Craig Siegenthaler has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including KKR’s strong fundraising capabilities across institutional, insurance, and retail channels. The firm is benefiting from a fundraising super cycle, particularly in North America and Asia, and has numerous opportunities to scale its products. Additionally, KKR’s attractive relative valuation makes it a compelling investment.
KKR’s differentiated linear deployment model is another key factor, allowing the firm to invest strategically during challenging macroeconomic periods, thereby enhancing returns. The firm’s significant presence in non-US markets, especially in Asia, positions it well as investors seek to diversify away from US-centric strategies. Furthermore, KKR’s confidence in its competitive advantage over banks in the private credit market, even amidst potential bank deregulation, supports the positive outlook for its alternative investment strategies.
