About Ironwood Capital Partners
Private Equity entails the investing of investor funds in the shareholding of private businesses. These investments are typically for meaningful minority stakes, and in some cases may even be for majority controlling stakes. Private placements in listed companies will also fall into the category of Private Equity investing. Investments are typically made via a fund, which has been capitalized by a series of investors (the Limited Partners or ‘LPs’) such as High Net Worth Individuals, Family Offices, Corporates, and Financial Institutions. Private Equity investors invest for the long-term, and their interests are represented and looked after in the invested firm by a Private Equity Fund Manager (the General Partner or ‘GP’).
