DetailsIn finance, private equity is a type of equity and one of the asset classes consisting of equity securities and debt in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. 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 of these provide working capital to a target company to nurture expansion, new-product development, or restructuring of the company¡¯s operations, management, or ownership.
