Capital Group President and CEO, Mike Gitlin: ”These solutions demonstrate the power of our combined scale and experience. We believe what Capital Group and KKR can do together is unmatched — blending best-in-class public and private market exposures to deliver diversified and differentiated investment outcomes at a compelling fee. I think of these public-private solutions as the best of both worlds … … Expanding access to private markets is much more than two public-private credit solutions. A joint, cross-company project team is already working on public-private equity solutions. We’re discussing how we can bring public-private model portfolio solutions to our clients. We believe there is a role for private market solutions in retirement, including target date strategies. We’re working on the best way to bring public-private solutions to clients outside the U.S. And we’re also seeing how Capital Group can work more closely with KKR to support their insurance business. Needless to say, there’s a lot going on as we partner to build this category and best serve our clients … … Expanding access to private markets is much more than two public-private credit solutions.

Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-CEOs of KKR: ”Together with Capital Group, we are aiming to unlock the benefits of private investments for the 95%3 of individual investors who have not historically been able to invest in the private markets. We have only scratched the surface of what we can offer investors as we look to expand our collaboration across additional asset classes, geographies and formats. We entered this partnership knowing that our firms are highly aligned with collaborative cultures and complementary strengths―the launch of these first two funds shows what’s possible when our teams come together.”
Eric Mogelof, KKR’s Global Head of Client Solutions: ”The opportunity set for public-private solutions is untapped both globally and across asset classes. Together, we are building a new public-private category for investors and the educational resources to equip advisors and individuals to learn more about private markets and the potential benefits of incorporating private assets into diversified portfolios. We are laser focused on serving the needs of investors, and we could not be more thrilled to take this next step in our partnership with Capital Group.”
Interval Funds
The two new interval funds employ a thoughtful and deliberate approach, designed from the ground up to deliver blended public-private markets exposure with a risk, return and liquidity profile driven by input from financial advisors and a focus on investor needs and outcomes. Defining features include:
- Public credit and private credit exposures combined into a single, holistic solution: over time, and subject to market conditions, each fund will seek to allocate approximately 60% of net assets to public fixed income and 40% to private credit consisting of direct lending and asset-based finance investments.
- Improved liquidity relative to standalone alternatives: quarterly repurchase offers up to 10% of the fund’s outstanding shares at net asset value (NAV). Most interval funds offer 5% quarterly liquidity.
- Highly competitive total expense ratios2:
- Capital Group KKR Core Plus+ at 84 basis points
- Capital Group KKR Multi-Sector+ at 89 basis points
- Low investment minimum of $1,000 for all share classes.
Education
Bringing public-private solutions to a broader audience is a critical first step in expanding access to private markets, and Capital Group and KKR are intent on ensuring the solutions can be successfully integrated into client portfolios and form part of turnkey solutions.
The firms have built a robust educational platform to help financial advisors understand how to utilize private markets in client portfolios, which includes:
- A modular, digital experience calibrated for financial advisors with varying levels of familiarity and experience with private markets.
- A variety of formats including articles, videos and data interactives so advisors can learn in a way that suits their needs.
- Actionable insights from portfolio managers, investment specialists and portfolio strategists across Capital Group and KKR.
- Access to Capital Group’s portfolio construction desk for support with asset allocation and portfolio construction.
