Private equity is medium to long-term finance provided in return for an equity stake in potentially high growth unquoted companies.

Private equity investing may broadly be defined as investing in securities through a negotiated process. Private equity firms generally receive a return on their investment through an initial public offering (IPO), a recapitalization, or a sale or merger of the company they control.
