If your friend offered you his/her own money to trade, what kind of arrangement would be fair and/or reasonable in regards to sharing of the profits? For example, would it be fair to split 50% of the profits earned (not the initial equity, just the profits) from trading your friend's money? What's the lowest percent that you would consider worth your time and effort?

Depends completely on the amount he entrusts to you to trade.
If you trade $100,000 of his money 20% of profit might be worthwhile. I think money managers get 10 ~20% with a minimum amount usually at least $25K.

Guru,
be careful with these kind of arrangements. Friendship and money arrangements often end in disaster (for the friendship) and sometimes for both.

do it like this:
Friend invests XXX dollars with you.
you trade and make friend $XXX back.
There after you split all future profits 50/50
Win/win
Of course you do have an excellent track record?

Don't forget if you transfer the money to trade in your own account you will have the Tax burden. If you leave it in his own account he will have the tax burden and any other liabilities that may arise.
I would get a good lawyer to work out the details.

And if you consult a "good" lawyer there will be so many caveats and so many clauses for so many "eventualities" that you are both sick and tired before the deal even starts, jmho

Hmm, if you believe ure entitled to share the profit, does that also mean you'll split the losses as well? It's no wonder that I don't go down well with mutual funds and their "give me, give me, but don't blame me" policy.

Mark, I agree... that's how I do it.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
