“KKR has experienced significant growth in its private wealth business in Asia in a relatively short amount of time, across solutions including open-ended private equity, infrastructure, private credit and private real estate,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel for the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.

“Under the astute leadership of Markus Egloff, managing director and head of global wealth solutions, the US private markets house over the last three years has built a formidable regional distribution channel across private banks and wealth managers, sourcing billions of dollars of AUM in the process. Much of that is down to the formidable sales management team that Egloff has built during his tenure with KKR.

“Beyond KKR’s leading product suite across the private markets spectrum, the alternatives giant has become a leader in terms of support for wealth clients in Asia-Pacific. Prominent examples of this include cutting edge thought leadership content across various old and new media formats, training programmes for private bankers, and initiatives such as joining Bank of Singapore’s independent investment advisory council.

“For all of the arguments listed above and more, Asian Private Banker is delighted to present KKR with its House of the Year – Overall accolade, the flagship prize in our Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025 programme. We eagerly await further successes by KKR in developing its private banking and wealth management presence in Asia-Pacific.”
