| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (7/10/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5: Fees and Compensation Management and Incentive Fees Northgate provides investment management and administrative services to the Funds and is compensated through management fees. The LPAs provide that the Funds pay the GP Entities annual management fees, which are then generally allocated to Northgate in exchange for the services Northgate provides. The typical management fee for the Funds-of-Funds is 0.8% - 1% per annum of the committed capital to each Fund, and the typical management fee for the Direct Funds is 2% per annum of the committed capital to each Fund. Certain Funds charge, and certain Form ADV Part 2 Brochure | Northgate July 2026 investors have negotiated, fees that are lower than the typical management fees. Investors should refer to the applicable Fund governing documents for further details on management fees payable by a specific Fund. Typically, Northgate does not charge management fees in respect of related persons of Northgate who invest in the Funds. In addition to the management fee, each GP Entity receives an incentive allocation of a portion of the relevant Fund’s profits. The incentive allocation is based on the performance of the investments made by a Fund above the capital returned to the investors. See Item 6 for further discussion of performance fees. The Funds generally pay management fees quarterly in advance, with appropriate reimbursements for any partial periods. Incentive allocations are paid to the GP Entities as proceeds are realized from Fund investments. The amount and duration of the management fee and incentive allocation are set prior to the commencement each Fund’s term and are not cancelable except for cause and by a vote of the limited partners. The management fee paid to the GP Entity by the Fund typically parallels the amount paid by the GP Entity to Northgate in terms of amount and timing. However, the incentive allocation is paid directly to the GP Entity from the Fund, and the GP Entity, in turn, distributes the incentive allocation to the owners of the GP Entity, who include senior executives, control persons of Northgate or third parties outside of the firm. Certain Fund investors negotiate a lower or special management fee or incentive allocation. Current and prospective investors should refer to the applicable LPA for additional details on the incentive allocation payable in relation to a specific Fund. As noted above, typically, Northgate does not charge performance fees in respect of related persons of Northgate who invest in the Funds. Redemption Fees Investors will generally only be permitted to withdraw from a Fund with the GP Entity’s consent. Under certain circumstances, including the failure to pay timely capital calls, investors in a Fund will have their interests liquidated, resulting in the forfeiture of a portion of their contributions, as disclosed in the respective Fund’s offering documents. Other Fees and Expenses Pursuant to each Fund’s LPA, an investor in the Fund will be subject to a pro-rata allocation of Fund expenses.
