Private Equity: A Comprehensive Overview

Discover the intricate world of private equity, a cornerstone in the global financial landscape fostering economic growth and nurturing businesses to fruition.

What is Private Equity?

Private Equity (PE) refers to investments in private companies or in making publicly traded companies private. It involves a dynamic network of private equity firms, venture capitalists, and angel investors, working towards the unified goal of value growth through strategic equity ownership.
This infographic delineates the various stages and key players involved in a private equity investment, offering a visual guide to the complexities of PE.

How Does Private Equity Work?

Dive into the meticulous process of private equity investments involving a series of calibrated steps and a range of stakeholders:

1. Fund Formation:

Managed by General Partners (GPs), they are backed by Limited Partners (LPs) comprising endowments, pension funds, and affluent individuals, to name a few.

2. Investment and Value Addition:

Leveraging the pooled capital to take substantial stakes in prospective companies and steer them towards heightened valuation through strategic guidance and capital injections.

3. Exit and Profit Sharing:

After nurturing the investments, they are sold at a profit with a significant portion being returned to the LPs, and a share known as ‘carried interest’ is retained by the GPs.
