by VC Experts.com, Inc., 10/23/2007

Now introducing the release of our 2007 Fund Formation Survey! In recognition of the increased complexity in private equity contracts, VC Experts has undertaken a survey regarding the best practice and standard operating procedures in five key areas:

• Fund Formation and Operation
• Fees and Expenses
• Distribution and Profit Sharing
• Performance Returns
• Corporate Governance of Funds and Portfolio Companies

This survey addresses these topics based on data collected from 2004 to present day, and provides expert commentary on not only the best practices but the direction of private equity fund formation. In particular, this study provides:

• Information regarding contractual terms and issues that impact financial and ongoing management of partnerships
• Items for consideration when negotiating specific contractual terms
