True Alpha Fee Structure

Cresana exclusive
Why we built this

Traditional PMS fee structures charge a performance fee annually or quarterly against a fixed hurdle rate — even when returns merely track the market. This disrupts compounding and incentivises short-termism: managers position for near-term fee triggers rather than long-term wealth creation. Investors pay for beta disguised as alpha, while their capital is interrupted every time a fee is extracted.

The True Alpha Fee Structure charges no performance fee during the measurement period. Your capital compounds completely uninterrupted — for 3 to 5 years — without a single deduction for performance. A performance fee is payable only at exit or at the end of the agreed period, and only if our net returns exceed the compounded total return of Nifty 50 TRI over that exact horizon. If we match or underperform the benchmark, you owe us nothing beyond the minimal management fee.

“Alpha earned, not borrowed. No short-term positioning to hit fee triggers. No fee on beta. Only sustained, benchmark-beating returns — measured honestly over a multi-year horizon.”
