A private equity firm specializes in high risk investments that can produce impressively high rewards. They deal in those assets that aren’t normally available to the public to buy. Such a firm is made up of a collection of individuals who have joined forces to invest in this type of asset. Those who manage the investment will be rewarded with a share of the profits and a management fee.
