Hedge Funds too. They are under the same loophole umbrella that PE principals use as well whereas large amounts of their compensation are treated as capital gains and not ordinary income. It's a joke.
I agree that the principle itself is "unfair". But they'd be idiots not to take advantage of the opportunity. PE firms especially have the excuse because what they're doing has around 5 year time horizon anyway and should be considered LT capital gains. I didn't realize that this was the case for hedge funds though

CPAs who work with these vehicles please chime in.
