KKR forecasts stronger 2026 despite market turbulence and volatility
KKR & Co. Inc. has reported a solid outlook for 2026, despite ongoing market uncertainty. The global asset manager, overseeing around $744 billion in assets by the end of 2025, sees early signs of improved deal activity. Chief Financial Officer Robert Lewin described the current economic climate as 'nuanced', shaped by shifting interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical pressures.
KKR operates across private equity, credit, infrastructure, real assets, and insurance. In response to a complex macro environment, the firm has bolstered its resources in key areas. Factors like fiscal deficits, public policy shifts, and persistent volatility have added to the challenges.
The company remains optimistic about 2026. Deal pipelines appear stronger than at the start of 2025, with expectations of higher transaction volumes and monetizations. While specific sector or regional growth trends for 2025 were not detailed, KKR's broad platform positions it to adapt to changing conditions.
Lewin's comments reflect cautious confidence. Though market instability has lingered, early indicators suggest a gradual uptick in investment opportunities. The firm's scale and diversified approach provide a foundation for navigating uncertainty.
KKR's focus on private equity, credit, and infrastructure remains central to its strategy. With $744 billion in assets under management, the firm is preparing for a busier 2026. Improved deal flow and a stronger pipeline signal potential growth ahead.
