The success fee aligns our long-term success to yours, so is only payable if you make a profit on your investment. If you make a return on your investment, you’ll keep 80% of any profit, and we’ll take a 20% fee for managing your investment over the years. If your investment doesn’t make a profit, then there is no charge.

For example, if you invest €10,000 and receive a return of €100,000, you’ll receive your €10,000 investment back, as well as 80% of the €90,000 profit, which equates to €72,000. QUICKERS success fee would be €18,000, which equates to 20% of the €90,000 profit.

The fee only applies to profits made on investments in businesses.

The success fee, which is sometimes also known as ‘carry’, covers all the work we undertake to manage your investment. This includes:

• Liaising with companies to ensure you’re kept up to date with key business updates, and where relevant, managing investor votes to ensure you have your say on important business decisions.
• Managing pre-emption and follow-on rounds to ensure you can maintain your stake in the company and continue to fuel its growth.
• Taking care of all the admin needed to receive a return on your investment when a business you have invested in exits, pays a dividend or sells shares via a secondary share sale.
