Notable Quotes 2
Deutsche Bank may or may not receive payment of similar fees (which may be lower or greater than fees received in connection with the placement of Interests in the Access Fund) with respect to the placement of interests in certain other funds established, sponsored or distributed by the General Partner, the Investment Manager, the Glendower GP or their respective affiliates, as well as others.
Accordingly, the potential for Deutsche Bank to receive such fees in connection with the Access Funds may create an incentive for Deutsche Bank to recommend and market an investment into the Access Funds and presents a potential conflict of interest in recommending a direct or indirect investment in the Access Funds as compared to investments in other funds where Deutsche Bank may not receive such fees or may receive lower fees.
Red Flags 2
- Potential conflicts of interest due to Deutsche Bank's fee structure, which may incentivize them to recommend certain investments over others.
- The document highlights that Deutsche Bank clients investing directly in the Underlying Fund will not bear the additional layer of fees and expenses to which DB Introduced Persons are subject.
