The Carlyle Edge

How Carlyle Creates Value

Value creation is at the core of our existence. We invest in assets, work to make them better and seek to sell them for a profit. Carlyle uses its One Carlyle global network, deep industry knowledge, Executive Operations Group and portfolio intelligence to create and execute a customized value creation plan for each of our corporate private equity and real asset investments. Our success helps investors achieve their goals, such as state pension funds working to secure the retirements of millions of public employees.
