Carlyle Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Carlyle Group is a private investment firm which describes itself as "one of the world's largest global private equity investment firms" with more than "$16 billion of equity capital". They employ more than 500 people in 12 countries.
In 2003, Carlyle managed 21 individual funds in five investment disciplines: buyout, venture, real estate, turnaround, and high yield. The industries the group currently specializes in are: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer & Industrial, Energy & Power, Healthcare, Opportunistic Real Estate, Technology & Business Services, Telecom & Media, and Transportation.
The Group's aerospace and defense investments are a source of criticism since the Group is alleged to have connections to the Middle East, and detractors state that defense industries cannot remain profitable unless wars and threats of war continue to occur. However, its investments are focused on Asia, Europe, and North America and defense investments represent only about 7% of the group's portfolio.
Critics of The Carlyle Group also frequently note its political connections. The company is headquartered in Washington, DC. Notable people affiliated with the Carlyle Group include:
George Soros is also a notable client of the Group.
The current chairman of The Carlyle Group is Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., former CEO and chairman of the IBM Corporation.
The Saudi Arabia relatives of Osama bin Laden (not Osama bin Laden himself) were also minor investors in the Carlyle Group until October 2001 when the family sold its $2.02 million investment back to the firm in light of public controversy surrounding the family after the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack.
