magánkézben

Magánkézben is a Hungarian term that translates to "privately held" or "privately owned" in English. It refers to a company or asset that is not publicly traded on a stock exchange. This means that the ownership is concentrated among a small group of individuals, families, or private equity firms, rather than being distributed among a large number of shareholders.

Companies that are magánkézben are not subject to the same rigorous disclosure requirements as publicly traded companies. This can offer advantages such as greater flexibility in decision-making and the ability to focus on long-term strategies without the pressure of quarterly earnings reports. However, it can also mean less transparency for outsiders and potentially limited access to capital compared to public markets.

The term can apply to various entities, including small businesses, large corporations, and even personal assets like real estate. When an asset is described as magánkézben, it signifies that it is owned and controlled by private individuals or entities, distinct from government or public ownership. The valuation and management of magánkézben entities can differ significantly from their publicly traded counterparts.
