Allocator at a big pension fund with $100m invested literally begged us to start a new vehicle running the same strategies because they wanted to stay invested but couldn't justify to their boss being in a fund that was 20% underwater

If we agreed it would have crystalized their losses and they would start again with a new high water mark. Obviously we didn't do it. Can't remember whether they redeemed or not, but the fund was back above high water mark within 15 months.

Our perf fee was 20%. This allocator was willing to give up ~$4m (20% of 20% of $100m) of their investors' money rather than have a difficult conversation with their boss.
