US private equity company KKR completed the acquisition of the remaining 37% stake in insurance company Global Atlantic in January 2024.

Announced in November 2023, the all-cash $2.7bn deal takes KKR’s ownership in the insurer to 100%. 

Global Atlantic caters to the retirement and life insurance requirements of both individuals and institutions.  

KKR initially acquired a majority stake in Global Atlantic in 2021 and has since managed its assets. 

Despite the change in ownership, Global Atlantic will retain its current management team and continue to operate under the same brand name.
