When you invest in the stock market, you are investing public companies. A public company is one that has held an initial public offering (first sale of stock to the public) and whose shares can be bought, sold or traded on a stock exchange.
Carbon Equity focuses on private equity, which is an asset class focused on acquiring ownership stakes (equity) in privately held companies (i.e. not listed on a stock exchange). The investment horizon, cash flows and other investing dynamics are different within private equity compared to stock marketing investing.
