What is Private Equity? An Introduction
Private equity (PE) is a form of alternative investment that involves investing in companies that are not listed on public stock exchanges. In certain cases, private equity firms may also acquire publicly traded companies with the intent of taking them private—distinguishing them from traditional investors who focus solely on listed securities. Private equity funds are typically organized as limited partnerships, where the PE firm acts as the General Partner (GP) responsible for managing the fund and making investment decisions, while investors participate as Limited Partners (LPs), providing the capital but not engaging in day-to-day management. Each private equity fund usually focuses on a specific sector, region, or investment strategy (e.g., growth capital, buyouts, distressed assets). The capital raised is deployed into selected companies, with the aim of enhancing value over time. Eventually, the PE firm seeks to exit the investment—through a sale, merger, or IPO—ideally delivering substantial returns to its investors.
| Fund Type | Target Companies | Risk Level | Primary Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leveraged Buyout (LBO) Funds | Mature, profitable firms | Medium | Restructure and exit at higher value |
| Venture Capital (VC) Funds | Early-stage startups | High | High-growth, high-return potential |
| Growth Equity Funds | Profitable companies seeking to scale | Medium | Accelerated growth and market entry |
| Distressed Asset Funds | Financially troubled or undervalued firms | High | Turnaround and value creation |
| Mezzanine Funds | Stable firms needing late-stage capital | Medium | Hybrid income + equity upside |
| Sector-Specific / Thematic Funds | Industry or theme-based investments | Varies | Focused expertise and returns |
