Understanding the Private Equity Asset Class

What is Private Equity?

Private Equity involves the acquisition of significant or controlling stakes in private companies that are not listed on public exchanges.

Private Equity firms typically raise funds from institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individuals to invest in these companies and enhance their value through strategic management, operational improvements, and sometimes financial restructuring.

The ultimate goal is to achieve significant investment returns, often exceeding 15% internal rate of return (IRR) and 2.0x gross investment at the time of selling the stakes, typically after a holding period of 3-7 years.

The Fundamentals of Private Equity

Private Equity firms raise capital from institutional investors and use strategies like leveraged buyouts, growth capital, and venture capital to acquire and manage companies.

They actively work to enhance operational efficiency, expand markets, and optimize financial structures in their portfolio companies. The investment is typically held for 5 to 7 years before being sold through an exit strategy like an IPO or sale to another firm.

Higher Returns

Private Equity has historically achieved higher returns than public markets, targeting 15%+ IRR.

Diversification

Provides diversification from traditional asset classes and protection against market volatility.

Active Value Creation

Managers work closely with portfolio companies to create operational value.

Global Exposure

Access to global markets and growth opportunities through specialized managers.
