Who founded private equity?
The history of private equity can be traced back to 1901, when J.P. Morgan–the man, not the institution–purchased Carnegie Steel Co. from Andrew Carnegie and Henry Phipps for $480 million. Phipps took his share and created, in essence, a private equity fund called the Bessemer Trust.
