Co-investments

Co-investments are like sharing toys with your friends. When you and your friend really like the same toy, you both chip in some of your own money to buy it together. Then when you play with the toy, you both get to enjoy it because you both own it.

In grown-up world, big companies and investors can do the same thing with businesses. Sometimes, a big company may want to invest in a business, but they don't want to pay for the whole thing by themselves. So they ask other investors to chip in some of their money too. These other investors are called co-investors.

Just like sharing a toy, the big company and the co-investors own a part of the business together because they both put their money in. This means that they will both get to share in any profits or benefits that come from the business.

Co-investments can be a good way for companies and investors to work together and share the risks and rewards of investing in a business.
