| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/30/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5: Fees and Compensation General The Governing Fund Documents of each Fund set forth in detail the fee structure relevant to such Fund. Lightyear typically receives compensation from fees based on a percentage of assets under management, carried interest distributions, and payment of certain other fees or expenses as disclosed in the Governing Fund Documents. A description of the carried interest distributions is included in Item 6 below. As the fees and expenses incurred by each Fund vary, prospective and current investors should review the fees and expenses listed below, as well as refer to the applicable Governing Fund Documents for a description of all relevant fees and expenses to be paid by a Fund. Management Fees As compensation for investment advisory services rendered to certain of the Funds, Lightyear receives a management fee (the “Management Fee”) based on committed capital through the investment period and on invested capital thereafter, pursuant to the applicable Governing Fund Documents. Certain of the Funds do not pay a Management Fee to Lightyear. With respect to certain Funds, Lightyear reserves the right to waive or reduce the Management Fee for certain Limited Partners including employees, Lightyear-affiliated feeder funds (or the limited partners of such feeder funds), or affiliates of Lightyear. The Management Fee is typically collected from the Funds quarterly in advance. For certain legacy Funds, in the event Lightyear does not provide advisory services with respect to a Limited Partner for the full period for which Management Fees have been paid, such Limited Partner will receive a refund in an amount equal to (1) the Management Fee initially allocated to such Limited Partner minus (2) its portion of the Management Fee recalculated as of the date that such advisory services terminated with respect to such Limited Partner. For certain more recent Funds, the Management Fees that have been paid in advance for a quarter will not be refunded in the event Lightyear ceases to provide advisory services during such quarter. Please see the applicable Fund’s Governing Fund Documents for specific information regarding Management Fees and reimbursements. Organizational Expenses Each Fund bears offering and organizational expenses subject, in certain cases, to a maximum amount as set forth in such Fund’s Governing Fund Documents. Fund Expenses Each Fund will bear certain costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with the operation and activities of its respective vehicles (including, but not limited to, parallel funds, alternative investment vehicles, and feeder funds). The amount of these expenses will reduce the actual returns received by Limited Partners on their investment in a Fund (and could, in certain circumstances, reduce the amount of capital available to be deployed by a Fund to make investments). These expenses vary significantly by Fund and Limited Partners and prospective investors should consult each Fund’s applicable Governing Fund Documents for a description of all expenses which will be borne by such Fund. While these expenses vary between Funds, they will typically include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses that are incurred in connection with, related to, arising from or attributable to (a) the operation and activities of any Fund, any parallel funds, any alternative investment vehicles, any Employee Co-Investment Funds, and any Feeder Funds (b) identifying, sourcing, developing, evaluating, investigating, researching, analyzing, negotiating, structuring, acquiring, holding, monitoring, maintaining, financing, refinancing, pledging, restructuring, and disposing of portfolio companies and all transactions related thereto and (c) the performance by Lightyear, the General Partners, the Affiliated Advisers, the Funds and their respective affiliates (including employees thereof) of their obligations under the relevant Governing Fund Documents and the agreements contemplated therein, as determined by the applicable General Partner, including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses that are incurred in connection with, related to, arising from or attributable to: (i) Management Fees; (ii) placement fees; (iii) “Broken Deal Expenses” which include all fees, costs and expenses incurred in identifying, sourcing, developing, evaluating, investigating, researching, analyzing, negotiating or structuring any portfolio investment that is not ultimately made including, without limitation, (a) expenses of Service Providers (as defined below), (b) all commitment, financing or reverse termination fees, (c) administrative expenses, (d) travel, travel- related and entertainment expenses (“T&E Expenses”) (as further described below), (e) the expenses of attending industry conferences, and (f) to the extent not prohibited by applicable U.S. federal securities laws, all fees, costs and expenses that are not otherwise borne by a co-investor (including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses set forth in (a) through (e) above); (iv) any service providers engaged in connection with the activities of the Funds, the General Partners, any related investment funds and any portfolio companies, including, without limitation, any attorneys and legal professionals, accountants, auditors, tax professionals, fund administrators, advisors (including, without limitation, investment bankers engaged in connection with the purchase or disposition of any investment), expert network providers, Consultants (as defined in Item 8) (including, without limitation, members of any third-party advisory committees of the Funds and Operating Partners (as defined below) engaged to provide services in respect of the Funds or one or more portfolio companies), research, data and software providers, valuation and appraisal experts, public relations consultants, local intermediaries, depositories, trustees, paying agents, custodians and safe-keeping ... |
