Private equity firms are financial institutions that act as an intermediary between large investors willing to invest in private equity stocks. Since private companies cannot raise capital publicly, private equity firms facilitate private companies in raising funds from large institutional investors through venture capital arrangements and buyouts.
The private equity firm earns from providing funds to equity firms and when the companies grow or perform better, they can profit from selling the stock to large private equity investors at a higher price. Another way of doing this is through an initial public offering where the private equity firm charges a higher underwriting fee from the companies going public.
