[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 84381, member: 487"] So GP-led transactions are fairly standard in PE in that they are simply deals that are led by the investment professionals at the PE firm i.e. the general partners (GPs) who sit on the PE firm's investment committee and decide where they will invest the money they received from their clients or Limited Partners (more on them below). Re LP fund portfolios, these are the backbone of PE. LPs are limited partners who are the clients of the PE firm who invest the money into the PE fund and are usually companies such as sovereign wealth funds, pensions funds etc. The GPs then pool that money together and invest that money by purchasing various different assets such as established companies with the goal of then improving that company's performance so they can sell it on in usually a timeframe of 5-7 years for a profit. The fund will normally have a specific investment focus such as in a specific industry such as technology, or a sector such as health care or real estate, or even a region such as Africa or Asia. Hope that makes sense and good luck with your interview!
