Deep dives

Understanding Private Equity

Private equity refers to investments in privately held companies, with firms managing these investments on behalf of passive investors. The CEO of a prominent private equity firm emphasizes the importance of management in this sector, sharing that they ensure a steady cash flow by securing contracts with large home builders for infrastructure projects. For instance, their firm is committed to delivering a certain number of home sites annually, allowing them to distribute preferred returns to investors from the generated cash flows. This model reassures investors that their money is tied to contracts with established builders, reducing the overall risk associated with private equity investments.
