Governing Mathematical Formula:

GP Promote = Excess Distributable Profits Above Hurdle × Carried Interest %

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

Preferred Return Priority Satisfaction

Before the GP earns a single dollar of promote, passive LPs receive their full preferred return hurdle ($1,400,000).

Excess Profit Carried Interest Promote

Excess Profit = Total Profit - Pref = $3,500,000 - $1,400,000 = $2,100,000. Pure GP Promote = $2,100,000 × 20% = $420,000.

Total GP Value Realization

GP Total Income = Pro-Rata Equity Share (5% of $3.5M = $175,000) + Pure Promote ($420,000) = $595,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Carried Interest (Promote) in private equity real estate? +

Promote is a performance fee paid to the General Partner sponsor. It is a share of project profits (typically 20%) distributed above an agreed preferred return hurdle, incentivizing sponsors to outperform return targets.

What is a clawback provision in a real estate waterfall? +

A clawback clause mandates that if a sponsor takes promote payments in early years, but the deal ultimately underperforms over the full hold period, the sponsor must return excess promote to ensure LPs achieve their preferred return.
