KKR launches hybrid credit fund, faces PE slump

Watch: Watch KKR's hybrid fund rollout in Asia in 2026 for impact on asset growth and diversification amid sector valuation pressures.

KKR and Capital Group launched a hybrid public-private credit fund targeting wealthy clients, with 60% in public credit and 40% in private credit, available initially via HSBC Private Bank. Concurrently, KKR's PE portfolio faced negative returns in Q1 2026 amid valuation multiple compression in software assets, mirroring a broader sector trend where median PE returns fell 0.7%.

The fund launch diversifies KKR's offering and targets high-net-worth clients, aiming to offset Q1 PE valuation headwinds that reflect sector-wide challenges around software assets and multiple compressions.
