History
[edit]Template:History of private equity and venture capital
Founding and early history
[edit]Carlyle was founded in 1987 as a boutique investment bank by five partners with backgrounds in finance and government: William E. Conway Jr., Stephen L. Norris, David Rubenstein, Daniel A. D'Aniello and Greg Rosenbaum.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The founding partners named the firm after the Carlyle Hotel in New York City (named for Thomas Carlyle)<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> where Norris and Rubenstein had planned the new investment business.<ref name="goingbeyond">Template:Cite news</ref> Rubenstein, a Washington-based lawyer, had worked in the Carter Administration.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Norris and D'Aneillo had worked together at Marriott Corporation;<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Conway was a finance executive at MCI Communications. Rosenbaum left in the first year<ref name="chichi">Template:Cite news</ref> and Norris departed in 1995.<ref name="goingbeyond" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Rubenstein, Conway and D'Aneillo remain active in the business. Carlyle was founded with $5 million of financial backing from T. Rowe Price, Alex. Brown & Sons, First Interstate Equities, and the Richard King Mellon family.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="littleknowncarlyle">Template:Cite news</ref>
In the late 1980s, Carlyle raised capital deal-by-deal to pursue leveraged buyout investments, including a failed takeover battle for Chi-Chi's.<ref name="chichi" /><ref name="littleknowncarlyle" /> The firm raised its first dedicated buyout fund with $100 million of investor commitments in 1990. In its early years, Carlyle also advised in transactions including, in 1991, a $500 million investment in Citigroup by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a member of the Saudi royal family.<ref name="littleknowncarlyle" />
Carlyle developed a reputation for acquiring businesses related to the defense industry. In 1992, Carlyle completed the acquisition of the Electronics division of General Dynamics Corporation, renamed GDE Systems, a producer of military electronics systems.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle would sell the business to Tracor in October 1994.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle acquired Magnavox Electronic Systems, the military communications and electronic-warfare systems segment of Magnavox, from Philips Electronics in 1993.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle sold Magnavox for about $370 million to Hughes Aircraft Company in 1995. Carlyle also invested in Vought Aircraft through a partnership with Northrop Grumman.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle's most notable defense industry investment came in October 1997 with its acquisition of United Defense Industries. The $850 million acquisition of United Defense represented Carlyle's largest investment to that point.<ref name="uniteddef">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle completed an IPO of United Defense on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2001, then sold the rest of the stock in April 2004.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In more recent years, Carlyle has invested less in the defense industry.<ref name="noeffect" />
Carlyle in the early 2000s
[edit]Carlyle's 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that Shafiq bin Laden, a member of the Bin Laden family, had been the "guest of honor", and that they were investors in Carlyle-managed funds.<ref name="TheBookOnBush" /><ref name="glassman" /><ref name="TheEconomist" /><ref name="TheGuardian" /><ref name="Nsnbc" /> Later reports confirmed that the Bin Laden family had invested $2 million into Carlyle's $1.3 billion Carlyle Partners II Fund in 1995, making the family relatively small investors with the firm. However, their overall investment might have been considerably larger, with the $2 million committed in 1995 only being an initial contribution that grew over time.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> These connections would later be profiled in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. The Bin Laden family liquidated its holdings in Carlyle's funds in October 2001, just after the September 11 attacks, when the connection of their family name to the Carlyle Group's name became impolitic.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Buyouts declined after the collapse of the dot-com bubble in 2000 and 2001. But after the two-stage buyout of Dex Media at the end of 2002 and 2003, large multibillion-dollar U.S. buyouts could once again obtain high-yield debt financing and larger transactions could be completed. Carlyle, together with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, led a $7.5 billion buyout of QwestDex,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> the third-largest corporate buyout since 1989.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> QwestDex's purchase occurred in two stages: a $2.75 billion acquisition of assets known as Dex Media East in November 2002 and a $4.30 billion acquisition of assets known as Dex Media West in 2003.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> R. H. Donnelley Corporation acquired Dex Media in 2006.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Lou Gerstner, former chairman and CEO of IBM and Nabisco, replaced Frank Carlucci as chairman of Carlyle in January 2003.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="gerstner2">Template:Cite news</ref> Gerstner would serve in that position through October 2008.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The hiring of Gerstner was intended to reduce the perception of Carlyle as a politically dominated firm.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At the time, Carlyle, which had been founded 15 years earlier, had accumulated $13.9 billion of assets under management and had generated annualized returns for investors of 36%.<ref name="gerstner2" />
Carlyle also announced the $1.6 billion acquisition of Hawaiian Telcom from Verizon in May 2004.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Carlyle's investment was immediately challenged when Hawaii regulators delayed the closing of the buyout. The company also suffered billing and customer-service issues as it had to recreate its back-office systems. Hawaiian Telcom ultimately filed for bankruptcy in December 2008, costing Carlyle the $425 million it had invested in the company.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
As the activity of the large private equity firms increased in the mid-2000s, Carlyle kept pace with such competitors as KKR, Blackstone Group, and TPG Capital. In 2005, Carlyle, together with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and Merrill Lynch completed the $15.0 billion leveraged buyout of The Hertz Corporation, the largest car rental agency from Ford.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The following year, in August 2006, Carlyle and its Riverstone Holdings affiliate partnered with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners in the $27.5 billion (including assumed debt) acquisition of Kinder Morgan, one of the largest pipeline operators in the US.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The buyout was backed by Richard Kinder, the company's co-founder and a former president of Enron.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In September 2006, Carlyle led a consortium, comprising Blackstone Group, Permira and TPG Capital, in the $17.6 billion takeover of Freescale Semiconductor. At the time of its announcement, Freescale would be the largest leveraged buyout of a technology company ever, surpassing the 2005 buyout of SunGard. The buyers were forced to pay an extra $800 million because KKR made a last-minute bid as the original deal was about to be signed. Shortly after the deal closed in late 2006, cell phone sales at Motorola Corp., Freescale's former corporate parent and a major customer, began dropping sharply. In addition, in the recession of 2008–2009, Freescale's chip sales to automakers fell off, and the company came under great financial strain.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Earlier that year, in January 2006, Carlyle together with Blackstone Group, AlpInvest Partners, Hellman & Friedman, KKR and Thomas H. Lee Partners acquired Nielsen Company, the global information and media company formerly known as VNU in an $8.9 billion buyout.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite press release</ref> Also in 2006, Carlyle acquired Oriental Trading Company which ultimately declared bankruptcy in August 2010<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> as well as Forba Dental Management, the owner of Small Smiles Dental Centers, the largest US chain of dental clinics for children.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
2011-2017
[edit]In 2011, Carlyle acquired AlpInvest Partners in a joint venture with the firm's management, entering into a new line of business managing fund of funds, secondary investments and co-investments. In 2013, Carlyle acquired the remaining ownership stake in AlpInvest after which that business became a wholly-owned subsidiary.<ref>Carlyle Buys Remaining 40% of AlpInvest as It Diversifies.

