Guidelines

Fees and costs should be classified consistently for the purpose of calculating the INREV fee and expense metrics. Fees and costs included in TGER are categorised according to the respective nature of the underlying services. To the extent that the fee is charged for a service provided by the manager in lieu of a service provided by a third party, and is charged in addition to the fund management fee, or is otherwise disclosed separately from the fund management fee, it should be classified according to the nature of the service rather than whether the service is provided by the investment management or third party.

Vehicle fees included in the TGER comprise of:

A. Ongoing management fees and transaction-based management fees:

• Asset management fees;
• Fund management fees;
• Wind-up fees;
• Debt arrangement fees;
• Commitment fees;
• Subscriptions fees;
• Redemption fees;
• Property acquisition fees amortization for the year;
• Property disposition fees;
• Project management fees.

Where a single fee is charged to cover a variety of activities, the constituent elements will need to be identified, allocated to their appropriate category and disclosed appropriately.

B. Performance fees:

• Performance fees;
• Incentives and promotes;
• Carried interest;
• Other performance fees.

Fee reductions, fee waivers, and transaction offsets recognised in the financial statements of the vehicle, should be disclosed as part of the ongoing investor reporting, and included in TGER.

Fee reductions, fee waivers, and transaction offsets not recognised in the financial statements of the vehicle are excluded from the TGER and may be disclosed if permitted.
