Abstract: This article presents the investment scheme known as a private equity fund, the special characteristics that they have compared to general investment funds and also restrictions and practices regarding them that can be tolerated or not depending on the legislation. New terms associated with investment are introduced at a steady rate and some of them can be tricky because they have a specific meaning in a specific region and the purpose of the article is to clarify them. There is also a model presented to evaluate these investments, which is similar to the ones used for investment funds, but has specific elements associated with private equity funds.
