As globalization reshapes the financial landscape, the community of retail investors has burgeoned over the past two decades. This expansion, while offering a diverse tapestry of investment options, has also introduced a layer of complexity to the decision-making process. Navigating the inherent risk associated with equity shares, where returns are inherently uncertain, becomes paramount for retail investors. Striking a delicate balance between maximizing returns and minimizing risk becomes the key objective. Investors actively seek instruments that offer either higher returns for the same level of risk or equivalent returns for a lower level, ultimately aiming for optimal risk-adjusted returns. Beyond risk assessment, awareness of equity shares plays a critical role in shaping investor decisions. This book delves into the concepts and theories that underpin awareness and risk perception among retail equity investors. It further sheds light on the awareness and risk perception levels of Indian retail equity investors and explores the impact these have on their investment choices.

Once an obscure niche of the investment world, private equity has grown into a juggernaut, with consequences for a wide range of industries as well as the financial markets. Private equity funds control companies that represent trillions of dollars in assets, millions of employees, and the well-being of thousands of institutional investors and their beneficiaries. Even as the ruthlessness of some funds has made private equity a poster child for the harms of unfettered capitalism, many aspects of the industry remain opaque, hidden from the normal bounds of accountability. The Myth of Private Equity is a hard-hitting and meticulous exposé from an insider’s viewpoint. Jeffrey C. Hooke—a former private equity executive and investment banker with deep knowledge of the industry—examines the negative effects of private equity and the ways in which it has avoided scrutiny. He unravels the exaggerations that the industry has spun to its customers and the business media, scrutinizing its claims of lucrative investment returns and financial wizardry and showing the stark realities that are concealed by the funds’ self-mythologizing and penchant for secrecy. Hooke details the flaws in private equity’s investment strategies, critically examines its day-to-day operations, and reveals the broad spectrum of its enablers. A bracing and essential read for both the financial profession and the broader public, this book pulls back the curtain on one of the most controversial areas of finance.
