What is the Difference Between Private Equity and Hedge Fund?

Private equity is defined as the funds that the investors take into use for the acquisition of public companies or to make an investment in private companies. Accredited investors usually make up a large sum of the private equity in any company because they are able to put in a lot of money for a longer amount of time. The money can be used to expand the company or bring advanced technology into a company to increase revenue. With the capital, you are also able to convert a public company into a private one.

Hedge funds are also known as Investment Partnerships. By partaking in a hedge fund you are protecting yourself from financial losses. They can be defined as privately owned entities that raise funds from the investors and then invest them back for a higher return. Hedge funds are not regulated by securities and exchange commissions.

We understand that choosing between a private equity and a hedge fund is confusing. Our team at Whitley LLP Attorneys At Law are here to help you throughout the process and help you find the option that is best for your situation.
