The Carlyle Group

This week, we were delighted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Carlyle in #Japan. Over three days, we hosted a series of events including our Tokyo Investor Conference to recognize this significant milestone for the firm. We brought together our investors, clients, portfolio company management, employees, and special guest speakers to share perspectives on the evolution of Japan’s growing private equity industry and the significant investment opportunities in the region today. Since opening our doors in Tokyo in 2000, we have had the privilege of partnering with exceptional businesses in Japan, focused on delivering long-term value and building deep relationships. We are grateful for the engagement, insights, and continued trust of our partners and investors as we celebrate this special milestone. 長年にわたりカーライルに信頼を寄せてくださり、この重要な節目をともに祝ってくださった投資家およびパートナーの皆さまに、心より感謝申し上げます。

Anssi Halonen, Head of Acquisitions for Carlyle’s Europe Realty (CER) platform, spoke exclusively to Green Street News to discuss the current #macroeconomic outlook, self-storage expansion and the platform’s activity on the continent. Over the last year, Carlyle has continued to be active across #Europe’s residential, self-storage and logistics sectors despite recent market volatility. In his interview with Green Street News, Halonen stated that the platform will continue with its investment approach of deploying capital granularly, seeking to acquire select assets with operating upside, while targeting sectors with more needs-based demand.

As Carlyle celebrates 25 years since the firm opened its office in #Tokyo next week, Takaomi Tomioka, Co-Head of the Carlyle Japan, joined Bloomberg News’ Shery Ahn, live in their studio, to discuss his insights on the evolution of the Japanese #PrivateEquity market. “The private equity market in Japan is undergoing significant transformation and we continue to see compelling opportunities for deployment. Given the target-rich nature of the Japanese market today, and opportunities around succession deals, carve-outs, and strategic take privates, we believe the Japanese dealmaking environment will continue to thrive.” Highlighting the firm’s significant milestone, Tomioka said: “When we opened Carlyle’s office in Japan in 2000, our vision was to build a franchise that could create value in Japanese companies, and deliver sustainable, long-term value for our clients. By leveraging our deep local insights and global platform, we remain well positioned to continue delivering value and strengthening the Japanese business landscape.” Watch the full interview here: http://spr.ly/6049NcYQ9
