Fulcrum Fee

Categories: Regulations, Investing

A fulcrum fee is an additional fee that's added when an adviser does well and gets a better-than-expected return. On the other side of the coin, the fulcrum fee reduces the fee the adviser would get if the adviser ends up losing a client money.

It's basically a performance-based fee for advisers that acts as a financial stick and carrot.
