Yes, by a lot. By definition a private equity group is a group focused on investing in troubled companies and other assets. Hedge funds are unregulated investment fund. But hedge funds are more open to small investors compared to the private equity investors that risk more money.

Hedge funds do not do take overs as frequent and use other techniques such as borrowing money buying stock and then selling them short.
