PE Bonds are asset-backed securities, or bonds, backed by cash flows from private equity funds (“PE funds”). Like any other bond, an investor owns a debt instrument. An investor pays a principal amount at the start of the investment and typically receive semi-annual interests until maturity, when the principal is repaid.
