Traditionally, new money is added to a fund at an evaluation value of:
New Money Fund Participation % = New Money / AUM of the Fund
This accounting method is simple in concept and simple to implement. However, the traditional accounting dilutes the existing Limited Partners and favors “New Money” because it shares existing positions with “New Money”. Meaning if the Fund is in some profitable positions the traditional accounting would share these positions at the new “Fund Participation %” and therefore lessening the existing Performance of the Limit Partner(s).
Traditional portfolio management adds new money to existing positions and or trades. Again this method of adding to the Fund portfolio is simple to understand and simple to implement. However, traditional portfolio management dilutes the profitability of existing positions, if they are not entered in at optimal Risk Management §5.4 levels, therefore existing positions are diluted further lessening the existing Performance of the Limit Partner(s).
The Unicorn Macro Fund, LP optimizes Limited Partner Return on Investment in two ways. One, it does not allow new money, ie, Additions and Subscriptions §6.1, to dilute the investments of existing Limited Partner(s) and two, it employs strict Risk Management §5.4 disciplines on every trade. Consequently, all Additions and Subscriptions wait in the Fund’s Escrow Account §2.2 until the Next Main Trade §5.9. The Fund maintains strict Risk Management on all trades, by establishing a specific entry point and risk limits. Since the Fund typically enters each trade once, at the time of the Next Main Trade, Trade Participation §5.10 is determined by the AUM of the Limited Partner §4.9 plus any Additions and Subscriptions §6.1 in the Escrow Account §2.2. By accounting for the Ownership Percentages §2.4 using this method, it may take 3 - 6 months for the Additions and Subscriptions to be fully invested, however over time, this method Optimizes Return on Investment for the Limited Partner.
