Key Financial Metrics
As a Form 13F filing, this document discloses equity holdings rather than the operating financial performance of the Carlyle Group itself. Key metrics from the filing include:
- Total Reported Value: $7,573,395,000 (7,573,395 thousands).
- Total Number of Holdings: 30 entries.
- Number of Included Managers: 2 (in addition to the primary filer).
- Revenue, Profit, Cash Flow, Margins, Debt, Liquidity: The filing text does not provide a clear value for these operating metrics as they are not required in a 13F report.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide a clear value for material changes versus the prior comparable period. Form 13F reports list current holdings at the end of the quarter but do not explicitly detail period-over-period changes in aggregate value or specific trade activity within the summary text provided.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing text does not provide a clear value for guidance, outlook, management commentary, risks, contingencies, or unusual items. This form is a regulatory disclosure of securities holdings and does not contain forward-looking statements or risk factors regarding the manager's operations.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the total value of reported holdings ($7.57 billion) against the firm's total assets under management (AUM) to understand the scope of this specific report.
- Note that this is a combination report; holdings for AlpInvest Partners B.V. are reported separately by that entity, though it is an indirectly wholly owned adviser.
- Confirm that the 30 reported entries represent the full scope of reportable equity securities for the included managers, as 13F filings exclude non-equity assets and certain exempt securities.
