Private Equity

What is 'Private Equity'

Private equity is capital that is not noted on a public exchange.  Private equity is composed of funds and investors that directly invest  in private companies, or that engage in buyouts of public companies, resulting in the delisting of public equity. Institutional and retail investors provide the capital for private equity, and the capital can be utilized to fund new technology, make acquisitions, expand working capital, and to bolster and solidify a balance sheet.

Source of 'Private Equity'

Private equity comes primarily from institutional investors and accredited investors, who can dedicate substantial sums of money for extended time periods. In most cases, considerably long holding periods are often required for private equity investments, in order to ensure a turnaround for distressed companies or to enable liquidity events such as an initial public offering (IPO) or a sale to a public company.


Since the 1970s, the private equity market has strengthened readily.  Pools of funds are sometimes created by private equity firms in order to  privatize extra-large companies. A significant number of private equity  firms perform actions known as leveraged buyouts (LBOs). Through LBOs,  substantial amounts of money are provided in order to finance large  purchases. After this transaction, private equity firms attempt to  improve the prospects, profits and overall financial health of the  company, with the ultimate goal being a resale of the company to a  different firm or cashing out through an IPO.
