The Carlyle Group

Private Partnership
Founded 1987

Carlyle specializes in the following industries: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer & Retail, Energy & Power, Healthcare, Industrial, Real Estate, Technology & Business Services, Telecommunications & Media, and Transportation. The Carlyle Group's investments are focused on East Asia, Europe and North America.
...
Critics of the Carlyle Group frequently note its connections to various political figures. Some of the sectors and companies in which it invests are highly sensitive to political activity, indeed, its actions may be viewed as a form of political arbitrage. This may create conflicts of interest when political decision makers have their own personal wealth <1> linked to such investments. Unlike most private equity firms which are predominantly located in New York, Boston or around San Francisco, Carlyle is the only large private equity firm located in Washington, D.C. Corporate headquarters are on Pennsylvania Avenue.
