What are private equity investments and how do they differ from public equity?
Private equity investments refer to investments made in private companies or in public companies with the intent to take them private. These investments are typically made by private equity firms, institutional investors, or high-net-worth individuals, and they involve acquiring significant ownership stakes in businesses to generate high returns over the long term.
Unlike public companies, these shares are not listed on stock exchanges.
Private equity investments are often focused on:
Venture Capital: Investing in startups or early-stage companies with high growth potential.
Buyouts: Acquiring established companies, often with the aim of improving operations and selling at a profit.
Growth Capital: Funding to expand operations or enter new markets.