Ownership changes
[edit]For the first 25 years of its existence, Carlyle operated as a private partnership controlled by its investment partners. In 2001, the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), which had been an investor in Carlyle managed funds since 1996, acquired a 5.5% holding in Carlyle's management company for $175 million.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The investment was valued at about $1 billion by 2007 at the height of the 2000s buyout boom.<ref name="Heath2007">Template:Cite web</ref>

In February 2008, California legislators targeted Carlyle and Mubadala, proposing a bill that would have barred CalPERS from investing money "with private-equity firms that are partly owned by countries with poor records on human rights." The bill, which was intended to draw attention to the connection between Carlyle and Mubadala Development, was later withdrawn.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In May 2012, Carlyle completed an initial public offering of the company, listing under the symbol CG on the NASDAQ.

AlpInvest Partners is a global private equity asset manager with over $85 billion of assets under management as of December 31, 2024. The firm invests on behalf of more than 500 institutional investors from North America, Asia, Europe, South America and Africa.
AlpInvest operates through three core investment teams:
AlpInvest's investments span a broad spectrum of private market strategies including: large buyout, middle-market buyout, private credit, venture capital, growth capital, mezzanine, distressed and energy investments, including sustainable energy investments.
As of the end of 2024, the firm had invested in more than 800 private equity funds managed by more than 350 private equity firms. According to the PEI 300, AlpInvest ranked among the 50 largest private equity firms globally.<ref>Private Equity International - PEI 300</ref>

Metropolitan was sold in 2021 to BentallGreenOak.
Subsidiaries and joint-ventures
[edit]Carlyle has been actively expanding its investment activities and assets under management through a series of acquisitions and joint-ventures.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Carlyle Capital Corporation
[edit]In March 2008, Carlyle Capital Corporation – established in August 2006<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> for the purpose of making investments in U.S. mortgage-backed securities – defaulted on about $16.6 billion of debt as the global credit crunch brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis worsened for leveraged investors. The Guernsey-based affiliate of Carlyle was very heavily leveraged, up to 32 times by some accounts, and it expected its creditors to seize its remaining assets.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Tremors in the mortgage markets induced several of Carlyle's 13 lenders to make margin calls or to declare Carlyle in default on its loans.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In response to the forced liquidation of mortgage-backed assets caused by the Carlyle margin calls and other similar developments in credit markets, on March 11, 2008, the Federal Reserve gave Wall Street's primary dealers the right to post mortgaged-back securities as collateral for loans of up to $200 billion in higher-grade, U.S. government-backed securities.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On March 12, 2008, BBC News Online reported that "instead of underpinning the mortgage-backed securities market, it seems to have had the opposite effect, giving lenders an opportunity to dump the risky asset" and that Carlyle Capital Corp. "will collapse if, as expected, its lenders seize its remaining assets."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On March 16, 2008, Carlyle Capital announced that its Class A Shareholders had voted unanimously in favor of the Corporation filing a petition under Part XVI, Sec. 96, of the Companies Law (1994) of Guernsey<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> for a "compulsory winding up proceeding" to permit all its remaining assets to be liquidated by a court-appointed liquidator.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The losses to the Carlyle Group due to the collapse of Carlyle Capital are reported to be "minimal from a financial standpoint".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In September 2017, the court ruled that Carlyle had no liability in the lawsuit.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In documentaries
[edit]Carlyle has been profiled in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and William Karel's The World According to Bush.
In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Moore focused on Carlyle's connections with George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker, both of whom had at times served as advisers to the firm. The movie quotes author Dan Briody, who claimed that the Carlyle Group "gained" from the September 11 attacks because it owned military contractor United Defense.<ref name=noeffect>Template:Cite news</ref> A Carlyle spokesman noted in 2003 that its 7% interest in defense industries was far less than several other private equity firms.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In The World According to Bush, William Karel interviewed Frank Carlucci to discuss the presence of Shafiq bin Laden, Osama bin Laden's estranged brother, at Carlyle's annual investor conference while the September 11 attacks were occurring.<ref name=glassman /><ref name=TheEconomist /><ref name=TheGuardian />
