Abstract:
Investment firms include private equity funds (which raise capital to invest in start-ups or existing businesses) and hedge funds (investment funds that specialize in certain investments such as debt instruments, stocks or derivatives). They are typically not organized as public corporations, with stocks traded on an exchange, but as partnerships.
