Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Carlyle had a strong 2015 amid challenging markets, delivering a full-year distribution of $2.07 to Carlyle common unitholders. Despite our history of strong results and significant future growth opportunities, the equity market currently ascribes little value to our diversified investment platform. We are announcing a $200 million repurchase program as we see great value in Carlyle units.”
