Key Terms

fee earning assets under management, co-investment
2 terms
fee earning assets under management financial
"Pro-forma for the transaction, Patria’s GPMS Fee Earning Assets under Management"
Fee earning assets under management are the portion of a financial firm's total assets that are actively managed on behalf of clients for which the firm charges management or performance fees. Think of it like the amount of customer money that is on a company’s payroll to earn revenue; larger or higher-fee balances typically mean more predictable income and help investors judge a manager’s growth potential and profitability. This metric matters because it links client money directly to the firm’s fee revenue and future earnings visibility.
co-investment financial
"U.S. middle-market primaries and co-investment private equity segment"
Co-investment is when one or more investors put money directly into the same deal alongside a lead investor or fund, rather than only investing through the lead's pooled vehicle. Think of it like joining a group of friends to chip in for a single big purchase: it can give investors larger or cheaper exposure to a specific asset, closer alignment with the lead, and higher potential returns — but also concentrates risk in that single investment.
