Question: How do I find info on joint ventures?
Answer
A Joint Venture "JV" is a business arrangement in which two or more parties form a strategic alliance for the purpose of accomplishing a specific goal. Information regarding a Joint Venture is not always public. Company press releases or filings with the SEC may include a description and or an agreement for JVs involving a public company. It is useful to search the SEC filings of both companies since a JV may or may not be considered a material event and therefore not disclosed.
