Private Investment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

A private investment fund is an investment organization that does not call for capital from the general public. Members of a private investment<\/a> company basically have a wide knowledge of the industry as well as investments elsewhere. <\/p>

However, not every individual\/fund is termed a private investor\/fund. There are criteria outlined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 that a fund must meet.  Indeed, it is the 3C1<\/a> or 3C7<\/a> exemptions within the Act that are often practiced to institute a fund as a private investment fund. <\/p>

Trading funds publicly is sometimes difficult due to the regulatory and legal requirements placed on them. Hence, why private investment fund is quite easier to trade as the regulatory and legal requirements are much lower.  <\/p>

Additionally, the act limits both the amount and class of investors that can own shares in the fund.  In the U.S., under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a 3C1 fund can have up to 100 accredited investors. While a 3C7 fund can have a simple limit of around 2,000 qualified investors. <\/p>

Private Investment Definition<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

Indeed, so many definitions surrounding this topic. May be because of how wide the subject matter is. But let us give a few definitions of private investment <\/p>

As mentioned earlier, a private investment fund is an investment organization that does not call for capital from the general public.<\/p>

Another definition of private investment is a company that is in the business of buying and selling equity, debts, alternative assets, etc, but not listed on public exchanges.<\/p>

Furthermore, from a macroeconomic point of view, private investment is the purchase of a capital asset that is required to produce income, appreciate in value, or create both.<\/p>

Private Investment In public Equity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

You might be confused about how does a private investment goes in line with public equity. First of let us see what we mean by private investment in public equity(PIPE). <\/p>

Private investment in public equity (PIPE) is the Trading of publicly traded stock at a price below the current market value (CMV) per share. Again, it is also the practice of private investors buying publicly-traded stock at a price below the current price available to the public.<\/p>

Additionally, according to Wikipedia, \u2018It is an allocation of shares in a public company not through a public offering in a stock exchange\u2019. <\/p>

PIPE has less rigid regulatory requirements than public offerings hence, saving companies time and money and raise funds more quickly.<\/p>

How Does PIPE Work<\/strong>?<\/span><\/h2>

Specifically, there are two types of PIPE deals-the traditional and structured PIPE deal. In a traditional PIPE deal, a company will privately sell equity in a public common or preferred shares at a reduced rate close to the market price to an authorized investor.<\/p>

While in a structured PIPE, the issuing company issues convertible debt. It can often convert to the issuing company’s stock at the purchaser’s will.<\/p>

Generally, the offering company is trying to raise enough capital. Sometimes,  either because they need it urgently or because they could not acquire it through other means. The purchasing company (usually a mutual fund or hedge fund) is at the advantage of buying at a lowered price. This is because these directly sold shares are almost illiquid. The purchaser only has an interest if it can get the shares at a discount.<\/p>

PIPE deals are popular because of their competence. Also because they are subject to fewer regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). <\/p>

Any public company can open a PIPE deal with an accredited investor. This is primarily useful for smaller or lesser-known companies that might have trouble raising capital otherwise.<\/p>
