Profit Shares Need Not Be Proportionate To Investment Ratios
Must profit shares be proportionate to investment amounts, as is the case with the shares of losses?
Profit shares need not be proportionate to investment amounts and may reflect varying amounts of time, effort and risk undertaken by different partners, but silent partners may not take a greater percentage than their investment amount, though they may take less.

For example, two working partners each provide 50% of the capital, and one may take 60% of the profits while the other takes 40%. If one partner were to remain silent having provided 50% of the capital, he may take up to, but not more than 50% of the profits.
