TITLE:  Money Management with Performance Fees

SPEAKER:  Daniel Mitchell

ABSTRACT:

Hedge fund contracts are generally characterized by a flat fee, a performance fee and what are
know as high-water-mark provisions. This paper describes and characterizes these contract
features and analyzes how they influence the hedge fund's risk choices. We model the hedge
fund's portfolio choice as a stochastic control problem with hybrid discrete and continuous controls. We develop a computational method to solve this class of problems and prove its convergence.
