Private equity is a form of investment in which firms raise capital from institutional and accredited investors to buy stakes in, or entire ownership of, private companies (or take public companies private), aiming to improve operations and later sell for a profit. Professionals in this field, including analysts and partners at PE firms, focus on deal sourcing, financial modeling, leveraged buyouts, and portfolio company management.
