Wednesday webinar at one: What fees do investors actually pay for private capital funds

Wednesday 25 February 2026 | 13:00 - 13:50 | Webinar

Private equity fees have long been under scrutiny for their perceived high levels and lack of transparency compared to traditional asset classes. But what’s the real picture? 

Using novel data collected under the Cost Transparency Initiative (CTI) framework from asset managers on behalf of asset owners, Oliver Bell, Head of Research at ClearGlass Analytics will look at which specific costs and fees, at a granular level, are the source of cost burden in private equity funds.  

The typical private equity fee structure is believed to be ‘2&20’ – 2% management fee and 20% carried interest, Oliver will investigate if this is the actual average experience in these funds, and if there are unusual costs and fees outside of this that investors may not be aware of. 


In this webinar you will: 
- Gain clarity on the true cost of private equity investing.  
- Understand the fee structures, average costs. 
- How to leverage this knowledge for better outcomes on both the buy-side and sell-side. 

Who Should Attend: 
Investment professionals, and anyone involved in private capital markets seeking to deepen their understanding of fee structures and improve strategic decision-making.
