 US The Carlyle Group returned $5.3bn to investors in 2004, marking 'Carlyle's best year ever', according to Carlyle's co-founder and managing director, William E Conway.
The firm also announced in a report that it invested $2.7bn in buy-outs, venture, real estate and leveraged finance and raised $7.8bn during 2004. In comparison, the 2003 figures showed that Carlyle returned $2.3bn, invested $2.6bn, and raised $2bn.
'We both invested more money than ever before and returned more money to our investors through 71 exits and partial exits. We have been extremely active in all of our asset classes and geographic regions,' Conway continued.
Carlyle closed two funds in 2004: Carlyle/Riverstone Global Energy and Power Fund II, $1.1bn, and Carlyle High Yield Partners VI, $400m. The firm also raised money for its latest fund, Carlyle Partners IV, which held a first close early in January with commitments of around $5bn. The fund, with a target of 6.5bn is expected to close shortly.
