Brand Details

Type: Service

Description: Private equity firms raise capital from investors (limited partners) and use it to purchase companies. They then operate and improve these companies, aiming to sell them at a profit, thereby returning a profit to their investors. This process involves fundraising, operational management, and investment. The companies they invest in are initially or become private as a result of the investment. The investors may include pension funds, endowments, insurance firms, family offices, funds of funds, sovereign wealth funds, and high-net-worth individuals. Private equity investments are typically medium- to long-term and focus on potentially high-growth companies. The goal is to increase the value of the portfolio companies, achieve high returns, plan successful exits, diversify the portfolio, actively participate in and control the companies, and build long-term partnerships to maximize value for investors. Different strategies exist within private equity, such as focusing on specific market segments (e.g., middle market) or employing a "buy and build" approach to acquire and integrate multiple companies.
