Through KKR, Henry helped to pioneer private equity as a fund option, and since his first private equity leverage buyout in the 70s, the market has exploded with hundreds of small private equity firms vying with firms like Blackstone, Apollo, and KKR.
“KKR has expanded into new business segments since the launch of their first private equity fund. The company holds investments in a wide range of income-producing real estate throughout the United States. This includes office rentals, retail spaces and health care properties. In 2013, KKR raised $1.2 billion for a real estate investment fund. KKR also constructs and manages hedge funds. The firm was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010 and raised $1.25 billion from its initial public offering (IPO).” –Investopia article.
