Established in 1976, we are a leading global alternative asset manager. Led by our founders, Henry Kravis and George Roberts, who are pioneers of the leveraged buyout industry, KKR specializes in large, complex buyouts. We are a global firm with industry-leading private equity experience, in-depth industry knowledge, sophisticated processes for growing and improving businesses, and a strong culture committed to teamwork and sharing information across offices in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia.
We have a history of landmark achievements in private equity, including the first leveraged buyout in excess of $1 billion, the first friendly tender offer in the buyout of a public company, and the largest buyouts in the U.S., the Netherlands, Denmark, India, Australia, Turkey, Singapore, and France.
We have continued our history of innovation by establishing new strategies that leverage the power of our brand and the intellectual capital in our private equity business. We sponsor and manage funds and accounts that make investments in fixed income and other strategies. We also engage in capital markets transactions and other activities that capitalize on the experience and knowledge that we have accumulated throughout our history.
