Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is a Form 13F-HR submitted by Carlyle Group Inc. for the reporting period ended December 31, 2021. The report was filed on February 11, 2022, and signed by Jeffrey W. Ferguson, General Counsel. It is a combination report that includes holdings for Carlyle Group Inc. and three other included managers: Carlyle Investment Management LLC, CIM Global, L.L.C., and Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. An explanatory note clarifies that while AlpInvest Partners B.V. is an indirectly wholly owned adviser, Carlyle Group Inc. does not participate in its investment decision-making.
Key Financial Metrics
As a Form 13F filing, this document reports equity holdings rather than the company's own operating financials (revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt). The following metrics are derived from the reported portfolio:
- Total Reported Value: $9,622,870,000 (9,622,870 thousands).
- Number of Holdings Reported: 9 entries in the Information Table.
- Number of Included Managers: 3 (excluding the primary filer).
Note: The filing text does not provide values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for Carlyle Group Inc. itself, as this form is restricted to reporting investment holdings.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide comparative data for the prior period (e.g., September 30, 2021) to calculate material changes in holdings or value. Consequently, no analysis of changes versus the prior comparable period can be derived from this document.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing contains no management commentary, forward-looking guidance, or outlook. It includes a standard SEC disclaimer stating that the Commission has not reviewed the information for accuracy or completeness. The only specific risk or contingency noted is the structural relationship with AlpInvest Partners B.V., where the filer explicitly disclaims participation in investment decision-making.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total portfolio value of $9.62 billion against the company's broader 10-Q or 10-K filings to understand the proportion of assets managed versus owned.
- Confirm the specific 9 holdings listed in the Information Table to assess concentration risk.
- Review the separate 13F filings for the three 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.
- Check the company's official earnings releases for actual revenue, profit, and liquidity metrics, as they are absent from this 13F report.
