Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)

PIPE refers to an investment approach that involves allocating capital to privately-held companies instead of publicly traded ones. Private equity investing is typically undertaken by investment funds that directly buy, sell, and invest in non-publicly traded companies. This type of investing is commonly dominated by large institutional investors, pension funds, venture capitalists, and other accredited investors due to their ability to influence the direction of the invested companies and the potential for higher returns compared to publicly traded companies.
