Auszug:
The Carlyle Web site lists United Defense as one of the holdings in the portfolio of Carlyle Partners II, the first Carlyle partnership in which CalPERS invested. In an SEC document filed in August, a Carlyle-related management firm reports that it sold 10,569,808 United Defense shares for $25 each on behalf of an entity that includes both Carlyle Partners II and Carlyle Partners III, also a recipient of CalPERS funds. According to SEC documents, at least two other Carlyle partnerships -- Carlyle International Partners II and Carlyle International Partners III -- were also part of that entity. The latter partnerships have an interesting provenance. They were formed in the Cayman Islands. Yes, the Cayman Islands favored by many who wish to keep their business affairs secret. The Cayman Islands known as havens for some firms (including the ones CalPERS board member Angelides has roundly criticized) that seek to limit the amounts they pay in U.S. taxes.
So let's do another round of restating here: CalPERS partnered up with the Carlyle Group (which has received criticism over its political connections to the current Bush administration) and some largely unnamed wealthy investors (who, it seems, find the Cayman Islands congenial business territory) and made money from the Iraq War and the prospect of a continuing defense buildup for the War on Terror.
Even with the recent resignation of Bush the elder from its ranks, the Carlyle Group is no ordinary company, and the size and breadth of its worldwide financial and political connections are not common. It is a firm that has invested widely in the defense sector, and those investments have been controversial. In Europe, Carlyle's defense investments in England, Germany, and Italy have sparked concerns about technology transfer and loss of national control of defense assets. In the United States, eyebrows have raised over the closeness of current Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Carlyle Chairman Emeritus Carlucci (college classmates and longtime friends) and the development of a new motorized artillery system for the Army. In Asia, there have been questions about whether Carlyle's investment in a South Korean bank influenced U.S. defense policy toward North Korea.
While complaining about being called secretive, Carlyle refuses to disclose many of its owners, and almost all information about investors in its partnerships. The firm's Web site puts it this way: "Carlyle's investors are public and private institutional investors and high net worth individuals. Carlyle does not disclose information about its investors."
Christopher Ullman, a spokesman for Carlyle, said most such equity firms are private and not required to disclose ownership information.
(In a side note, Ullman said former President Bush resigned from Carlyle because, at age 80, he "decided to ratchet back on his business activities. We very much enjoyed the relationship.")
As a private firm, the Carlyle Group has every right to keep most of its financial and ownership information private, to seek maximum profit allowed by law in any business sector, including defense, and to employ whomever it wishes, including public officials of any persuasion.
