Management, Performance and Founders Fees [Abstract]  
Management, performance and founders fees
Third Point Re, Third Point Re BDA, TPRUSA and Third Point Re USA are parties to Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreements (the “Investment Agreements”) with Third Point LLC and Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) under which Third Point LLC manages certain jointly held assets.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreements, TP GP receives a performance fee allocation equal to 20% of the net investment income of the applicable company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. The performance fee accrued on net investment income is included in liabilities as a performance fee payable to related party during the period, unless funds are redeemed from the Joint Venture accounts, in which case, the proportionate share of performance fee, as described in Note 17, associated with the redemption is earned and allocated to noncontrolling interests in related party. At the end of each year, the remaining portion of the performance fee payable that has not been included in noncontrolling interests in related party through redemptions is earned and then allocated to TP GP’s capital account in accordance with the Investment Agreements.
The performance fee is subject to a loss carryforward provision pursuant to which TP GP is required to maintain a loss recovery account, which represents the sum of all prior period net loss amounts, not offset by prior year net profit amounts, and that is allocated to future profit amounts until the loss recovery account has returned to a positive balance. Until such time, no performance fees are payable under the Investment Agreements.
Additionally, Third Point LLC is entitled to receive management fees, which are paid monthly. Pursuant to the Investment Agreements, a total management fee of 1.5% of net investments managed by Third Point LLC was paid to Third Point LLC.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, management and performance fees to related parties are as follows:
