Private equity refers to a form of investment where funds are pooled from institutional and high-net-worth investors to acquire, invest in, or provide financing for privately held companies. These investments are typically not traded on public stock exchanges. Private equity firms raise capital to create investment funds, and their goal is to generate returns by actively managing and improving the performance of the companies in which they invest. This involvement often includes strategic decision-making, operational improvements, and, at times, restructuring. Private equity investments are known for their longer investment horizon, typically spanning several years. The returns for investors come from the eventual sale of the investments, either through a public offering or a private sale, with profits distributed among the fund's limited partners. The private equity industry plays a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurship, driving operational efficiency, and contributing to economic growth.
