Tariff-Induced Volatile Equity and Credit Markets Will Overshadow Carlyle Group's Near-Term Results

The Carlyle Group has built a solid position in the alternative-asset management industry. It relies on its reputation, broad product portfolio, investment performance history, and cadre of dedicated professionals to not only raise capital but maintain its standing as a go-to firm for institutional and high-net-worth investors looking for exposure to alternative assets. With $453 billion in total assets under management, or AUM, including $314 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of March 2025, Carlyle is one of the world's largest alternative-asset managers.
