Qube Research to Charge Staff Performance Fees on Investments
Qube Research & Technologies, a hedge fund, is now charging some of its employees the same performance fees that clients pay.
This means that if employees have money invested in the firm's funds, they'll be charged a percentage of the profits, just like external investors.
The change impacts a small percentage of Qube's staff, mostly in Singapore.
These fees range from 25% to 35% depending on the fund.
This is similar to how other hedge funds motivate their employees.
Qube was founded in 2018, has grown rapidly, and manages billions of dollars.
