The earliest founder of Carlyle Investment Company was Stephen Norris. When he was the tax director of Marriott's acquisition and merger company, he found that the company that acquired Alaska Eskimos could avoid taxes reasonably, which led him to devote himself to private equity investment. He is arbitrary and resourceful, knowing that he needs the help of people who are indomitable, extremely intelligent and have good political connections. David Rubinstein, the assistant of former President Carter, meets all his requirements. This is Carlisle's starting point. Carlyle was not successful in the early days, until Frank carlucci1989, former US Secretary of Defense, joined us. Doing the same thing, Carlyle hired the former Secretary of State, the White House budget director and so on, and in 1990, it promoted a major investment of Carlyle in the defense industry-winning a $20 billion arms contract from the US Army, and the Carlyle Group really took off.
In people's impression, Carlyle Group has always been called the "presidential club" in the investment field. Former US President George Bush is the chairman of Carlyle's advisory board, former British Prime Minister john major is the chairman of Carlyle's European branch, and former Philippine President Ramos and former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Arthur Levitt are its advisers. Although Carlyle's unique government background has brought many conveniences to its business, when Carlyle completed a series of early transactions, its largest fund was only $654.38 billion. In order to solve this problem, in the mid-1960s, Rubinstein invited george soros, the most famous financial investment company, to become a limited partner of Carlyle. At his call, it suddenly became surprisingly easy to raise funds.
At present, the Carlyle Group has 28 different types of funds, managing more than $24.8 billion in assets. Since the establishment of 1987, it has invested1300 million USD, which is mainly used for corporate mergers and acquisitions, real estate and venture capital in Asia, Europe and North America. It is reported that since the establishment of 1987, Carlyle Group has made huge profits from the global strategic investment of 125 billion US dollars, with an average annual return rate of 35% for investors.
