Financial sponsor
A financial sponsor is a term commonly used to refer to private equity investment firms, particularly those private equity firms that engage in leveraged buyout or LBO transactions.

In addition to bringing capital to an investment, financial sponsors are expected to bring a combination of capital markets expertise, various important contacts, strategies for operational improvement and experience owning leveraged companies.[2] As the owners of the company, financial sponsors rarely manage a company directly and are most active in issues relating to the company's capital structure and balance sheet as well as strategic initiatives including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and management restructurings. The company's CEO and other senior management maintain responsibility for day-to-day operational issues.
