| Since the opening of the China gem, the investment and financing mechanisms are more concerned about high growth of listed companies. The high growth of companies not only impacts the company’s growth, but also determines the investment return of the various investment and financing mechanisms. Among these mechanisms, Private Equity is one of the most benefit mechanisms in this kind of environment. Private equity investment is an equity investment, and it not only provides funds for the enterprise, but also obtains return by providing value-added services. Therefore, in order to study the influence factors of the private equity investment return, we will give the answer from the perspective of enterprise growth.After the founding of the gem, the average rate of return was10.34and13.30in2009and2010. But the return rate was reduced to7.94in2011, and the third quarter of2012was only2.73. But after careful analysis, in the same capital market environment, we find the highest return and the lowest return have an enormous range, respectively is24.04%and-0.15%. Apparently, the enterprise’s growth such as profitability, innovation ability, debt-paying ability, operation ability is one of the important factors those impact investment return.The content and structure of this paper are as follows:The first chapter is introduction. In the introduction, based on this phenomenon of the enormous range between the highest return and the lowest return, we raise the research questions of this paper, and then elaborate the research background of this paper, the purpose and significance of this study, research methods, frame structure and innovations.The second chapter is the theoretical basis. In this chapter, the concepts related to the growth of the growth of enterprises, private equity investment are defined firstly. Secondly, the PE investment theory is described.
