The amendment aims to exempt the fund from certain provisions of the Act, allowing for more flexibility in managing investments.

The filing states that the Carlyle Group and CP VIII Coinvestment B, L.P. are requesting an order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exempt the Funds from all provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules under it, except for specific sections. This request reflects the firm's strategy to create capital-building opportunities that are competitive with those at other financial services firms.
According to the filing, the Funds will be established for Eligible Employees and Qualified Participants, aiming to provide long-term financial incentives that align the interests of investors with those of Carlyle's clients.
