NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG) today announced the closing of a $517 million Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) fund, the firm’s third new-issue CLO in the US this year. Carlyle Global Market Strategies CLO 2013-3 will invest in corporate leveraged loans and high yield bonds.Citibank arranged the transaction.
What would Carlyle buy in Europe, that would cost 517 million dollars. ?
517 mill USD would convert to £310 million sterling (at 60 pence per dollar.)
What would Carlyle buy in Euope that would cost £300 mill sterling. ??
Coincidentally,, Carlyle bought Addison Lee for £300 million. Does that mean Citibank actually own Addison Lee. Perhaps not.
Addison Lee's expansion plans require the Law Commission to repeal section 48 of the LGMPA 1976, which currently stops cross border hiring.
Has Baroness Kramer been brought in to speed the Law Comm up?
Addisson Lee are also awaitng a Court of Appeal decision. They want in on the Bus Lanes OR in the alternative, everyone out.
The judges in the Court of appeal and the Baroness, if asked if anything was afoot would, no doubt raise their hands into the air and say
"What ever are you suggesting."
