Strategic Capital Raise
The sale is part of the fund’s continuous private offering , which operates under exemptions from the Securities Act of 1933.

The strategy is designed for institutional and high-net-worth investors looking for direct exposure to private credit.
Private Credit Focus
Private credit remains a core focus for KKR, and the latest capital raise reinforces its ability to tap into investor demand. As an emerging growth company, the fund benefits from regulatory flexibility, giving it room to scale its lending strategy without the immediate compliance burdens of more established public entities.
Market Positioning
While KKR has not disclosed how the new capital will be deployed, the fund remains focused on direct lending opportunities. Private financing plays a key role in today’s credit markets, and raising capital efficiently allows KKR to stay nimble as opportunities emerge.
