Starting a private equity fund sounds attractive, until you run the numbers.
If your fund is £20 million or smaller, the traditional 2 and 20 private equity model often fails to generate meaningful income for the fund manager, especially in the UK under FCA and AIFMD regulations.

Aspiring private equity fund managers, Operators considering raising a first-time fundInvestors curious about how PE funds really make moneyAnyone evaluating UK private equity fund structuresIf you’re thinking about starting a private equity fund in the UK, watch this before you commit capital, time, or reputation.
