Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is a Form 13F-HR submitted by Carlyle Group L.P. for the reporting period ended March 31, 2018. The report discloses equity holdings managed by the institutional investment manager and includes data for three other included managers: Carlyle Investment Management LLC, CIM Global, L.L.C., and Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C.
Key Financial Metrics
As a Form 13F filing, this document reports portfolio holdings rather than the operating financial performance (revenue, profit, cash flow) of the Carlyle Group itself. The following metrics are derived from the reported holdings:
- Total Reported Value: $2,428,288,000 (2,428,288 thousands).
- Number of Holdings Reported: 12 entries in the information table.
- Number of Included Managers: 3 additional managers besides the primary filer.
- Revenue, Profit, Margins, Debt, Liquidity: The filing text does not provide a clear value for these operating metrics as they are not required in a 13F-HR.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide a clear value for material changes versus the prior comparable period. This form reports the snapshot of holdings at the end of the quarter but does not explicitly detail the net change in value or position counts compared to the previous quarter within the provided text.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing text does not provide a clear value for guidance, outlook, management commentary, risks, contingencies, or unusual items. The document is a regulatory disclosure of holdings and includes standard legal disclaimers regarding the accuracy of the information.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the total aggregate value of reported holdings ($2.43 billion) against the firm's total Assets Under Management (AUM) to understand the scope of this specific report.
- Note that this report covers only the equity holdings of the listed managers and excludes other asset classes (e.g., private equity, credit, real estate) which are significant to Carlyle's business model.
- Confirm the specific 12 holdings listed in the full schedule to assess concentration risk, as the summary text only provides the count (12) and total value.
- Review the relationship with AlpInvest Partners B.V., which is noted as an indirectly wholly owned adviser but is excluded from Carlyle's investment decision-making in this context.
