donald trump. i believe that choice to you. >> what you think makes the most sense? >> let's start with donald trump. on carlisle's first quarter conference call you seemed qui positive about the economy relative to where you had been three months earlier. he seemed positive about market , and i am wondering if you think that a trump president -- first of all, is a possibility? david rubenstein: when i was talked against ronald reagan. we said he was old and did not know the issues that well. he was too far to the right and did not have a clear message we thought would resonate with american people. we were wrong. you have to be careful what you wish for in politics. it would be difficult to say

either hillary or donald trump could not win. both have a good chance of winning, but it depends on voters in the midwest. know,for those who do not you are politically savvy, you work in washington. and ink on capitol hill the white house, and in previous white house is. the electoral map suggests otherwise, right? people counting the electoral , what anumbers conclusion that hillary clinton is going to win decisively. david rubenstein: that is based on this, it is not impossible. if you go to the last six elections, and hillary clinton would win the same states, she two word 40 electoral votes. if she had the states that went democratic the last five out of seven, she would have a little short. but altra may be able to get votes in the midwest, the reagan votes.

but she had an electoral map advantage and also the minority vote is increasing. when john kennedy ran in 1960, 90 2% were white contagions -- caucasians. on the other side this factor. since world war ii we have had six times were a president .erved two consecutive terms and then using the party switch to the next time. the only time was with george walker bush. turn george herbert walker bush. maybe the country has become more conservative, or republican. it is early to say. when you say either hillary or donald trump could win the nomination, are you suggesting the odds are 50-50? david rubenstein: i would not say that. you have to give it to hillary clinton because of the map.

most people would say that. but anyone that says it is impossible for donald trump is making a mistake. for people with hillary clinton, they will agree. it will be a hard-fought campaign. you have to consider what trump would mean for the economy, the fiscal and monetary policies, and the impact on the portfolio. david rubenstein: it is too early to say. but exactly trump would do as president or hillary. said a few things, but it is hard to be on target when you are making policy. whoever is president, we will have a low growth pete king of ofe -- low growth period time. the last recession ended in june 2009. usually you have seven years between recessions. it could go eight years. it is not usually 10 or 11 years.

in the first term, we will hasn't been close to a recession -- we will have something close to a recession. eric: and it would not matter who is president. david rubenstein: immediately they can make a big difference. for example the, the federal reserve will increase interest rates this year, and that will be independent of whoever the president is. eric: let's talk about hedge funds. carlisle had its share of challenges. there is blanks at this conference, given the hedge funds. have you been able to sample that? david rubenstein: sure. eric: the standalone, as you know, talked about killing fields in the hedge fund industry. david rubenstein: the hedge fund industry is gigantic, $1.3 trillion. modest now to this gigantic industry.

it is about the same size as private equities. people are investing because they want higher rates of return and lowinterest rates public equity returns. people think you can get better rates of return with hedge funds . some have had problems like the macro funds. people willnk realize you have very smart people, highly motivated investing their own money it with investors, and it will be likely over a longer period of time. eric: is it too much chasing this opportunity? david rubenstein: a lot of the money is outside the united states. $3 trillion is not what it was 10 or 20 years ago. it does seem like a lot but not compared to the total size of money under management. you have $75 trillion in assets in management around the world, so $3 trillion is not that big. in general, the global market strategies business includes a number of things similar to but not the same as hedge funds.

it is that the results you would like. committed to hedge funds and global market strategy today as you have been in the past? david rubenstein: we are committed to what our investors want us to do. they think we have the capacity to do these things, so while we have had trouble, we are very committed. we think we have the ability and intelligence, intellectual information from around the world. we own about 200 companies around the world. have a good sense of the economy . while hedge fund people are walled off from the other firms, i think we have the benefit in our firm. we have the ability to get good rates of return. we have for many years with many different funds. eric: but lately not so much. david rubenstein: it has been good in private equities. not so much and hedge funds. if you have one or two quarters

that are bad and you go home, you will not likely be a dedicated investor. all investors have challenges. eric: your shutdown businesses not regenerating returns. david rubenstein: we thought that business was not likely to grow, and the industry is not likely to grow. if you are in business, you start businesses, some will work out. if you are afraid to shut something down, you will be shut out from starting anything. some work very well, some will not. had a preview to what the other funds we are experiencing with redemption. are you surprised with what we see? the scale of redemptions and the losses hedge funds experienced? david rubenstein: the last five quarters, we have seen more withdrawals. so there has in money taken out, but this has happened before. the industry will five again. i cannot say i am surprised, but

i am surprised so many macro people got it wrong. many of them will probably do well in the future. eric: outside of the four main in carlisle runs, have you talked about diversification into other things for profit? david rubenstein: we have a number of businesses we are considering adding to the firm. i do not want to advertise in your right now, but we do think we can do it. we can attract people who can manage funds very well. we do have value. we will continue to grow in different areas. talk about a principle, what kinds of things make sense being added to carlisle? david rubenstein: right now, there is no gigantic infrastructure business among the realogy firm. they have hedge funds, buyout

them that the dominant infrastructure. it may be possible to build a good in for structure business. it might be easier to build than by. findvidence for fracture -- we have an infrastructure fund. many people think it will be attractive in the next couple of years. eric: i want to ask you about energy. your fellow co-ceo described in the first quarter conference call as particularly compelling. what are you waiting for? david rubenstein: we are investing, and prices are down and relatively low. they will come back. oil prices will come back, but we do not know when. carbon is a good way to invest in. demand is great and is global. prices have been unyielding to press. when the cycle comes back, we'll

,ee this appreciation in assets and we hope to buy things and relatively lower prices. eric: do you regret not buying them earlier? david rubenstein: hindsight is always 2020. we have bought a few number of things we are happy with. eric: how soon will you spend this? david rubenstein: it is to invest. over the next two years we will invest it and we have a few years. we are doing some now. equity,u like private energy, the to stretch the control, lending, ent, downstream? david rubenstein: it is like asking which of my children i like the best. i like all of these businesses. right now distress energy is attractive because it was a lot of credit. distress depth will be attractive as well. and the ent market will thrive.

you can buy assets cheaper than they will be in a couple of years. eric: an oil will go up? david rubenstein: somewhere in $70 range that year. some point next year. will notroduction increase, and demand will increase. what is your view on brazil with duma rousseff? she is expected to lose the process, and it be impeached. he went immediately remove her from power. days,rubenstein: four 180 i think it is, and then she can come back. we are a very large investor in brazil, have a lot of investments. we think the economy has challenged, currency is down more than 50% against the dollar. it is the biggest recession in 80 years. he will not get worse. i do not think it can get worse.

eric: even if they shut down all of the investigations into corruption? worst ofenstein: the been occurring, so the trend will be positive. many people feel that has been a challenging time, but it will get better. eric: thank you for taking some time out of your schedule here at salt. david rubenstein, the code chief executive officer of carlyle group. vonnie: stay tuned for the sky result conference. we have the oil tycoon boone pickens at 2:30 in london. w york. slow, hurting macy's. the forecast for the year hoping first quarter sales have missed estimates. they are closing under some stores, offering more discounts
