Over the past several decades, private equity funds, venture capital funds, hedge funds, and similar alternative investment vehicles3 have attracted large amounts of capital investment from institutional investors such as pension funds and educational and charitable institution endowments, as well as from wealthy individual investors. These investors become limited partners in the funds, which are generally structured as partnerships. Some of the funds are established in offshore jurisdictions as well as in the U.S. The assets invested in these funds generally are managed by groups of individuals who contribute a relatively small amount of capital to the fund (in relation to amounts of capital contributed by the investors) and who provide investment expertise in selecting, managing, and disposing of fund assets.

It is a common practice for managers of the funds to receive "carried interests." A carried interest generally is a right to receive a percentage of fund profits without an obligation to contribute to the capital to the fund. In the case of a fund that is a partnership, the carried interest may be structured as a partnership profits interest, under which the partner has a right to receive a percentage of partnership profits, but has no obligation to contribute capital to the partnership, and has no right to partnership assets on liquidation of the partnership. Under a partnership profits interest, a partner generally does not have an obligation to contribute to the partnership's capital if the partnership experiences losses.

Is there an online tool to compare interest rates and rewards programs for credit cards?

Typically credit card reward programs are 1-2% of purchase while interest rates, APR, on credit card balances are in the mid-teens to low twenties. If the credit card balance is paid off monthly then it would be worthwhile to get the card with the reward program and higher interest rate since the higher interest rate would have no effect. However, if there is a monthly balance carried on the card then the interest charges will in most case be greater than any reward benefit so the card with the lower interest rate would be more suitable.
