The lower mid-market Finnish buyout firm has added EQT’s Ville Koskenvuo to its team in Helsinki.

The buyout firm’s co-CEO David Rubenstein said during the Q3 earnings conference call on Tuesday that Carlyle is entering a four-year period to launch the next generation of its funds.

The mid-market buyout firm raced past its $750m target, doubling in size from Fund II.

The firm added UBS’s former co-head of secondaries earlier this month.

Disruptive Capital Finance, the family office chaired by Edi Truell, plans to close an £80m ‘top-up’ fund next month and start raising fresh capital.

KKR CFO Bill Janetschek said the latest fund, focusing on buyouts and growth investments in the Americas, will begin deploying capital in the first half of next year.

The Danish house has raised 80% of its DKr1.9bn target and is on track to hold a second close before year-end.

Details on the firm’s $10bn Fund VI and its $875m investment from Dyal Capital Partners.

The lower mid-market firm launched the fund earlier this year targeting $200m to invest in entrepreneur and family-owned business in five core sectors.

Launched two years ago, Carlyle Global Partners highlights fund managers’ desire to pursue investments requiring longer hold periods than traditional 10-year funds may allow.
