Eric Mogelof – KKR’s Pivot to Private Wealth (Private Wealth 3, EP.446)
Eric Mogelof is the head of Global Client Solutions at KKR, one of the world’s leading alternative asset firms with roots in private equity dating back to 1976. KKR currently manages $640 billion in assets, across approximately $250 billion in credit, $200 billion in private equity, and $160 billion in real assets. The firm’s objective in private wealth is to deliver the same strategies, performance, and quality of experience to individuals as it does institutions. Our conversation shares how a longstanding brand in private equity has adapted to serve the wealth channel in the last five years. We trace Eric’s path to KKR after a long run leading private wealth at PIMCO, the growing demand for alternatives among individual investors, innovation behind evergreen structures and interval funds, and importance of brand, customized products, and advisor education. Eric shares how KKR is investing in marketing, digital engagement, and on-the-ground sales to reach advisors globally, and the firm’s partnership with Capital Group to expand access for non-accredited investors. We also cover the competitive landscape and the opportunities and challenges of making alternatives more accessible to a broader range of investors.
