When building out our Private Credit offering, we had three main goals to ensure clients had a premier Private Credit investing experience:
Partner with a firm with a robust track record investing in Private Credit,
Provide a highly diversified, actively managed private credit product,
Offer quarterly liquidity with low minimums.
Partner: The Carlyle Group, founded in 1987, has been managing private capital for some of the world’s largest institutions including endowments, state retirement plans, sovereign wealth funds, and more. Carlyle has over 200 credit professionals in 18 countries, and CTAC has generated a 7%+ annualized distribution rate since its inception as of 9/30/2022.
Diversification and active management: The team at Carlyle takes an active approach when managing CTAC and tactically shifts allocation to different credit strategies based on the current market environment. Carlyle has exposure to six private credit types:
Direct Lending: Senior loans to small and medium-sized companies.
Opportunistic Credit: Opportunities that arise due to market dislocation that often target higher returns.
Liquid Credit: More traditional bonds and treasuries that are common in the classic stock/bond portfolio.
Real Assets Credit: Investments across aviation, infrastructure like bridges or cell towers, and other real assets.
Special Situations: Debt investments in operationally sound but financially distressed companies.
Structured Credit: Highly structured debt financings.
Quarterly liquidity and lower minimums: Many closed-end funds have long lockup periods of 5-10+ years, and for some people, life happens and you just need a bit of liquidity. We’re happy to be able to provide liquidity on a quarterly basis. We're delighted that Carlyle is able to provide a liquidity offering on a quarterly basis. Also, our minimum is $2,500 vs. many institutional Real Estate funds that have six-figure minimums.
