Carlyle and BECON Investment Management Announce Strategic Distribution Partnership in Latin America and US Offshore Markets

New York and Buenos Aires - September 30, 2025 - Global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) and BECON Investment Management ("BECON") today announced a strategic distribution partnership focused on Latin America and the US offshore wealth market. This partnership brings together Carlyle's global investment capabilities with BECON's deep expertise in regional distribution and its strong understanding of the Latin American wealth ecosystem.

The partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for alternative investments among qualified and high-net-worth investors in the region. Distribution will cover select Latin American markets (excluding Brazil and Chile), and the broader US offshore market, with an emphasis on key wealth centers such as Miami, New York, Texas, and California. Through this partnership, BECON will distribute three of Carlyle's most innovative semi-liquid vehicles via wealth management platforms, including broker-dealers, private banks, family offices, and multi-family offices.

This partnership represents a significant step in expanding access to institutional-quality private market strategies. Both firms are committed to delivering long-term value and innovation to investors seeking diversification, performance, and liquidity in today's evolving market landscape.

"We are pleased to partner with BECON to bring Carlyle solutions to a broader range of qualified investors across Latin America," said Shane Clifford, Head of Global Wealth at Carlyle. "The demand for alternative assets continues to accelerate in Latin America, yet access remains fragmented. By combining Carlyle's capabilities with BECON's strong relationships across the wealth channel, this partnership significantly expands the reach of our platform and helps democratize access to quality private strategies."

"We are proud to work alongside Carlyle, one of the most respected names in global private markets," said Fred Bates, Managing Director at BECON. "Through this alliance, we can offer differentiated, institutional-caliber strategies that respond to the evolving needs of our clients and their portfolios."

As part of this collaboration, Carlyle and BECON will launch a series of initiatives to enhance financial literacy and strengthen advisor expertise. The program will feature webinars and live events, targeted educational content, and technical training to support wealth managers and financial advisors in navigating alternative assets.

"Our goal is not only to distribute products, but to foster knowledge and trust around alternative assets," said Lucas Martins, Managing Director at BECON. "Education is key to building long-term relationships and helping advisors serve their clients better."

"We see this partnership as a bridge between global innovation and regional opportunity. Empowering advisors with the right tools and insights is at the heart of our mission," said Juan Fagotti, Managing Director at BECON.
