The Carlyle Group Inc. (CG)

Private markets asset manager, one pattern. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 27, 2026. Ranked 19 of the 173 Financial Services companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states more than 2,500 employees at December 31, 2025, 770 of them investment professionals, and describes one global investment management business, so the whole workforce is read at the securities group.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 58% now, 71% at the end of 2027, 73% at the end of 2028, 74% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 74% desk work, 23% people work and 3% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 26% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 66% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

37 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI in its risk factors and market commentary: its own use of artificial intelligence could expose data and increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks, and equity indices have become concentrated in a handful of AI-related stocks that share the same risks.

• “Use of artificial intelligence technology by us could lead to the exposure of our data or other adverse effects and increase competitive, operational, legal, and regulatory risks in ways that we cannot predict.”
• “In the process of this rebound, both the S&P 500 and global indices have become ever more concentrated in a handful of AI-related or AI-adjacent stocks.”
• “The top ten largest stocks now account for over 40% of the market capitalization of the S&P 500, and eight of those ten companies are exposed to roughly the same AI 29 Table of Contents risks.”
• “A change in the outlook for AI-related company earnings, or a reassessment of these companies' valuations, could drive significant market movements.”
• “The market for hiring talented professionals, including IT, AI, privacy, and cybersecurity professionals, is competitive and we may not be able to grow at the pace we desire.”
