Bridger Pennington explains the core difference: private equity buys and sells private companies like Nine West and Staples through Sycamore Partners, while hedge funds trade public securities including stocks, bonds, options, crypto, and forex.

This has created some of the wealthiest people on planet Earth. Private equity versus hedge funds. Private equity buys and sells private companies. So for example, Sycamore Partners owns Nine West Shoes, Aeropostale, and Staples. On the other hand, hedge funds buy public securities. They'll buy stocks, bonds, options, crypto, forex. So again, both are pools of capital. One buys privately held securities, the other buys publicly held securities. Comment your favorite private equity hedge funds below.
