Investor Alignment & Fee Transparency

Eliminating the "Fee-Drag"

Traditional private equity firms often charge a standard 2% annual management fee based on total asset value. This creates a persistent "drag" on investor net returns, as fees are paid regardless of whether the asset is performing. Dwella eliminates this drag by removing ongoing management fees on assets. Instead, our returns are generated strictly through Operational Alpha—increasing the value of the property through superior management and design.

The Co-Investment Model: Total Alignment

We operate on a "General Partner (GP) & Limited Partner (LP) Alignment" framework, represented by the physical balance in this slide.

  • Shared Success: Our compensation is structured to move in lockstep with the performance of the asset.

  • Investor-First Priority: We prioritize the Return of Capital within a target 4-year window.

  • Performance-Based Pay: Performance-based compensation is only realized after investor hurdle rates and 100% of capital is returned.

 

100% Fee Transparency

  • Zero Management "Fee-Drag": Unlike typical firms that charge a 2% annual fee regardless of performance, we remove ongoing management fees on assets to eliminate investor drag.

  • Full Capital Visibility: We operate a "No Hidden Fees" model where investors see exactly where every dollar of capital is deployed.

  • Performance-First Alignment: Our compensation is realized strictly through Operational Alpha and the success of the project. We do not participate in performance-based splits until the investors have received their 12% Priority Yield and 100% Return of Capital.

  • Audited Transparency: Every project is subject to rigorous reporting, ensuring that the General Partner (GP) and Limited Partner (LP) are in total lockstep regarding the asset’s financial health.
