Private equity (PE) typically refers to investment funds, generally organized as limited partnerships, that buy and restructure companies. More formally, private equity is a type of equity and one of the asset classes consisting of equity securities and debt in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange.A private-equity investment will generally be made by a private-equity firm, a venture capital firm or an angel investor. Each of these categories of investors has its own set of goals, preferences and investment strategies; however, all provide working capital to a target company to nurture expansion, new-product development, or restructuring of the company's operations, management, or ownership.Common investment strategies in private equity include leveraged buyouts, venture capital, growth capital, distressed investments and mezzanine capital. In a typical leveraged-buyout transaction, a private-equity firm buys majority control of an existing or mature firm. This is distinct from a venture-capital or growth-capital investment, in which the investors (typically venture-capital firms or angel investors) invest in young, growing or emerging companies, but rarely obtain majority control.
Private equity is also often grouped into a broader category called "private capital", generally used to describe capital supporting any long-term, illiquid investment strategy.Bloomberg Businessweek has called "private equity" a rebranding of leveraged-buyout firms after the 1980s.To compensate for private equities not being traded on the public market, a private equity secondary market has formed, where private equity investors purchase securities and assets from other private equity investors.

    Back Ground Colour of Private Forum Areas

    I notice it isn't easy to spot which forum category you're posting in once you are in an existing thread so I've made the background colour kind of light orange. So if you clock the light orange you're posting in a private area of the forum. More to the point if it is white, you could be in...

    Firm vs Private

    I did a private boiler and hob job at the weekend and got paid in 2 days what I would get in 2 weeks from my firm. As much as I owe my boss for giving me a chance I've come to realise that I'm working my bum off for £80 a day (take home) and it's getting a little annoying when I've done my 7...
