AllianceBernstein tries Performance Fees

The basic fee of 0.05% in case the funds underperform are quite meagre, will this approach be sustainable? The fee income has to pay for a lot of expenses. The comp for CEO Peter Kraus alone ($6.35 Mio according to Yahoo) would need a fund volume of 12.7 Billion (!!) to pay for, and that leaves NOTHING for any other costs!
