Glossary
Private equity:
funds typically invest in equity capital that is not publicly available. Instead, the funds take direct ownership in private companies. Private equity has the potential to provide above-market returns, with greater control, reduced liquidity and greater diversification, than traditional public markets.
Venture capital:
is a form of private equity that investors provide to start-up companies and small business that exhibit high growth potential.
