Insights
Mount Logan formalizes a related-party staffing model with BC Partners.
Mount Logan Capital Inc. has executed a new Staffing and Resource Agreement with BC Partners Advisors L.P., under which BC Partners will supply personnel and operational resources as an independent contractor. Compensation is tied to fee-earning assets under management via a quarterly service fee, with the possibility of additional equity-based compensation, aligning payments with the scale of the advisory business.
The agreement includes indemnification for BC Partners Advisors except in cases of fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, which is a common structure but concentrates some risk on Mount Logan. The initial one-year term with automatic annual renewals and 60-day termination rights adds flexibility if either party’s needs change. The arrangement is a related-party transaction, given BC Partners’ minority equity interest and overlapping senior management, so the economic impact and governance implications will depend on the detailed terms in the attached agreement and on how the fee formula tracks future asset levels.
