Carlyle Group Continues With Plan for IPO

June 15, 2011 12:35 PM EDT
CNBC reporting Carlyle Group is moving forward with its plans for an IPO.

The company will hold the first of two days of "bake-off" meetings in New York Wednesday. At the meetings, Wall Street bankers will pitch their underwriting services to interested investors.

Carlyle is considering selling between $750 million and $1.2 billion in stock as part of the new issue. Plans are subject to change during the months-long process of filing registration documents with the SEC.

Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) is a major competitor of the Carlyle Group with $70 billion in assets under management, about $30 billion less than Carlyle. Since the company became public and priced itself in March, shares have traded down around 12 percent, while Blackstone (NYSE: BX) and KKR Financial are up in double-dig percentages for the year.
