What are Private Equity Funds and why you should be thinking about this Alternative Investment Asset?

What is a Private Equity Fund?

A Private Equity Fund is a pool of funds accumulated from institutional or private investors with the aim of acquiring or investing in private businesses that aren’t publicly listed on a stock exchange. These private businesses are invested in because they represent an opportunity for a high rate of return on the initial investment and usually come with a fixed investment horizon, usually anything from 4 to 10 years.

When the investment has reached its maturity date, it’s usually liquidated in the form of an IPO (Initial Public Offering) by listing its shares on a stock exchange, making them available for purchase by the general public or selling the business to another private equity firm or strategic buyer for a profit.

Why should you invest in Private Equity?

A Private Equity Investment is attractive as an alternative asset because in terms of performance, it gives investors and investment firms the opportunity to diversify their portfolios and take on a higher level of risk in return for the potential to earn significantly higher returns than they can through traditional investment in public companies.
