Carried Interest
Definition
The share of investment profits that fund managers keep as their reward, typically around 20%.
Why it matters
Carried interest is how investors get rich when their bets pay off, which is why they push hard for big exits.
Example
A fund returns £100m profit, and the general partners take £20m as carried interest.
