Investment firm Carlyle has announced the launch of a semi-liquid European Private Credit strategy, offering individuals a single entry point to the firm’s Global Credit platform.
The platform leverages its size, capabilities and integrated approach to tailor solutions across the capital structure for borrowers. The new strategy grants access to various European private credit strategies, aiming to generate income with a focus on downside protection by investing directly in deals by the Global Credit platform.

The firm shared that the strategy is designed to generate income by tactically allocating assets to a wide range of credit strategies where Carlyle has proven investment expertise: direct lending, opportunistic credit and real assets credit.
The launch of the European Private Credit strategy builds on the momentum of the Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund which aims to produce current income and provide individual investors with access to the private credit markets focused on North America.
Unlocking access to private markets
Shane Clifford, head of Carlyle wealth strategy, said: “The launch represents a milestone in Carlyle’s drive to provide individuals access to private markets, particularly in Europe. It offers flexibility and access to investment opportunities historically only available to large institutional investors, as Carlyle broadens its fund suite for the private wealth channel.”
