“KKR was the largest detractor to the Fund’s performance in the first half, costing us around 6%. It was our largest position coming into the year and is down nearly 40% through June. It also remains our largest position today, as I have used weakness in the company’s share price to add meaningfully to our investment. In fact, it is approximately 2x the size of our next largest holding. The only other time I have had this type of outsized position in the portfolio was with RICK in late 2019, which went on to quadruple over the next two years.
KKR is an alternative asset manager that manages around $500 billion for clients. It gets paid a management fee and share of profits on much of the capital it puts to work. Importantly, KKR is very well positioned within its field.
For one, alternative asset managers (“Alts”) have been taking share from traditional strategies. On top of that, the largest of these managers have been taking share from smaller ones. Given its size, strong brand, and impressive long-term track record, KKR has been able to grow its AUM and fees at double digit CAGRs for decades and should continue capitalizing on the above trends for the foreseeable future…” (Click here to see the full text)
