Greenhaven Road Capital made the following comment about KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) – Given the concerns in the financial markets about a banking crisis and a run on banks, share prices of all “financials” declined during the first quarter. KKR was not spared, falling more than 10% as the Silicon Valley Bank saga unfolded with a parade of outflows triggered by some tweets, texts, and a few clicks in their apps. Other than being in the financials category, KKR could not have less in common with SVB. At KKR, capital is pooled in over 100 vehicles and can only leave KKR if there is an investment realization or the firm proactively decides to return the capital. In fact, over 45% of the fee-paying capital is permanent, and there is over $100B in “dry powder” that KKR will call when ready to invest in new opportunities. Private equity with permanent capital and mountains of dry powder is one of the most durable businesses I can imagine. KKR can and likely will outlast us all.”
