In a report (subscription required) out of the Dow Jones LBO Wire, Carlyle Group L.P. has delayed its deadline for the fund-raising efforts for its new Carlyle Partners V LP. The delay is said to have been moved to the end of the year for it to close on its fund raising efforts. Carlyle V’s original closing date was May 30, and it received investor consent to extend the final closing date to Dec. 31 at the very latest.

Fund V efforts started in 2007 and was said to have swiftly held an $8 billion first closing with a target of $15 billion and a hard cap of $17 billion.

Carlyle is not the first nor the only facing delays. The Blackstone Group L.P. (NYSE: BX) and Madison Dearborn Partners both delayed the closing of private equity funds earlier this year.
