Today the EVCA has launched a simple animation, "How private equity works", to help explain the role of private equity to people unfamiliar with our industry. This is just one of a range of tools that the EVCA has developed to foster greater awareness of private equity, including our "Little book of private equity" and website, which was re-launched recently.
The animation is aimed at those who have come across the term ‘private equity’ as they have followed political or business news but are not clear how private equity fits into the investment picture. We would be delighted if you also found it useful to share with your contacts.
We will also be distributing the animation via Twitter and LinkedIn
