Carlyle Group owns 55% of NGP's revenue and was due a fee from NGP for any new limited partner that invested in the fund.
State teacher pension funds ensuring Carlyle's new fees include Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Ohio and New Hampshire. The Carlyle Group loves public education money, directly or indirectly.
