What form will the proposed carried interest come in?

By examining the Thelander data on carried interest for CVC units, some key takeaways: 

  • In 2022, 28.9% of CVC firms reported that they were re-introducing carried interest to management. This was the same percentage seen in 2020.
  • Of the firms re-introducing carried interest, 30.0% of them are proposing a direct assignment of carried interest, followed by proxy equivalent paid as cash bonus. This was more popular for 2022 compared to for 2021 or 2020.
