A leveraged buyout, or highly leveraged transaction, occurs when an investor finances most or all of the purchase price in order to take a controlling interest in the property. This is often used by the super wealthy to purchase big-ticket items, such as major, high-profile sports teams. It also is used by corporations to purchase controlling interest in other corporations, or by members of a management team to buy controlling interest in the company they work for (known as a management buyout). In many cases, the assets of the company or entity being purchased are used as collateral for the bonds or loans being taken out for the purchase.
