The Carlyle Group has raised more than $130 million for an investment fund focused south of the U.S. border.
The D.C.-based private equity firm says its new fund, Carlyle Mexico Partners, has raised $134 million to commit to companies primarily in Carlyle's seven areas of expertise, such as the aerospace, defense, energy, health care, technology, telecommunications and media.
Carlyle Mexico Partners currently has five investment professionals based in Mexico City.
"As we've seen in markets around the globe, Mexico presents an excellent opportunity to combine private equity investments with quality local businesses to create first-class global competitors," says David Rubenstein, a co-founder of Carlyle, in a statement.
Carlyle, which invests in buyouts, venture and growth capital, real estate and leveraged finance, has $54.5 billion under management.
