We believe the client ought to pay to one manager only, hence avoid paying fees on top of other fees.
The team’s core expertise to professionally operate with the borrowed funds (typically released from the pledged real estate assets) with the absolute return mandate, which requires staying above “the water” on a quarterly basis(keeping maximum portfolio drawdown in single digit number), differentiates it very well from the competitors, managing plain-vanilla, non-pledged cash.

That way DPRG is secure from any hints of conflict of interest with the clients’ paper assets portfolios.
DPRG never charges any “management fees” for the bare fact of managing client’s asset portfolio, as it is quite common in the industry to charge management and success fee. On the contrary, DPRG employs only profit sharing promote structure, where the asset manager starts to get paid after certain client’s return hurdles are achieved. That way the manager gets compensated ONLY after the client makes certain money, as this is a proper partner fair treatment approach only possible for DPRG.
