KKR

KKR appears in 151.私募信贷Private Credit：加速AI建设的“天使”，还是诱发金融危机的“恶魔”？ as one of the large private-market managers shaping the growth of [[PrivateCreditMarket|private credit]]. The source uses KKR partly as a scale example and partly as part of the insurance-funding channel where private-market managers gather long-duration capital for illiquid credit assets.

The episode’s interest in KKR is structural rather than a standalone company profile. KKR helps show how private credit can move from a niche alternative product into a more concentrated market connected to insurers, banks, private equity, and wealth-management distribution.
