General VC Questions

What happens if I adjust the “Fund Duration (Management Fees time period)” to more than 12 quarters — will that reduce Net IRR due to higher fees over time?

Yes, extending the fund duration beyond 12 quarters can reduce the Net IRR due to higher cumulative management fees over time. Management fees are typically charged annually as a percentage of committed capital, so a longer duration means more fees, which can reduce the net returns to investors.
