Why Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. has three stars

KKR runs USD 400 billion of regulatory assets and has been registered with the SEC since 2008. It reports one matter in its Form ADV, brought by the SEC in 2025. Its seven rated insurance-dedicated funds range from three to four stars. In most of them little or none of the assets were valued last year by a firm outside the group, and on its own that rules out five stars.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding this manager's funds through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

The record

Regulatory and legal record

What the adviser itself discloses in Item 11 of its Form ADV, summarised from the disclosure pages, with a link to the filing. Item 11 is filed for the adviser as a whole, so under each matter the fund it concerns is read from the disclosure itself.

202513 January 2025

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.

These are the matters Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 25 September 2026. A reported matter is a fact disclosed by the adviser, not a finding by PPLI.com. None of them concerns the insurance-dedicated funds listed above.
