- Number of Holdings Reported: 11
- Number of Included Managers: 3 (in addition to the primary filer)
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide comparative data for the prior period (December 31, 2018) or detail specific changes in holdings, purchase/sale activity, or valuation shifts. Therefore, material changes versus the prior comparable period cannot be determined from this document.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing contains no management commentary, forward-looking guidance, or outlook regarding the Carlyle Group's business strategy. It includes a standard SEC disclaimer stating that the Commission has not reviewed the information for accuracy or completeness. The filing notes that AlpInvest Partners B.V. is an indirectly wholly owned investment adviser, but Carlyle Group L.P. does not participate in its investment decision-making.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total portfolio value of approximately $2.08 billion against the firm's broader 10-Q or 10-K filings for context on total assets under management.
- Confirm the specific 11 equity positions held, as the summary text does not list the individual securities.
- Review the separate 13F filings for the three other included managers (Carlyle Investment Management LLC, CIM Global, L.L.C., and Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C.) to understand the full scope of reported assets.
- Note that this report excludes non-equity assets (e.g., private equity, real estate, credit) which constitute a significant portion of Carlyle's business.
