Investment firms KKR and Capital Group will launch a fund in early 2026 offering exposure to private and public equity, catering to increasing demand for diversification. The fund will have low minimum investment thresholds and allow exits only during set windows, appealing to retail investors seeking outsized returns from private markets.

As high-profile companies stay private longer, investment firms are innovating to meet demand for private market exposure. Privately held assets offer potential for higher returns and less sensitivity to economic swings, making them attractive for diversification within portfolios.

The new fund marks a deeper partnership between KKR and Capital, following the successful launch of two funds focused on a mix of public and private credit in April. These funds have already attracted $100 million in flows within the first three months, signaling strong investor interest.
