Typically, most private equity funds are structures as limited partnerships. Usually, the setup would require that the partnership be supported by a general partner who raises capital from cash-rich investors like pension plan and insurance companies, colleges and universities, foundations or high net worth individuals. These investors are identified as limited partners in the equity fund.
Theirs always companies involved in buyouts.
