Carlyle Group announced that it will acquire a majority stake in MAI Capital Management, a registered investment adviser that manages roughly $73 billion in assets. The transaction values MAI at more than $2.8 billion and is expected to close later in 2026.
The deal expands Carlyle’s presence in the wealth‑management advisory space, complementing its existing private‑equity, credit and secondaries platforms. It aligns with Carlyle’s broader strategy of expanding into asset and wealth management, positioning the firm to capture growth in institutional advisory services.
The wealth‑management industry, particularly for institutional advisory, is a growing area. By adding MAI’s substantial client base, Carlyle gains a stronger foothold in a competitive market where larger firms are consolidating to broaden their service offerings. The acquisition is expected to enhance Carlyle’s integrated suite of financial services and support its long‑term growth objectives.
