A worrisome retirement crisis: Henry Kravis (22)

Securing the financial future of millions

KKR has always been in the retirement business. Some of the first investors in our private equity funds were the state pension funds of Oregon, Washington and Michigan. Those public funds support the retirement benefits and livelihoods of millions of individuals caring for us and our communities.

The world has changed a lot since the early 1980s, when those first investments were made. One of the biggest changes has been the shift in retirement responsibility from employers to employees.
