English term or phrase: FOR a small equity position

Context : 'If, like many of these royalty-based financing investors, the investor does include an equity part in the financing and thus takes a percentage of ownership for a small equity position, the investor could see some additional reward from a future sale of the company without taking any additional risk'.

I have translated the sentence as follows "Si, comme c'est le cas pour de nombreux investisseurs pratiquant le financement fondé sur les redevances, l'investisseur inclut une portion en actions dans le financement, prenant ainsi un pourcentage de participation EN CONTREPARTIE d'une participation minime ...."

but I am not at all sure this is correct because how can he take a percentage of the equity in exchange for a small part of the equity?

I feel confused about the meaning of this expression, and would really appreciate your help!

property se rapporte sans doute à des property rights (royalty based financing investors)
