PRIVATE EQUITY: A TWO-STAGE STRATEGY, QUITE SIMPLE
|
A Private Equity manager creates a fund by raising capital, mainly among institutional investors, with a view to taking equity stakes in unlisted companies. For several years it supports the directors of these companies in the implementation of a value-added strategy.
A Private Equity fund generally has a legal life of several years. The first few years are the investment period, during which the fund gradually invests in the capital of unlisted companies. These holdings are then successively sold over the last years of the fund's life: capital and profits are distributed to investors.
