Shares of KKR are down significantly year-to-date and from their peak, despite the company reporting record full-year Fee Related Earnings and substantial new capital raised. This decline is largely attributed to retail investor concerns over private credit quality following reports of rising non-accrual loans in KKR’s direct lending business. In contrast, KKR’s Co-CEOs and other board members have been actively buying shares, signaling internal confidence.
