limitedpartner
A limited partner is an investor in a business venture, typically a limited partnership or a private equity fund, who contributes capital but does not participate in the day-to-day management of the business. Their liability is generally limited to the amount of their investment. Limited partners are passive investors whose role is primarily to provide financial resources.
In a limited partnership structure, there are usually two types of partners: general partners and limited partners.
Limited partners often include institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, and wealthy individuals.
