Abstract

The exit of private equity investment is a key part of the investment process, which not only affects the realization of investment returns, but also reflects the maturity and activeness of the private equity market. With the development and innovation of the financial market, the exit path of private equity is gradually showing a diversified trend. This paper aims to explore the diversification of private equity exit paths, including initial public offering (IPO), merger and acquisition, equity transfer, repurchase and S-fund transactions, and analyze their characteristics, applicable conditions, advantages and disadvantages, and their impact on the private equity market. The exit path of private equity funds should be comprehensively considered according to many factors such as market environment, enterprise development stage and fund investment strategy, so as to maximize investment returns and minimize risks. Under the background of the increasingly mature and complex capital market, the exploration of diversified exit paths is of great significance for the sustainable development of private equity funds.
