KKR & Co

KKR, one of the world's largest and most successful private equity firms, has completed buyout transactions that are among the most complex in history. The firm's investment approach, however, is fundamentally simple: KKR acquires industry-leading companies and works with management to grow and improve them and thereby create shareholder value. Established in 1976 and led by co-founding members Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR has completed more than 170 transactions with an aggregate enterprise value of over $425 billion. As of 2010, the firm had $61 billion in capital commitments. Additional funds that KKR sponsors include KKR Private Equity Investors, LP (Euronext Amsterdam: KPE), a permanent capital fund that invests in KKR-identified investments; and two credit strategy funds, KKR Financial (NYSE: KFN) and the KKR Strategic Capital Funds, which make investments in debt transactions. KKR has offices in New York, Menlo Park, San Francisco, Houston, Washington, DC, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Beijing, Mumbai, Dubai, Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo.
