What is Private Equity

In finance, private equity is an asset class consisting of equity securities in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange.[1] A private equity investment will generally be made by a private equity firm, a venture capital firm or an angel investor. Each of these categories of investor has its own set of goals, preferences and investment strategies; however, all provide working capital to a target company to nurture expansion, new product development, or restructuring of the company's operations, management, or ownership.[2] more info logon to : www.pegcc.org and www.privateequityatwork.com
