hard · Private Equity

A fund using an American (deal-by-deal) waterfall exits Deal 1 at a $50M profit and pays $10M in carry to the GP. Later, Deal 2 exits at a $30M loss. At the end of the fund's life, there are no other profits or losses.

If the fund has a 20% carry entitlement on total profits, how much must the GP return via the clawback?

  1. $6M
  2. $0
  3. $10M
  4. $4M
