Who Carlyle AlpInvest is.
- Historical Background
- AlpInvest was founded in 2000 as an initiative by Dutch pension funds ABP and PFZW to professionally manage their private equity investments. Initially, the firm was the exclusive manager of private equity allocations for its two founding pension funds.
- Source of Capital
- The firm's capital is sourced from a global base of more than 500 institutional investors. Historically, its capital base was anchored by two of the world's largest pension funds, Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP (ABP) and Stichting Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn (PFZW).
- Major Events
- In 2011, The Carlyle Group acquired AlpInvest Partners, integrating it as a core division within its global private equity operations.
- Allocation Strategy
- The firm's investment activities are concentrated on private equity. AlpInvest operates through three specialized teams: Primary Fund Investments, which commits to other private equity funds; Secondary Investments, which purchases existing private equity assets; and Co-investments, which involves direct investments in companies alongside other fund managers. The strategy encompasses a wide range of investment stages, including large and middle-market buyouts as well as growth capital, across diverse geographies and sectors.
