What is private equity?

Private equity refers to investment in private unquoted companies. It covers a wide spectrum of investments, from early stage investments in start-ups (venture capital) to the acquisition of large established companies (buyouts).

ICG Enterprise Trust focuses exclusively on buyouts in developed markets. We do this as we believe they offer the best risk / reward profile for our shareholders over the medium to long term.

A buyout typically involves the purchase of a majority of the equity of a well-established profitable company by one or more private equity funds.
