Performance Fees

A performance fee is a percentage of trading profits. Investors should know whether the calculation uses gross or net profit and how deposits and withdrawals are handled.

High-Water Marks

A high-water mark can help prevent a manager from charging a new performance fee simply for recovering prior losses.

Other Costs

Broker spreads, commissions, swaps, platform fees or administrative charges can affect net returns.
