How does a private equity fund work?

A private equity fund invests capital committed by investors in companies, aiming to increase their value and realise a profit upon exit.

Private equity funds manage the funds of institutional and private investors. Investments are made in accordance with a specific strategy, covering, among other things, the industry, the scale of companies and the investment horizon. Active support for the portfolio companies is a key element.
