Equity funds and corporations

[Daniel Coleman]

1. Can a corporation be an Equity fund or is equity funds the action not the actual business itself?

2. Can a corporation own an private equity fund or firm(please correct me if I’m not saying it right or wording it right)?

Quote from @Daniel Coleman:

@Chris Seveney When equity fund, I'm talking a real estate equity where let's say I start a private corporation, I sell shares of that corporation, and then the corporation may start a Fund where I create the fund to be an LLC or LP itself, so the corporation is the GP and the other investors are LPs and we use that fund purchase, real estate, have you seen that happen? only company I can think of that do that is Blackstone

Lots of these out there. A REIT structure is one. The fund we run is setup this way where we are the GP, we are a C-corporation and issues shares through  a regulation A+ offering and investors buy shares. we are NOT publicly traded.
