Private Equity Fund
A private equity fund is a pooled investment vehicle that invests in unregistered equity securities. A private equity fund is managed by a private equity firm. The fund invests directly in a private company or "buys out" a public company resulting in a delisting of public equity. Capital investments from the fund are used to strengthen and expand a healthy business, or restructure the operations of an underperforming business. Private equity investors make a long-term commitment hoping for a reversal of a distressed company or an event that results in a liquidation of assets like the a big company purchasing the company or an Initial Public Offering.
