About Carlyle Group Inc.

Carlyle Group Inc. is a leading global alternative asset manager listed in the United States on the NASDAQ market under the ticker CG. The firm was founded in 1987 in Washington, D.C., and has grown into one of the most diversified private-markets investment platforms in the world. Its headquarters are tied to Washington, D.C., and its operating footprint spans multiple regions across the globe. For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, Carlyle offers a direct way to gain exposure to alternative assets, a segment that is typically less correlated with public equity markets and driven by long-duration capital. ([carlyle.com](https://www.carlyle.com/about-us?utm_source=openai)) Carlyle’s business model is centered on several core investment lines organized across three major business segments. The group invests through private equity, private credit, and strategies tied to real assets and other specialized investment vehicles. Its franchise is built on sourcing opportunities in private markets, leveraging deep sector expertise, long-standing corporate relationships, and a global origination network. This diversified structure helps balance fee-based income, performance-related fees, and investment income, which is an important advantage in periods of market uncertainty. ([carlyle.com](https://www.carlyle.com/about-us?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Carlyle ranks among the major global private-markets firms and competes with other large international platforms in buyouts, credit, and related alternative strategies. Scale is a key differentiator: the company says it manages about $475 billion of assets and employs more than 2,500 professionals across 28 offices on 4 continents. That breadth supports global fundraising, broader deal sourcing, and access to institutional capital in North America, Europe, and Asia. ([carlyle.com](https://www.carlyle.com/about-us?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments have been supportive of the investment case. In February 2026, Carlyle reported record full-year 2025 results and highlighted strong fundraising and record Fee Related Earnings. At its 2026 Shareholder Update, the company disclosed three-year financial objectives through 2028, including higher inflows and distributable earnings per share, and announced a new $2 billion share repurchase authorization. Taken together, these updates suggest a stronger focus on earnings durability, capital returns, and improved operating leverage. For investors in Europe, Carlyle is best viewed as a large-cap, globally diversified alternative asset manager whose performance depends on fundraising momentum, asset monetization, and disciplined capital allocation.
