First thing you need to realize is that there's no "market"- it very much depends on your experience, track record, and LP interest. That said, here's baseline: Acquisition fee: 1-2% Management Fee: 1-5% Annual EBITA of portfolio business Reimbursement of acquisition expenses post-close: dd, legal, etc. Co-Investment: Tpically 1-5% of raised equity Preferred Equity: 8% pref, GP catch-up to 10%, 80/20 split Remember, this is just an example and EVERYTHING is negotiable.
