This is my second post about information that you should be familiar with if interviewing for a role in Private Equity (the first was on valuation). The objective is to arm the uninitiated with information that will make you able to talk, if not like an expert, then at least like someone who is not a complete newcomer to the subject.

Artificial Intelligence – AI – is the hot topic of the moment and understandably so, with the widespread availability of services such as Chat GPT bringing the subject firmly into the mainstream and making it widely apparent that we are on the cusp of a major technological step forward.

Private equity (PE) refers to investments made directly into private companies or buying out public companies to make them private, rather than investing in publicly traded stocks. These investments are typically made by private equity firms, which pool capital from institutional investors (like pension funds, insurance companies, endowments) and high-net-worth individuals. The goal is usually to increase the value of the company over a few years and then sell it for a profit.
