KKR Eyes $20B New North America Fund In Tough Market: Report
KKR & Co Inc (NYSE:KKR) is reportedly targeting $20 billion from investors for its latest North America private equity fund, North America Fund XIV.
KKR & Co Inc（紐交所:KKR）據報道正在爲其最新的北美股權投資基金“北美基金14號”爭取200億美元的投資者。這是該公司推出的一款類似規模的前身基金推出三年後的事情。KKR截至3月份管理着5780億資產，正在應對複雜的籌資環境，高利率令再融資和資產銷售更加困難。
This comes three years after the firm launched a predecessor fund of similar size. With $578 billion in assets under management as of March, KKR is navigating a challenging fundraising environment, where high interest rates have made refinancing and asset sales more difficult.
這款新基金本月開始向投資者營銷，旨在實現高十幾年的淨內部收益率（IRR）並計劃每年投入20%至25%的資本，據路透社報道。截至3月，KKR早前推出的北美基金IRR爲20.5%。該報告強調，該公司的籌資努力將考驗投資者對其在區域型收購業務的最新表現的信懇智能。相比之下，卡萊爾集團公司（納斯達克：CG）2018年的基金報告的淨IRR爲8%，貝恩資本2017年的基金報告的淨IRR爲17.1%。
The new fund, which began marketing to investors this month, aims for a net internal rate of return (IRR) in the high teens and plans to deploy 20% to 25% of its capital annually, reported Reuters.
儘管面臨諸多挑戰，KKR仍然保持着樂觀態度。首席財務官羅伯特•勒文在最近的峯會上指出，過去一年的籌資條件有所改善。
KKR's previous North American fund, launched in 2017, achieved a net IRR of 20.5% as of March.
KKR此前推出的北美基金於2017年推出，截至3月份實現了20.5%的淨IRR。
The firm's fundraising efforts will test investor confidence in KKR's recent performance in regional buyouts. For comparison, Carlyle Group Inc's (NASDAQ:CG) 2018 fund reported a net IRR of 8%, and Bain Capital's 2017 fund reported a net IRR of 17.1%, the report highlighted.
