KKR is a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. We aim to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in our portfolio companies and communities. Founded in 1976, KKR pioneered the leveraged buyout strategy and has been a leader of the private equity industry for five decades. Since the inception of our firm, we have expanded our investment strategies and product offerings from traditional private equity to other alternative asset classes such as leveraged credit, alternative credit, infrastructure, real estate, energy, growth equity, and core private equity. Over the same period, we scaled from being a U.S.-focused firm to a global operation with 36 offices around the world as of December 31, 2025. Our business further expanded with the acquisition of Global Atlantic in 2021, which today conducts our insurance business providing retirement and life insurance solutions. As of December 31, 2025, we managed $744 billion of assets under management, of which $219 billion comes from Global Atlantic. We have a pre-eminent global integrated platform for sourcing and originating investments, raising capital, and carrying out capital markets activities. Our experienced and diverse team of approximately 4,200 employees across asset management and insurance, together with an additional approximately 800 employees across our subsidiary organizations, seek to work proactively and collaboratively across business lines, departments, and geographies to achieve what we believe are the best investment results for our clients.

Revenue commentary · FY 2025

Total revenues declined from $21.9 billion in 2024 to $19.5 billion in 2025, driven primarily by a decrease in Insurance segment revenues reflecting lower net premiums, partially offset by growth in Asset Management revenues.
