- Aeolun 3y agoStart a company, get a care home to buy itself and give itself to you, then profit! The returns are exactly what you make of them.
- version_five 3y agoNo, because it's private equity. As I said in another comment, public markets are effectively for dumb money, so they'll let anyone invest because they're essentially set up to take advantage of investors. Private investment means investing on your own, and is what "sophisticated" investors with a lot of money do.
- missedthecue 3y agoYou have to be an accredited investor AKA millionaire but yes you can invest in these funds and the returns aren't too bad, though they've come down as the number of buyout firms has exploded. Too much competition for deals now. The best way to make a buck in private equity these days is probably to start businesses and sell out to greedy buyers ASAP. Buying laundromats got really big in the past few years and I knew of a guy who started over 20 of them and sold them to idiots.
- dagw 3y agoSure. Just talk to your wealth manager or private banker, they'll be happy to help you ;)
