(Reuters) - Private equity firm Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) Inc is looking to raise as much as $27 billion for its latest flagship fund, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

The fund would be 46% larger than its previous flagship pool from 2018, Bloomberg News said.

Private equity firms in general are amassing huge sums from investors, giving them a chance to look into fresh deals and acquisitions amid soaring valuations of target companies.

PE firm Hellman & Friedman said last Thursday it had closed a $24.4 billion fund, its largest ever.

KKR & Co (NYSE:KKR) raised $18.5 billion in May and Bain Capital secured $11.8 billion in April from outside investors and employees for their flagship North American buyout funds.

Carlyle declined a Reuters request for comment.
