Overview of global private equity investments

Institutional investors have warmed to private equity as an asset class over the last few years. However, many remain confused by it. James R Hedges and Karl Morawski of LJH Global Investments provide an overview of the industry and discuss its dramatic growth worldwide.

The authors discuss the nature of the industry, the types of private equity investing and the risks that are inherent within the asset class. They also give a global overview of how private equity has developed. The US is by far the most developed country but Europe is close behind, with the UK making a large proportion of the European total.
