Carlyle lifts assets to record $474bn, inflows jump – earnings miss on weaker exits
Carlyle reported strong inflows and record assets under management in Q3, underscoring momentum in alternative investments despite a challenging high-rate environment. However, distributable earnings came in below expectations, pressured by weaker exit activity.
Carlyle Group posted a solid third-quarter performance, with assets under management rising 6% year-on-year to a record $474 billion and new inflows reaching $17 billion. Fee-related earnings came in at $312 million, slightly above analyst estimates.
Distributable earnings totaled $368 million, or $0.96 per share, missing the expected $1.01 as lower proceeds from asset sales weighed on results.
CEO Harvey Schwartz highlighted strong growth across insurance, secondaries platform AlpInvest, and wealth-channel inflows, saying the firm is on track to exceed its 2025 financial targets amid improving deal activity in the alternative-asset space.
