General Atlantic, an investment firm with $79 billion in assets under management, is exploring an initial public offering, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The New York-based company is working with advisers on a plan to go public, said the people, who requested anonymity because the matter is private. Volatile equity markets may delay a listing, and one may not occur until next year, some of the people said.
