Private Equity is a particular way of financing unlisted companies throughout their existence. It is structured in four main areas: financing young companies (Venture Capital); supporting the development of growth companies (Expansion Capital); offering a solution to the problems of changes in shareholding structure, in particular the transfer of legacy companies (LBO); and finally enabling the buyout of companies in difficulty (Turnaround Capital).

Some fifty years after its appearance, Private Equity counts today more than 5,000 companies worldwide, which together manage cumulative assets of $2.83 trillion, an absolute record, and is growing steadily over the years.

Invest Europe is responsible for gathering data from more than 1,400 Private Equity firms in Europe. The 2018 statistics thus cover 89% of the €688 billion in assets under management in Europe.
