KKR and Arctos Partners are considering launching a GP-led secondaries strategy, according to KKR’s chief financial officer Robert Lewin. During the firm’s Q2 earnings call on 30 July, Lewin emphasized the potential of combining Arctos’ expertise in the secondary space with KKR’s industry relationships and market knowledge. He stated, 'We believe we can build a really world-class GP-led business' by leveraging both firms’ strengths.

This strategy aims to capitalize on the growing demand for secondary investments, where KKR and Arctos would act as general partners. Lewin highlighted the synergy between Arctos’ connectivity and KKR’s operational experience. The collaboration could position them as key players in a competitive market.
