Overview
KKR is a global alternatives leader managing $686 billion as of mid-2025—up 14% year over year, with fee-paying AUM of $556 billion and perpetual capital approaching $289 billion, or roughly 42% of the firm. It reaches real estate investors through funds and the KKR Real Estate Select Trust (KREST), a non-traded REIT, spanning both equity and credit, and it benefits from the balance-sheet heft of its Global Atlantic insurance arm. For exchangers, the appeal is institutional scale and a fast-growing perpetual-capital base; real estate DSTs are a small expression of the broader platform.
