Connect your fund data to your AI client to see how much capital fees actually consume. Once connected, your agent handles the math.

Short answer

How much does management fee drag reduce my deployment?

Management fees reduce your total deployment capability by diverting capital away from investments. Your AI calculates this drag by comparing your gross fund size against the net capital available after fees. You'll get a specific percentage and dollar amount showing the lost deployment power.

The outcomes of the calculation

What you get from the AI

The AI processes your fund parameters to produce these specific metrics.

PERCENTAGE

Total fee drag

The AI uses calculate_fee_drag to determine the exact percentage of your fund lost to management costs. This shows the relative impact on your capital.

DOLLARS

Deployment gap

You'll see the specific dollar amount that is unavailable for investment. This quantifies the actual capital lost to the fee structure.

SENSITIVITY

Fee impact modeling

Your agent can show how changing the fee percentage shifts your deployment capacity. This helps you see how sensitive your fund is to fee changes.

HUMAN

Final fund reporting

The AI provides the raw numbers and drag percentages. You use these outputs to build your final investor reports or fund models.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI performs the heavy lifting to isolate the cost of fees.

  1. Ingest fund data

    Your agent reads the fund size and fee percentages you provide in your prompt or connected files.

    calculate_fee_drag

  2. Calculate drag

    The AI runs the math to find the specific percentage of capital diverted from deployment.

    calculate_fee_drag

  3. Quantify loss

    The agent converts the percentage drag into a hard dollar value representing lost deployment power.

    calculate_fee_drag

  4. Report results

    The AI presents the final drag percentage and dollar impact for your review.
