Private equity is capital that is not quoted and valued on any kind of public exchange. As Kelechi Okereke explains to his clients, private equity consists of funds and investors that make direct investments into private companies or engineer buyouts of public companies, causing the delisting of public equity. Kelechi Okereke also tells his clients that capital for private equity comes from wealthy individuals and institutional investors. Private equity can fund new technology development, build on working capital within a company, to make acquisitions, or to build a better balance sheet. Most private equity comes from institutional and accredited investors. These individuals can usually commit large sums of money for long durations.
