Description: CG Carlyle December 19, 2025

The Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CG) is a global investment firm that operates across four primary platforms – Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets, Global Market Strategies, and Solutions – deploying capital through both direct investments and fund-of-fund structures. Its direct-investment mandate spans a wide array of transaction types, including management-led leveraged buyouts, strategic minority stakes, structured credit, distressed assets, and venture-stage financings, targeting sectors ranging from industrial manufacturing and agribusiness to fintech, aerospace, and healthcare.

As of FY 2023, Carlyle reported approximately $426 billion in assets under management (AUM), reflecting a 12 % YoY increase driven largely by strong fundraising in its Real Assets and Private Equity segments. The firm’s revenue mix is roughly 55 % fee-based (management and performance fees) and 45 % investment income, with net income margins hovering around 15 % after adjusting for one-time gains. Key macro drivers for Carlyle’s pipeline include the current low-interest-rate environment that supports leveraged buyouts, heightened corporate-level cash generation fueling divestitures, and growing institutional demand for ESG-aligned infrastructure assets, especially in renewable energy and logistics.

For a deeper, data-rich view of Carlyle’s valuation dynamics and peer comparisons, you may find it worthwhile to explore the analytics on ValueRay.
