Feb 18	KKR	$103.60 $103.60 -0.0%	LONG	Randall Williams Sports Business Reporter, Bloomberg	"There's institutional investor money out there... looking to invest in professional sports franchises... Private equity is increasingly buying more stakes because they are seeing these meteorite fees continue to rise." As valuations hit levels where individuals can no longer afford teams (e.g., $8B for Seahawks), the capital stack requires institutional money. Private Equity firms raising dedicated sports funds will see increased deal flow and management fees as they provide the necessary liquidity for these transactions. LONG. Betting on the "financialization of sports" trend. League ownership rules (like the NFL's strict limits) could cap PE involvement; valuations could peak, reducing IRR for these funds.

Feb 13	KKR	$101.55 $103.60 +2.0%	LONG	David Solomon Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs	"Smaller IPOs require... more discount... smaller companies it's always more attractive to sell a company for 100% of its value and get that cash today privately." While the IPO market is opening for large caps, Solomon notes that small companies are better off selling privately. This dynamic feeds deal flow to Private Equity firms and alternative asset managers who act as the buyers/consolidators in private markets. LONG Private Equity managers (like Blackstone/KKR) who benefit from robust private market transaction volume. Higher interest rates impacting leverage costs for private deals.

Feb 13	KKR	$101.55 $103.60 +2.0%	LONG	Lisa Du Asia Investment Reporter, Bloomberg	Japan holds a $7 trillion cash pile. Blackstone and KKR are launching massive media blitzes and educating local brokerages to sell private market products to Japanese retail investors. With inflation finally hitting Japan, cash is no longer safe. The shift from savings to investments is a massive AUM growth opportunity for alternative asset managers who can capture even a fraction of that $7 trillion. LONG. A structural flow of funds story benefiting the largest asset gatherers. Japanese retail investors are notoriously risk-averse and may prefer domestic equities (Nikkei) over foreign private credit/equity.	Bloomberg Markets AI Angst Rocks Asia Markets \| The Asia Trade ...

Feb 12	KKR	$100.94 $103.60 +2.6%	LONG	Peter Harrison CEO, Schroders	Harrison states the deal is driven by the need for "scale" and specifically to access Nuveen's "strength and depth of... Private Markets capabilities and Fixed Income distribution." Traditional "Active Management" (stock picking) is commoditized and capital-intensive due to tech costs. The "Alpha" and growth are entirely in Private Credit and Private Equity. If a giant like Schroders ($700B+ AUM) feels too small to compete without Private Markets exposure, the pure-play Alternative Asset Managers (Blackstone, KKR, Ares, Blue Owl) are the undisputed winners of this secular rotation. They are the predators; traditional managers are the prey. LONG the Alternative Asset Managers and Consolidators. Regulatory scrutiny on private credit valuations; slowing fundraising in private equity.	Bloomberg Markets Nuveen to Buy UK's Schroders for $13.5 Billio...
Feb 11	KKR	$104.87 $103.60 -1.2%	LONG	Bill Ford Chairman, Ford Motor Company	"We had an exit recession for the private equity industry... I think M&A is going to come back in a significant way... it's going to be the most active M&A market we've seen in a decade." Private Equity firms (BX, KKR) have been unable to sell portfolio companies ("exit recession"). A boom in M&A unlocks massive liquidity, performance fees (carry), and capital deployment. Investment Banks (GS, MS) will capture the advisory fees from this surge in deal flow. Long Alternative Asset Managers and Capital Markets. Interest rates rising unexpectedly could freeze deal financing again.	Bloomberg Markets .General Atlantic CEO Ford on Current Investi...
Feb 11	KKR	$104.87 $103.60 -1.2%	LONG	Leslie Picker Reporter, CNBC	Alternative asset managers have sold off double digits recently due to fears of AI disrupting their software holdings. Executives state exposure is small (<10%) and they have been underwriting AI risks for years. The market has priced in a worst-case scenario for private portfolios that contradicts the actual data provided by management. If the exposure is minimal and the "AI disruption" fear is exaggerated, the stocks are undervalued. Long these asset managers as the market realizes the "AI death" thesis for their portfolios is flawed. Private valuations may still need to adjust downwards; indirect exposure via "GDP stakes" or non-software sectors could still be hit by AI deflation.	CNBC How alternative asset managers are easing sof...
