(Reuters) – U.S. buyout firm Carlyle Group LP said its preliminary “carry fund” valuations fell 2 percent in the second quarter, underscoring the weak performance of the global markets.

The fall compares with the MSCI’s broadest measure of global stocks, MSCI All Country World Index, which declined 6 percent during the quarter.
The private equity firm, that went public in May, has seen its carry portfolio rise 9 percent over the last year.
Shares of the company closed at $23.24 on Monday on the Nasdaq.
