| johntan1979 | High-water mark definition: The highest peak in value that an investment fund/account has reached The high-water mark ensures that the manager does not get paid large sums for poor performance. So if the manager loses money over a period, he or she must get the fund above the high watermark before receiving a performance bonus. |
| lockwoju | Perhaps revise the gender biased "he" to the gender neutral "the fund manager". |
| ashish100 | Perhaps get some reading glasses @lockwoju #fail |
| 923029 | Does this exclude new money coming into the fund? |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
