Includes Nearly 90 New and Existing Investors

New York, Amsterdam and Hong Kong – AlpInvest Partners, The Carlyle Group’s dedicated primary fund, co-investment, and secondary solutions platform, has raised $6.5 billion* for AlpInvest Secondaries Program VI (ASP VI). The program consists of commitments of $3.3 billion to a commingled vehicle, AlpInvest Secondaries Fund VI (ASF VI), and $3.2 billion* in funds from investors in Separately Managed Accounts.* AlpInvest’s sixth secondaries program of $6.5 billion exceeds its $6.0 billion target.

Wouter Moerel, Head of Secondaries for AlpInvest, commented: “With this new pool of capital to invest, we will pursue attractive investment opportunities within the private equity secondary market, at a moment where we believe increased global uncertainties create new opportunities. We have also achieved our goal of significantly diversifying our investor base by welcoming more than 80 new investors to the program, further positioning us for future success. Our investors’ support during this fundraise validates the strength of our team, investment strategy and breadth of the AlpInvest and Carlyle platforms.”

ASP VI is a dedicated secondaries investment program that will seek to acquire positions in existing private equity and energy funds in the secondaries market through both the acquisition of fund interests and sponsor-centered investments. Approximately 90 new and existing investors committed capital to ASP VI, including sovereign wealth funds, public pension funds, corporate pension funds, financial institutions, asset managers, foundations, and family offices that originate from 34 countries spanning North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.
