An institutional investor is comparing management fees for two competing real estate investment funds. Both funds expect to begin operations and are accepting capital commitments.

Fund A will charge a fee of 45 BP on capital committed and 60 BP on capital invested after the investment period ends. Fund B will charge a fee of 50 BP on capital committed and 55 BP on capital invested after the investment period ends.
