Dawn Lim
Reporter
I am a journalist with Bloomberg News. I report on private equity firms, and everything they reach. My stories have provided views into Wall Street, pension boardrooms, data center construction sites, and more.
I have been reporting on some of the world's biggest investors for more than a decade. I covered money managers at the Wall Street Journal, writing about their business bets, people and lobbying. I care about the nuances and histories behind things. I grew up in Singapore, and am based in New York.

When Carlyle Group Inc.'s new chief executive officer, Harvey Schwartz, sets his agenda on Mondays, he confers with the firm’s founders. To help court clients, he ropes in David Rubenstein, the globetrotting founder known for his salesmanship.
Since taking over Carlyle a year ago after an acrimonious leadership shakeup, Schwartz has made clear that the first step to restoring the alternative-asset manager to its former standing is to make peace with its past.
Few private citizens wield more power in America today than Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock. In pushing companies to embrace climate-friendly policies, that has made him a lightning rod.
