With a target of $8bn, Carlyle Realty Partners X is shaping up to be one of 2024’s largest fundraises.

The largest US pension fund eyes non-core funds for its next round of allocation to the asset class.

The pension plan has made significant headway toward its annual pacing target with a $300m investment in Carlyle Realty Partners X.
