Private equity firm The Carlyle Group has raised $300 million (€220 million) by floating a specialist debt fund on Amsterdam’s Euronext exchange, having earlier postponed the float because of difficult market conditions.
Carlyle said in May that it was planning a Euronext float for Carlyle Capital Corporation, a Guernsey-headquartered debt fund, but later decided to first postpone and then reduce the size of the float because of difficulties in the US sub-prime mortgage sector.
