Market Overview

Private equity is a type of investment in which assets are pooled from a variety of sources, including institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and pension funds, to purchase ownership holdings in private enterprises. Unlike publicly traded firms, these investments are not traded on stock markets. Private equity firms use these funds to acquire a major piece or all of a company, to increase its value over time through active management tactics. They collaborate closely with the acquired company's management to make operational improvements, strategic adjustments, and growth plans that will maximize its performance and, eventually, provide returns for investors. Private equity covers a wide range of business phases, from startups to existing enterprises, and frequently entails restructuring, expansion, or turnaround initiatives that reveal the company's maximum potential before exiting the investment through channels such as IPOs or sales. Cross-border deals, collaborations, and portfolio diversification provide access to new markets, various income streams, and potential synergies, hence driving growth and profitability in the US private equity market.
