Content Partners, a Los Angeles-based company that acquires ownership stakes and profit participation rights in movies and television titles, has secured fresh investment capital through Carlyle Global Credit. Variety reports that Carlyle Global Credit provides the new deal to support additional investment activity for Content Partners, a firm that has focused on buying out stakes held by individuals and production companies. Both outlets describe Content Partners as majority-owned by Carlyle, with Carlyle Global Credit acting as the financing partner.
Deadline adds that Carlyle Global Credit has closed a new fund and that existing investors from two prior funds, along with new investors, can choose to participate in a “single-asset continuation vehicle” tied to Content Partners. The reporting characterizes the structure as a way to bring new capital into the company’s film and TV investment strategy while offering investors an option to roll into the continuation vehicle.
Neither source details the size of the capital raise or the specific assets involved, but together they indicate the funding is aimed at expanding Content Partners’ current investment platform in film and television.
