The Currency reports on search funds as "a hands-on twist on private equity"

The article, titled: Search Funds: A Hands-On Approach to Private Equity Investing in Ireland, explores the concept of search funds and how they provide a middle path for young and ambitious managers who don't want to be a middle manager at a big company but also don't want to take the risky path of founding a startup. Search funds are established by a manager alongside financial backers and look for small, profitable and promising businesses to buy. The article also discusses the patient work required to find the right business and the potential returns and benefits for sellers.
