KKR, Capital Group to Start Public-Private Credit Fund in Asia

KKR and Capital Group plan to launch a public-private credit fund in Asia in the second half of 2026, extending a partnership model that has already attracted over US$500 million in the United States. The vehicle will combine public and private credit assets to offer greater liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for wealth management clients. The initiative comes as private credit continues to expand despite recent investor concerns over fund withdrawals, redemption restrictions, and high-profile setbacks in the US market. The launch reflects a broader industry trend of asset managers developing hybrid investment products to broaden retail access to private markets.
