Transaction Fee
A one-time fee of 1-2% of enterprise value paid by the portfolio company to the GP at deal closing for advisory and structuring services. The fee is paid from portfolio-company cash (reducing the company's enterprise value to LP-side equity at exit), making it an INDIRECT LP cost rather than a direct LP outflow. Most institutional fund LPAs include a fee offset that credits a percentage of transaction fees back against management fees — 80-100% offset is the institutional median in 2024-2025 vintage funds.
