Carried interest refers to the share of profits that investment managers, particularly in private equity and venture capital, receive as compensation for managing funds. This form of incentive aligns the interests of fund managers with those of their investors, as it is typically earned only when the fund exceeds a predetermined return threshold. Carried interest is crucial in motivating managers to maximize fund performance while also serving as a tax-advantaged income source for them.
