We’re honoured to be recognised by Asian Private Banker as Best Fund Provider – Private Equity for the third consecutive year. KKR has been a pioneer in private equity for nearly five decades, guided by a consistent spirit of innovation and partnership.
From championing employee ownership to developing evergreen structures, our journey reflects a constant drive to innovate and strengthen the way we invest. What defines us is our focus on creating lasting value and advancing a culture of shared success.
Manager selection matters, and when combined with active value creation and time-tested playbooks, private equity has the potential to help businesses adapt, grow, and thrive through cycles.
Partnership is in our DNA. We win together, and that collaborative culture makes us better investors and better stewards of the companies we own. The tools may evolve, but the principles remain the same: find good businesses and make them great.
Winners Rationale
“Private equity giant KKR thoughtfully cultivates long-term relationships within the Asian private wealth space. This effort is underpinned by a robust team of dedicated, experienced professionals who deliver top-notch client services,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“The K-PRIME fund gives U/HNWIs direct, singular entry into KKR’s industry-leading private equity offerings, covering a diverse mix including buyout, core, middle market, global impact, and growth equity. Remarkably, since its launch, the fund has made significant progress in establishing a dynamically managed portfolio, resulting in strong and consistent performance amid shifting market conditions.
“Leveraging KKR’s proven investment discipline, the fund excels at identifying key themes for value creation and growth. Furthermore, the firm’s ongoing commitment to expanding its broad-based employee ownership programme in Asia adds an impactful dimension, appealing to wealthy regional investors focused on responsible investing.
“For these reasons and more, KKR beat out tough competition this year, claiming the title of Best Fund Provider – Private Equity at our Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025. Congratulations to the team!”
