Incentive fees are a standard practice in the finance industry, particularly in hedge funds, private equity, and investment management in both the US and Brazil. In the US, they are often called 'carried interest' or '20% carry.' In Brazil, this model has become increasingly common as the investment management industry has modernized, though traditional flat-fee models remain prevalent in some sectors. The term reflects a global shift toward performance-based compensation in financial services.
