A private equity fund pools finance from various investors<br \/>\n(very rich private individuals and the institutions). The fund then uses the finance to<br \/>\nbuy private sector businesses, often ones that were stock market listed. These businesses are then managed by the fund. The types of business that tend to be the targets<br \/>\nfor private equity funds are those that are seen to be underperforming under their previous senior management. A common action by the new management has been to<br \/>\nincrease the extent that the businesses are financed from borrowings rather than<br \/>\nequity. The effect of a listed business being taken over by a private equity fund is forthe shares to be totally held by the fund and \u2018delisted\u2019. This means that the shares are<br \/>\nno longer available to the public through the stock market.<br \/>\nWhen the private equity fund has \u2018turned round\u2019 the underperforming business,<br \/>\nthe business is disposed of, in some cases by relaunching it as a listed business.<br \/>\nDebenhams plc, a high street department store, was a listed business that was bought<br \/>\nby a consortium of three private equity funds in 2003. Less than three years later the business was<br \/>\nrelisted, making the consortium more than three times the \u00a3606 million that it had<br \/>\ninvested in the 2003 purchase (Rigby 2007). A number of \u2018household-name\u2019 businesses<br \/>\n(including the Automobile Association (AA) and Boots the Chemist) are currently<br \/>\nowned by private equity funds. Private equity funds are estimated to own businesses<br \/>\nthat employ around 19 per cent of all UK private sector workers (Power 2006).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/accounting-banking-and-finance\">Click here for government certification in Accounting, Banking &amp; Finance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rise of private equity funds and their ownership of a large portion of the world\u2019s private sector businesses is clearly evident.
