Private Equity

Private Equity is a form of alternative investment strategy used by firms and investors to directly invest in private companies or conduct buyouts of public companies. Coursera's Private Equity catalogue equips you with the knowledge of financial modelling, valuation techniques, and strategic analysis used in the private equity industry. You'll learn about the life-cycle of a private equity deal, from sourcing and due diligence to exit strategies. Additionally, you'll gain insights on managing portfolio companies, understanding leveraged buyouts, and navigating the complex legal and tax landscapes. This knowledge will be beneficial for aspiring investment bankers, financial analysts, and those interested in the field of corporate finance.
