KKR Fixed Income was founded in August 2004 by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and by Founding Partners, Saturnino Fanlo and David Netjes as a management company. Each Founding Partner brings more than 25 years of investment and trading experience to KKR Fixed Income and have worked together as business partners for more than eight years. With their expertise at the helm and our roots in the world’s oldest and most experienced private equity firm, we are building and continually leveraging the right relationships to offer the best-in-class brand in financial services. We are growing quickly and continually adding to our team.
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. has a rich, more than 30-year heritage. It has completed buyout transactions that are among the most complex in history, yet its investment approach is fundamentally simple: It acquires industry-leading companies and works with management to grow and improve them and thereby create shareholder value. Established in 1976 and led by Co-Founding Members Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR has completed over 160 transactions valued at approximately $410 billion. As of September 30, 2007, these transactions have created $86 billion of value on over $39 billion of invested capital, a multiple of 2.2 times. Its investors include corporate and public pension plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, and university endowments.
