Carlyle and Its Employees and Advisors Commit $1 Billion to the Fund

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) today announced the final close of Carlyle Partners VI, a $13 billion fund that invests in U.S. corporate buyouts and strategic minority investments across six industries.

Allan Holt, Managing Director and Co-head of the U.S. Buyout Group, said, "We are grateful for the support of our fund investors, many of whom are repeat investors. Institutional and individual investors across the globe understand the value of having a proven buyout fund in their portfolio. We will take good care of their money as we work to invest wisely and create value."

Peter Clare, Managing Director and Co-head of the U.S. Buyout Group, said, "Our deep and experienced industry investment teams continue to identify attractive investment opportunities. Combining that industry knowledge with Carlyle's 27 Operating Executives and global network creates a powerful platform for value creation for our fund investors. Growth drives most of our value creation and we have built the capabilities necessary to find and accelerate real growth."

Notable investments in that fund include Axalta Coating Systems, formerly DuPont Performance Coatings; Beats Electronics LLC; Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.; and Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc.
