KKR in lukewarm IPO

The company's listing yesterday ends KKR's three-year journey to a US listing, after shelving IPO plans in 2007. KKR moved to merge its US unit with its Amsterdam-listed Guernsey fund last year, with the Guernsey fund shareholders now holding about 30% of the merged entity.

The listed company is estimated to have a market capitalisation of $7bn, with founders Henry Kravis and George Roberts holding 13% each. KKR, which depends on private equity investments for 62% of fee-related income, plans to raise another $500m from the public markets, depending on market conditions.
