Private Equity Secrets Revealed

by Peter Cartier

I worked in a small team, as most private equiteers do, investing many millions of dollars into seemingly successful businesses. We worked directly for our investors; not only as advisers or consultants, but as genuine investment partners. That meant we had carte blanche to buy any business we saw fit, as long as it adhered to our loose investment mandate and as long as the owner was willing to sell.
