If you need support or guidance with private equity investments, our specialists at Anderson Strathern can help.
Private equity refers to a type of transaction whereby investment firms raise capital from high-net worth and institutional investors. This is done by acquiring a stake in a private company, or gradually turning public companies into private ones.
The idea is to raise the value of these businesses through a series of financial and operational adjustments and improvements. The end goal is typically to make a profit through an exit, whether that is by an asset sale, a listing or a share sale.
Private equity firms tend to use both debt and equity to finance these investments. They focus on supporting and managing the companies to improve investment returns over time.

A private equity firm usually holds its investments for between three and seven years. After this stage, it often arranges to sell its stake or otherwise exit. While this is the average duration, private equity funds can have a maximum duration of ten years or more.
