US Equity Provides Clarity During Struggling Economy

I have been an attorney for over 30 years and an author for nearly 25. In my career I have worked with a lot of professionals; attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, etc. Over the last 18 months, these professionals have truly been tested - tested by the economy and by their clients. I have seen first hand the effects a recession can have on professionals in these fields. However, I have yet to see a firm rise to the occasion quite like US Equity has done.

US Equity is a private equity firm based out of Columbus, Ohio with offices nationwide. They specialize in private placement investments in the areas of energy, telecommunication, and real estate. US Equity boasts many of the brightest investment minds in the industry.

Why Private Equity?

Many investors are simply unaware of what private equity is. Private Equity is where the well-connected, wealthy, educated investors put their money. Many economists view the private equity market as they viewed the stock market in the 1950's - a vast opportunity where fortunes will be made. Truly the private equity market is today's lucrative venue to make money - even during recessions in the stock market.

What is Private Equity?

What private equity firms like US Equity do, is allow investors like you and I to invest through private placements into companies that are directly run by the private equity firm. Private Equity firms buy companies that have very strong potential to be great, in order to run the company and ensure it reaches it's potential. This method of investing differs dramatically from simply buying stock in a company. When you purchase stock in an underlying company, you are hoping that the company performs the way you want it to. However, the executives of these companies rarely have any significant amount of their own finances riding on their companies success. Private Equity firms have a vested interest in the companies they acquire. Mainly because they purchase these companies with their own funds - thus being fully committed to its success. This is a fundamental difference between traditional means of investing and more sophisticated, current methods such as private equity.

US Equity has stood above the rest as a company that has demonstrated their ability to make money regardless of what is happening in the economy. For example, their client's averaged over 35% in 2008 when your average American investor lost nearly 30% during that same period. "US Equity strives to bring Wall Street quality deals to Main Street. There is plenty of money to be made no matter what the stock market is doing. We have a proven talent for finding these opportunities and then capitalizing on them. We make it our mission to bring these lucrative deals to our clients so that they may share in the fruits of our labor" says Luke Westerman, Senior Partner with US Equity.

I have personally invested AND profited in several deals US Equity has brought to me. If more people simply understood that these opportunities exist, and more importantly, are available to them, they would feel encouraged, as I do.

The main thing to take away from this article is to be confident and know that there are conservative ways every investor can be profitable regardless of the economy. I encourage readers to consider the private equity market as a viable way to recoup the recent significant losses to their portfolios. I will go a step further and specifically recommend US Equity and the investments they provide. Their experts go to great lengths to find profitable opportunities and make them available to their clients.
