Private equity plays an important role in investment markets and the broader economy. Private equity funds—managed by general partners, or GPs—take stakes in companies, exercise control, and actively seek to improve the performance of their portfolio companies.

Private equity has become a key engine of investment markets, seeking absolute return while driving performance and efficiency in portfolio companies.
