Key Terms

private equity fund, limited partner, general partner, tranches

4 terms

private equity fund financial

"a newly established private equity fund known as the Guangxi Yuchai Double Growth Fund"

A private equity fund is a pooled investment vehicle where a group of investors gives money to professional managers who buy, improve, and later sell private companies or assets. Think of it as a renovation team that buys rundown houses, upgrades them, and sells them for a profit; for investors this can mean higher returns than public stocks but also longer lock-up periods, higher risk, and less liquidity.

limited partner financial

"Yuchai has participated ... as a limited partner with Guangxi Investment Guidance Fund"

A limited partner is an investor in a pooled investment vehicle—such as a private equity, venture capital, or real estate fund—who provides capital but does not take part in day‑to‑day management and whose financial responsibility is capped at the amount invested. For investors, being a limited partner matters because it defines how much control they have, how much risk they bear, and how returns are distributed; think of a limited partner as a silent co‑owner who shares in profits and losses while leaving operations to the fund managers.

general partner financial

"CMSC is the sole general partner and fund manager of the Growth Fund"

A general partner is the person or firm that runs an investment partnership and legally represents it — they make the day-to-day decisions, choose which assets to buy or sell, and are responsible for the partnership’s obligations. Investors care because the general partner’s judgment, risk-taking and fee and profit-sharing arrangements determine both the potential returns and the level of exposure to losses; think of the GP as the ship’s captain whose skill and honesty shape the voyage’s outcome.

tranches financial

"contribute RMB 1 billion ("Commitment Amount") in three tranches of 40%, 30% and 30%"

Tranches are portions or slices of a larger financing deal—such as a loan, bond issue, or equity round—that are released at different times or under different conditions. For investors they matter because each tranche can carry different risk, interest or payout terms and may be paid only if certain targets are met; think of funding as slices of a cake handed out as progress is made.
