How did KKR's financial performance trend in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year?

KKR reported a strong increase in total revenues to $5.09 billion for Q2 2025, up from $4.17 billion in Q2 2024. This growth was driven by higher fees across its Asset Management segment and increased net investment income from its Insurance segment. Asset Management Segment Earnings saw a significant increase, while Insurance Operating Earnings also improved, indicating broad-based operational strength.

What were the main drivers of growth in KKR's Asset Management segment?

Growth in Asset Management was primarily driven by a rise in management fees, particularly from new capital raised in Private Equity and Real Assets funds, and increased fee-related earnings. Transaction fees also contributed positively, mainly from the Capital Markets business.

How did Global Atlantic (KKR's insurance business) perform in Q2 2025?

Global Atlantic's Insurance segment delivered improved operating earnings, rising to $277.9 million in Q2 2025 from $253.2 million in Q2 2024. This improvement was primarily due to a substantial increase in net investment income, driven by higher average assets under management and improved portfolio yields, which more than offset increased net cost of insurance.

What is the current status of KKR's Assets Under Management (AUM)?

KKR's Assets Under Management (AUM) continued to grow, reaching $685.8 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase from $637.6 billion as of March 31, 2025. This growth reflects successful fundraising efforts and increased asset values across its various business lines.

How did the net income attributable to KKR common stockholders change compared to the previous year?

Net Income Attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. Common Stockholders decreased to $472.4 million in Q2 2025 from $667.9 million in Q2 2024. This reduction was primarily due to lower net gains from investment activities in the Asset Management and Strategic Holdings segments, although this was partially offset by higher fee-related income.
