Carlyle Group announced on September 4, 2025, that it has successfully raised $20 billion for a new fund dedicated to acquiring second-hand private equity stakes from investors. This substantial capital raise positions Carlyle to capitalize on assets that have accumulated during a period of subdued public listings and acquisition deals.

This fund will allow Carlyle to provide liquidity solutions to limited partners seeking to offload their private equity holdings. The ability to raise such a significant amount of capital underscores strong investor confidence in Carlyle's expertise and its strategic focus on the growing secondaries market.

The $20 billion fund significantly enhances Carlyle's investable capital and its overall assets under management. This initiative is a key component of Carlyle's strategy to navigate dynamic market conditions and generate returns by acquiring attractive private equity assets at potentially favorable valuations.
