The evolution of access to private markets is accelerating, and we’re proud to play a leading role in shaping what comes next.
We’re grateful to Asian Private Banker for recognising KKR as Best Fund Provider – Private Markets – Open Ended for the second consecutive year. As individual investors increasingly seek to participate in opportunities once reserved for institutions, KKR stands at the forefront of this transformation — bringing our institutional-quality investment platform to wealth clients across the region and beyond.
What sets KKR apart is the breadth of our capabilities across private equity, credit, infrastructure, and real estate, supported by the full depth of our global platform. Since launching our dedicated wealth effort in 2013, our focus has been to make the same investment strategies that we’ve been delivering for decades to institutions more accessible to individual investors.
As private markets continue to evolve, we remain focused on partnering with private bankers and helping eligible investors participate in the long-term opportunities that define KKR’s approach to building enduring value.
Winners Rationale
“With private asset managers rapidly introducing innovative structures to capitalise on Asia’s booming wealth market, KKR is leading the charge with its distinctive K-Series of funds,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“The K-Series is distinguished by its comprehensive scope, encompassing private equity (K-PRIME), private credit (KIT), infrastructure (KIF), and real estate (KREST). This broad reach makes it easy for private wealth investors in Asia to capture opportunities across asset classes as they construct a well-diversified portfolio.
“Critically, the K-Series funds co-invest alongside KKR’s flagship institutional funds, ensuring a strong alignment of interest and access to the firm’s proprietary deal flow. K-Series investors also benefit from the full resources of KKR’s platform, including global macro insights, operating specialists, and an extensive network, all dedicated to driving value creation in portfolio companies.
“With its powerful combination of proven performance, strong execution capability, and industry-leading deal sourcing, KKR is undeniably the Best Fund Provider – Private Markets – Open Ended.”
