Resources
- Investment strategies are not guaranteed to meet their objectives and are subject to loss. Investing in the fund is not suitable for all investors. Investors should consult their investment professional before making an investment decision and evaluate their ability to invest for the long term. Because of the nature of the fund's investments, the results of the fund's operations may be volatile. Accordingly, investors should understand that past performance is not indicative of future results.
- Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.
- Illiquid assets are more difficult to sell and may become impossible to sell in volatile market conditions. Reduced liquidity may have an adverse impact on the market price of such holdings, and the fund may be unable to sell such holdings when necessary to meet its liquidity needs or to try to limit losses, or may be forced to sell at a loss. Illiquid assets are also generally difficult to value because they rarely have readily available market quotations. Such securities require fair value pricing, which is based on subjective judgments and may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were to be sold. Situations involving uncertainties as to valuation of assets held by the fund could have an adverse effect on the returns of the fund.
- The fund is a non-diversified fund that has the ability to invest a larger percentage of assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor results by a single issuer could adversely affect fund results more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of issuers.
For Public-Private Equity+ Funds:
- The fund also intends to concentrate in the financial services group of industries, and to invest at least 80% of its assets in securities issued by companies based in the United States.
- K-PEC and co-investment risks: The fund's investments in KKR Private Equity Conglomerate LLC (“K-PEC”) and co-investments alongside K-PEC or one or more other KKR vehicles that pursue private equity strategies entail additional risks. Private equity investments are typically illiquid, speculative, and difficult to value, often requiring multi-year holding periods with returns generally realized only upon sale or refinancing of a portfolio company. These investments depend on access to financing, and market disruptions or increased competition may limit opportunities and affect performance. The fund's significant investment in K-PEC creates concentration risk and a decline in K-PEC's value could materially impact the fund's returns. Co‑investment opportunities are competitive and limited and there is no assurance the fund will receive allocations or comparable terms and will generally have less information than for public companies. Through its investments in K-PEC or other KKR Vehicles and co-investments, the fund may have exposure to portfolio companies with limited operating histories, evolving markets, unproven technologies, and inexperienced management, which may require significant capital and create heightened vulnerability to downturns. Most holdings are illiquid, subject to resale restrictions and may require consents or be sold at a discount. Costs associated with investments in private equity are generally greater than those of investments in other asset classes. In addition to bearing their portion of the fund's fees and expenses, shareholders in the fund will indirectly bear a portion of the asset-based fees, incentive fees and other expenses incurred by the fund as an investor in K-PEC or other KKR Vehicles and in co-investments. Incentive fees are paid to KKR when the fund's investments in K-PEC or other KKR Vehicles and/or co-investments deliver returns in excess of a specified hurdle; when paid, these fees reduce the net realized returns of such investments.

The average coupon is the weighted average coupon rate of all the bond holdings.
The 30-day SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities calculated according to the standardized SEC formula; when applicable, it reflects the maximum sales charge. If shown, a net yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, the yield would be reduced. Gross yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect.
Option-adjusted spread is a yield-spread calculation used to value securities with embedded options.
The information ratio represents the excess return generated (over the market) per unit of relative risk as measured by tracking error.
Lower of Yield to Maturity or the bond's total return if put or call options are exercised prior to maturity but no default occurs.
A total return swap (TRS) is a contract between a total return payer and total return receiver.

The agreed (or referenced) security can be a bond, index, equity, loan, or commodity.

The credit default swap index (CDX) is a benchmark financial instrument made up of credit default swaps (CDS) that have been issued by North American or emerging markets companies. Credit default swaps act like insurance policies offering a buyer protection in case of the borrower's default.
Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio takes the current price of a stock divided by its earnings per share. The ratio reflects the cost of a given stock per dollar of current annual earnings and is the most common measure of a stock's expense. The higher the P/E, the more investors are paying, and therefore the more earnings growth they are expecting.
S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index based on the results of approximately 500 widely held common stocks. This index is unmanaged, and its results include reinvested dividends and/or distributions but do not reflect the effect of sales charges, commissions, account fees, expenses or U.S. federal income taxes.
A bond's total return if held to maturity and no default occurs or options are exercised. Assumes coupons are paid on time and accounts for their present value. Assumes principal is returned at maturity.

Portfolio turnover is the portion of a portfolio's holdings sold and replaced with new securities annually, usually expressed as a percentage of the portfolio's total assets. For example, a portfolio with a turnover of 25% holds assets for an average of about four years, while a portfolio with a turnover of 100% holds assets for one year.
A measure of fixed income securities' sensitivity to spread movement.
