NEW YORK (Reuters) – Investment firm Carlyle Group on Thursday said it will acquire $5.1 billion of credit assets from Stanfield Capital Partners, a New York-based fixed income money manager, the first of many such deals in a consolidating corner of the market.
Carlyle, one of the world’s largest private equity investors, agreed to purchase management contracts on $4.2 billion in collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, and $950 million in managed account assets.
The purchase will boost Carlyle’s assets under management to $18.1 billion and broaden the firm’s credit business.
Financial terms were not disclosed; the transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.
Mitch Petrick, Carlyle’s head of credit alternatives and a former top Morgan Stanley (MS.N) executive, in a statement said the deal will make Carlyle “the world’s largest structured credit managers and an industry consolidator.”
Petrick said Carlyle will seek to acquire more such credit assets.
