As this was a case study driven module, to complete its project, you need to find a case study of a Private Equity Fund, who exited its stakes in a company by selling them to either of the following:

Another company

Another PE fund

The Founder

Through an IPO.

Please shed light on

Whether the PE fund exited the company with a positive return or a negative return. In case the exit was with a positive return, the journey of the company leading to the exit. In case the exit was with a negative return, the journey of the company leading to the exit.

The valuation at which the exit was made. It would help if this section can also include the rate of return that the PE fund was able to obtain through the exit. To find the rate of return, you can find out the initial investment of the PE fund into the company and the money that they got during the exit. You look at the holding period and use a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) calculator to derive the rate of return.

Please do mention whether the PE fund will continue to hold shares in the company, after exiting. Also, please do keep this point in mind, while solving for (2).
