What is private equity?
At a surface level, private equity investment involves owning shares or interests in companies that are not listed on public stock exchanges. This in turn allows those investing in them to potentially make greater returns on their funds compared to more traditional investments.
As a result, those who invest in private equity ventures gain a specific stake in the company/companies of their choosing under well-monitored conditions designed to mitigate risk and loss potential.

- Expanded opportunities: Private equity typically provides access to an expansive array of investment opportunities, especially within emerging markets and modern technology sectors.
- Decreased market fluctuation: Due to their more isolated nature, private equity investments often exhibit lower valuation volatility in comparison to other asset classes.
- Strategic timing advantages: Private equity managers benefit from the advantage of timing knowledge, using this to fulfil their investment goals more directly, unlike in public markets.
- High growth potential: Private equity investments can offer a considerable potential upsurge in growth, driven by a patient, long-term capital approach which sidesteps the short-term, quarter-to-quarter focus of public companies.
