Service king is a good example of one
What percentage of the private equity industry's returns are attributable to one pe firm selling their assets to another pe firm? Just trading assets all day to make the numbers look good? I've never looked under the hood of a PE-owned company and said "wow, this is well run."

Don't know that business at all. Is it still founder-run?

I don’t know the percentage but it’s called “multiple expansion”

I had heard of “earnings arbitrage” but not this thanks.

Most open PE seems like a ponzi scheme. In the same vein, most companies that went public in the last couple of years are terrible. Skilled investors don't tend to run publicly funds for long. If they're good, they grow big fast and close off to outsiders.

I mean I don’t fully get that. They IPO them, sell to a strategic or to a fund. Your argument is the same for me selling you my shares of company XYZ
