Carlyle Group Wants to Make You the Next Mitt Romney
The normally secretive private equity industry spent 2012 in the spotlight thanks to Mitt Romney‘s ill-fated presidential run, and some of these firms appear to be capitalizing on all the free press they received — literally. That’s right, the publicly traded private equity firm Carlyle Group — whose funds were once open only to the mega-rich — is now allowing the merely well-off to get in on the action. A report out this week in the Wall Street Journal says that Carlyle will soon begin accepting investments as low as $50,000 — through an intermediary called Central Park Group — into its main buyout funds. This decision comes after other publicly traded private equity firms, like KKR and Blackstone, announced funds for less-wealthy investors, though Carlyle’s distinguishes itself by being the first to lower the bar for entry to its main turnaround projects.

Pro-Obama super PAC outpaces GOP counterpart
Monday, October 22, 2012 - 10:28 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future doubled its monthly hall but was outraised by its pro-Obama counterpart Priorities USA Action for the second month in a row. Restore Our Future , a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney’s candidacy, doubled its fundraising total in September. It took in $14.8 million , but was still outraised by the pro-President Barack Obama Priorities USA Action , which raised $15.3 million for the month. The totals show a reversal of a trend — Republicans to date have fared better at raising money for outside groups, though Romney still has American Crossroads, a well-funded super PAC, and Crossroads GPS, a nonprofit, in his corner. Restore Our Future brought in $7 million in August. Most of the major super PACs had until Saturday at midnight to file monthly reports with the Federal Election Commission on September’s fundraising activities. Meanwhile, J.
