CAPTRUST Financial Advisors announced a minority growth investment from funds managed by global investment firm Carlyle. Carlyle will provide growth capital to the firm which will be used to pursue strategic inorganic growth opportunities. Neither GTCR nor any of CAPTRUST’s executive leadership teams will be selling secondary shares as part of the transaction. CAPTRUST’s valuation has increased to more than $3.7B, with its equity value increasing by more than $2B to more than $3B. Carlyle’s new growth equity will be used to further drive this M&A strategy. Carlyle and GTCR will be minority investors in CAPTRUST, both individually and collectively.
