What are the types of private equity funds?
1. Private equity fund: A Private equity fund refers to a fund established by collecting funds from a few institutional investors and wealthy individual investors in a non-public way, and its sales and redemption are conducted through private consultation between the fund manager and the investors. In this sense, private equity investment funds can also be called funds raised from specific targets. It is relative to the securities investment fund that is supervised by the competent department of our government and publicly issues beneficiary certificates to unspecified investors.
2. Private equity fund: Private equity fund refers to the investment in equity assets that cannot be traded freely in the stock market. The investment contents of this investment mainly include non-listed company's equity or listed company's non-publicly traded equity, and the forms mainly include leveraged buyout, venture capital, growth capital, angel investment and mezzanine financing.
Private equity funds do not pursue equity gains, but sell equity through equity transfer paths such as listing, management buyouts and mergers and acquisitions.
3. Venture capital: Venture capital refers to a fund operated by a group of people with professional knowledge and experience in science and technology or finance, which specializes in investing in companies with development potential and rapid growth. Venture capital is an investment activity that supports new ventures and provides equity capital for unlisted enterprises, but does not aim at operating products. Venture capital is a high-risk and high-yield industry that mainly engages in capital management in the form of private equity, and pursues long-term capital appreciation by cultivating and coaching enterprises to start or re-start.
4. Other types of private equity funds: funds that invest in areas other than securities and their derivatives and equity. For example, according to the current actual needs, a "housing reform fund" can be established in other funds. With the implementation of the national housing system reform policy, public housing is gradually being sold to individuals. As state-owned funds, we should strengthen the management and supervision of the income from selling houses and the use of funds for selling houses in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, so as to ensure the safe and rational use of state-owned funds and the improvement and continuous improvement of employees' housing benefits.
The investment threshold of private equity funds is much higher than that of Public Offering of Fund. In Public Offering of Fund, it is generally 1 10,000 yuan, and private equity funds are generally 1 10,000 yuan. And the threshold is quite high, only high-net-worth customers can participate.
