Private equity is money invested by companies or individuals directly in another company. This money is generally a composition of debt and equity that is commingled with that of investors to obtain a controlling interest in a company and to earn a return on the value of that investment.
Private equity invests in private operating companies and is not publicly traded.
Private equity firms usually use an amount of debt along with the balance to invest in other companies. This results in maximizing returns for these companies where they will be able to make large buyouts without investing a large amount of their own money.

Private Equity Funds are structured as limited partnerships, with limited partners who are the contributors of the majority of the capital along with the general managers who manage the fund.
