INVESTMENTS: Recent trends in Tanzania private equity market

Private equity is medium to long-term finance provided by private equity investors/funds in return for ownership (‘equity’) stakes in potentially high-growth and unlisted companies, as opposed to venture capital which is provided to seed and early-stage companies whose cash flows may still be negative but have promising business models. In a study How Private Equity Investors Create Value, Ernst & Young and African Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (AVCA), after examining 350 private equity exits that occurred in Africa from 2007 to 2016, found that private equity investors created and preserved value in the companies they invested in, through providing capital and operational expertise and fostering close working relationships between the investors and company management.
