About the company
KKR, or Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, is a prominent global alternative asset manager that boasts an impressive portfolio of $510.1 billion in total assets under management as of March 2023. Within this diverse portfolio, the company operates across two core segments: asset management and insurance. In the asset management segment, KKR focuses on both private and public markets. Private markets encompass a range of investment opportunities, including private equity, credit, infrastructure, energy, and real estate. These private market investments are a significant contributor to KKR's success, accounting for 50% of their fee-earning assets under management and a substantial 70% of their base management fees. The company's expertise in private markets has allowed them to identify attractive investment opportunities and create long-term value for their clients. On the other hand, KKR also thrives in the public markets. They primarily focus on credit and maintain a notable presence in the hedge/investment fund platforms. Public markets make up the remaining 50% of KKR's fee-earning assets under management and contribute to 30% of their base management fees. By navigating the complexities of the public markets and leveraging their extensive experience, KKR has solidified its position as a trusted investment partner for clients seeking exposure to publicly-traded assets. In addition to the asset management segment, KKR expanded its operations to include insurance services through its acquisition of a 61.5% economic stake in Global Atlantic Financial Group. This purchase, completed in February 2021, provided KKR with a foothold in the insurance industry and diversified their revenue streams. Global Atlantic Financial Group specializes in retirement/annuity and life insurance lines, as well as reinsurance. Through this strategic move, KKR aims to capitalize on the stable and long-term nature of insurance businesses while also offering innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of their clients. With a balanced presence in both private and public markets, coupled with the recent addition of insurance services, KKR has positioned itself as a leading alternative asset manager capable of providing comprehensive investment solutions. Their extensive experience, deep industry knowledge, and commitment to creating value for investors have contributed to their robust lineup of investments and their ability to deliver consistent, superior returns. As KKR continues to navigate the ever-changing investment landscape, it remains dedicated to identifying compelling opportunities, generating attractive risk-adjusted returns, and delivering long-term value to its clients.
