In addition to the fee components specified at this point, it is also necessary to consider the profit-linked remuneration in the case of co-investments. The purpose of this remuneration is to enhance the equality of interests between the asset manager and the investor and also to enhance the motivation to devote maximum intensity towards ensuring that the property is optimised. This remuneration is linked to profit,  

and is higher than a minimum IRR hurdle (between 7 % and 14 % IRR depending on the fund and the customer), and may result in significant figures in the event of success. The co-investment of an AM service provider is usually between 2.0 % and 10 % of equity. Without co-investments, profit-linked remuneration is either not possible or is much lower.
