Private equity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (392 words) |
 | Private equity is a broad term that refers to any type of equity investment in an asset in which the equity is not freely tradable on a public stock market. |
| Generally, private equity funds are organized as limited partnerships which are controlled by the private equity firm that acts as the general partner. |
| Gross private equity returns may be in excess of 20% per year, which in the case of leveraged buyout firms is primarily due to leverage, and in the case of venture capital firms, due to the high level of risk associated with early stage investments. |
