Regulatory action by US Securities and Exchange Commission: cease and desist
Fund concerned: none named in the filing. The matter concerns the adviser itself, not a specific fund, and none of the insurance-dedicated funds in this file is named.
The SEC alleged that from December 2019, personnel at KKR sent and received off-channel communications that related to its advisory business. KKR did not maintain or preserve these off-channel communications, resulting in a violation of Section 204 of the Advisers Act and Rule 204-2(a)(7) thereunder. KKR also failed to implement procedures reasonably expected to prevent off- channel communications and failed to reasonably supervise its personnel within the meaning of Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act.
