A private equity (PE) fund is a pool of capital raised mainly from institutional investors and then invested by a PE firm. Rather than creating a highly diversified fund, such as a mutual fund, by investing many small amounts in a large number of companies, a PE fund invests large amounts in the entire share capital of a small number of companies. The important thing to appreciate about PE is that, by acquiring the whole share capital of a company (or a minimum of 51%), the fund manager also obtains control of (the ability to direct) the companies which it has acquired.
