Key Terms

limited partnership financial

"which was then a publicly traded limited partnership focused on the transportation"

A limited partnership is a legal business structure with two types of partners: at least one general partner who runs the business and bears full legal responsibility, and one or more limited partners who contribute money, share profits, and have liability capped at their investment. For investors, it matters because it separates control from financial exposure — like putting money into a store without managing it — and affects how returns, risks, taxes and transferability of ownership are handled.
