KKR launches Global Impact Fund

The fund will target investments with positive social and environmental impact globally, and has entities registered in both Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands.

KKR has joined a group of other large global private equity firms that have launched impact funds, including Bain Capital, TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs.

TPG launched a social impact fund in 2017, in association with Bill McGlashan, Bono and Jeff Skoll – the fund held a final close on its $2.1bn hard-cap.

KKR is currently investing in European private equity from its €3.3bn buyout fund, which held a final close in December 2015. It was 50% deployed in June 2017, according to Unquote Data.
