En anden fordel er at kapitalfondene rusker op i den gængse opfattelse af, hvordan man driver virksomhed. Når kapitalfondene er villige til at betale en høj overpris, så er det fordi, de tror, at de kan tjene deres investering ind igen og lidt til. De ser altså værdier i virksomhederne, som virksomhedsledelserne og analytikerne ikke selv ser, eller ikke selv finder mulige, når virksomheden er børsnoteret. Det tvinger andre børsnoterede virksomheder til at se på, om de nu er organiseret, drevet og ledet på den rigtige måde. For hvis de ikke gør det, så bliver de selv overtaget.
....men der er forskel på analytikeres og kapitalfondes investeringshorisont, og det afspejler sig i prisfastsættelsen. -Kapitalfonde har en investeringshorisont, der hedder tre til syv år, mens aktieanalytikere typisk vurderer kurspotentialet 12 mdr. frem i tiden. Derfor betyder det heller ikke noget på lang sigt for kapitalfondene, hvis en virksomhed underperformer to år i træk. Derimod vurderer aktieanalytikere det som et negativt signal.
What term would you use, and please shortly explain why.

With your additional context - particularly the final sentence - I would say that equity funds feels most likely. Venture capital is high risk and placed in newly-started ventures (thus the name) which may have no cash flow to speak of. Equity funds come in at a later stage and do also - as it says it the quote I put in above - invest in buyouts of other companies.

I believe this is the right term because it is about taking over other companies by purchasing them, and these funds will also make money available for investing in new companies.
