General Electric Co. agreed to sell its private-equity investment group to French alternative asset manager Ardian for about $500 million, people with knowledge of the matter said.

Ardian won the assets earlier this month in an auction process run by Evercore Partners Inc., said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
