What Does Private Equity Mean?

Courtesy EzineArticles: Home Equity Loans  Wed, 11/04/2009 - 11:32

Private equity is an investment capital source that can be derived from wealthy (high end) individuals or organisations like pension funds, used for investment in a wide range of projects that are not funded by privately traded stock.

It is often the case that the money private equity companies raise, along with borrowed cash, is ploughed into firms that are seen to be under performing - and are believed to be able to do a lot better.
