Jay Wintrob, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered good results in the third quarter, primarily driven by strong investment returns and incentive income from realizations. Fee-related earnings grew 23 percent year-over-year, reflecting additional closed-end fund management fees and prudent cost containment. Distributable earnings rose 46 percent over last year’s third quarter, mainly due to a substantial increase in incentive income. It’s natural that a strong realization environment will not simultaneously offer plentiful bargains, and thus we’re maintaining our ‘move forward, but with caution’ investing posture. That said, our investment teams continue to be resourceful in identifying attractive investments and we remain well positioned, with record levels of dry powder to deploy at a faster pace if market conditions change and the opportunity set widens.”
