financial objective okay of the LPS so the GP are either paid through
[289]
management fees or compensation now the General Partner they earn the
[297]
annual management what we call as fee for compensation and the general partner
[303]
they own annual management fee up to let's say 2% which is used for the
[309]
purpose of carrying out the admin duties they cover the expenses to be made like
[312]
overhead in salaries so the GP can earn a proportion of the private equity fund
[317]
profits and the fees termed as the carried interest so the investment made
[322]
by the fund on the profit and gp's receives a share of the profit in the
[329]
form of the carried interest the carried interest is usually between 5 to
[333]
30% so to get a better understanding let's have a look at one
[340]
of the example to get a more clear idea let's say that a particular fund and the
[345]
asset that were invested in earns a return of let's say a $100 billion
[349]
dollars the management fee that has received by the GP would be would then
[355]
amount to let's say 2 billion and similarly if the return of the
[358]
investment is let's say 50 billion the carried interest would be 20% closely to
[365]
that of 50 billion in return of the investment so that's it for this
[372]
particular topic this are the rules this is who is General Partner his role the
[377]
compensation part and the last and the last thing you know that involves are
[382]
the examples that we evaluated so that's it for this particular topic if you have
