@billparish11 What are your thought on dividend capitalization ? A practice common among PE shops

The name of the game for private equity is to "race to the carry." For example, if Oregon PERS invests $1 billion in a partnership with KKR, and KKR returns cash of $2 billion, KKR earns its standard management fee of 1.5 percent or $30 million in addition to $200 million in carry fees.

Can you explain the carry fee for a non-financial person

If you invest $100, everything returned above that earns a 20 percent carry fee. The carry fee has nothing to do with profitability but rather results from the private equity partners ability to extract cash from the business by piling on debt, non-payment of taxes, etc. This is also why they immediately slash wages and benefits, outsource aggressively, etc. They generally have little interest in long term profitability.
