Jason Thomas, Head of Global Research & Investment Strategy at Carlyle, spoke to CNBC’s Julianna Tatelbaum live from London this morning ahead of our European Investor Conference. In the conversation, Jason noted why companies are choosing to stay private longer and how #PrivateMarkets can offer diversification from the #AI-related volatility that has stock markets on edge. Turning to the US specifically, they discussed the #macroeconomic outlook, the likelihood of another rate cut from the Fed by year-end, and Jason’s view on the latest economic indicators across inflation and jobs. Jason also highlighted his latest "Carlyle Compass" publication, which analyses the US-EU trade deal, the need for European strategic autonomy, and the potential productivity boost from increasing defense spending and R&D budgets across Europe. ➡️Read “Newton’s Third Law of Economics” here: http://spr.ly/604679mH0 ➡️Watch his CNBC interview here: http://spr.ly/604779mHF

Ahead of our Europe Investor Conference, Carlyle CEO Harvey Schwartz joined Wilfred Frost in London for a conversation on The Master Investor podcast. Harvey reflected on how his early experiences shaped his path and taught him humility, resilience, and the importance of learning from setbacks. He spoke about the people who intervened at pivotal moments and how those lessons continue to influence how he leads, builds teams, and thinks about long-term opportunity. His message: humility matters. It keeps leaders grounded as capital formation evolves and companies stay private longer, helping them navigate uncertainty, stay the course, and continue learning. Humility creates space for better decisions, collaboration, and growth, both in leadership and investing. 🎥 Watch their full conversation here: http://spr.ly/60467gqdo
