Montaka Global Investments stated the following regarding KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“The June quarter was certainly an interesting time for investors. In the first week, thanks to Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff policy announcement, the S&P500 experienced a double-digit percentage decline. But then over the subsequent weeks, the index bounced back by nearly 25% notwithstanding an extraordinary Israeli and US attack on Iran along the way. The good news is that, while uncomfortable, such market volatility can create (even more) attractive investment opportunities.

One recent example relevant to Montaka’s investors has been KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR). This year alone, KKR’s stock price declined by 44%, then bounced back 50%. Yet, in our assessment, KKR’s long-term business prospects remain unchanged, and we used this period of volatility to successfully add to Montaka’s position in KKR.

Even Blackstone and KKR, the world’s leading alternative asset managers, exhibit flywheel dynamics. With the greatest scale around the world, and full-service offerings across the entire capital structure, they can source the most attractive deals. These attributes attract the world’s largest clients, as well as the highest-caliber deal-making talent – all of whom mutually benefit from greater investment returns over time. Furthermore, with some of the largest investment portfolios in the world, Blackstone and KKR can leverage their proprietary data sources to identify new investment trends before they are recognized by the competition, further increasing expected investment returns.”
