Greenhaven Road Capital stated the following regarding KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:
“KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) – KKR shares were down more than 8% in the first half of the year, in line with most of the publicly traded “alternative asset managers”. Explaining short-term share price declines is always a form of speculation, but investor pessimism seemed to be related to tariff impacts and institutional investor fatigue. Alternative asset managers have benefitted in recent years as university endowments steadily increased their allocations to “privates” with many endowments investing 40% or more in the asset class. The combination of lower fundraising, endowment taxes, and illiquidity of alternative assets has led both Harvard and Yale to borrow billions of dollars to fund their operations and investment obligations and have, or been rumored to have, sold some of their illiquid private holdings at a 10% or greater discount to their stated value.
