Three of The Carlyle Group's Chinese affiliates went public in Hong Kong and New York. Carlyle's press release stated proceeds totaled $780 million. The affiliates are:
China Forestry Holdings Co., Ltd.
Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd.
Concord Medical Services Holdings Ltd.
China Pacific Insurance is next up, expecting $3.8 billion in proceeds. While Carlyle isn't selling any shares, it could benefit from any special dividend distributions, like one planned for affiliate Booz Allen Hamilton.
Cobalt International Energy will conduct a $1.1 billion IPO this week. At this rate Carlyle won't have any presents left to open on Christmas morn.
Next stop on Santa's corporate train? Indonesia.
