KKR raises S$7.6b in region’s largest fund

HONG KONG — KKR & Co raised US$6 billion (S$7.6 billion) for its third Asia private equity fund, equipping the firm with the largest such fund in the region at a time when market turmoil is creating both opportunities and challenges for foreign investors.

KKR said it raised US$1.5 billion, or 26 per cent of the fund, from Asian investors. The firm also raised US$908 million from new investors who did not participate in KKR’s first Asia fund.
