Hi all,

Does anyone have a template to compare economics of a traditional search fund vs. a self funded search? Or what performance you need to be "in the money"?

Thanks a lot!

The model from here may help : https://www.toptal.com/finance/private-equity-consultants/search-fund-investor

It is based on a traditional model, but it may be a good starting point.

Hisham, you can find the detailed description in this post https://bit.ly/3eSLTay or in chapter 3 of the Stanford Primer https://stanford.io/3cMM6uI. Hope it helps!
