Why it matters
KKR's credit platform manages approximately $300 billion, and the firm is prioritizing bespoke financing and careful underwriting of data-center risks. KKR estimates that Asia could require about $800 billion in capital to meet these growth opportunities in private credit and asset-based finance.
