(JPM), which last year said its private-equity unit would become independent, agreed to sell half of its $4.5 billion in buyout holdings to Carlyle Group LP (CG)’s AlpInvest Partners BV and Lexington Partners Inc. Dealmakers at One Equity Partners LLC will form OEP Capital Advisors LP, an investment firm independent from New York-based JPMorgan, when the transaction is completed, which is expected by year-end, according to a statement today.
