Jacqueline Zhuang was the Executive Director & Head of Managed Solutions Investment Consulting at Credit Suisse South Asia Private Bank, Executive Director & Head of Alternatives Investments Sales and Distribution APAC Private Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, and in her early career at Goldman Sachs.

Transcript of KKR Q3 2021 Earnings (2nd Nov 2021) of KKR Co-CEO Scott Nutall, on KKR Private Wealth Capital Growth:
Scott Nutall, KKR Co-CEO: We also have a number of our funds that we actually sell through private wealth platforms … In the past, it’s been about 10% to 20% of the total money we’ve raised has been from that individual investor channel. We think that 10% to 20% number will move up to 30% to 50%.
Scott Nutall, KKR Co-CEO: We’re creating partnerships with wealth platforms around the world, in addition to building our own team.
Mike Cyprys, Morgan Stanley: How large is the sales team, today?
Scott Nutall, KKR Co-CEO: So the team, kind of probably 18-plus months ago, it was probably around 10 people. It’s now pushing 40. I would expect that number will likely triple or so again from here, over the relatively near term.
