全球投资公司KKR于周一表示，已同意以含债务51亿美元的价格收购私募资本基金行政管理公司Gen II Fund Services，从而涉足支持私募市场的基础设施业务。
Global investment firm KKR said on Monday it had agreed to buy private capital fund administrator Gen II Fund Services in a $5.1 billion deal including debt, gaining exposure to infrastructure supporting private markets.

KKR表示，Gen II的联合创始人兼首席执行官史蒂芬·米尔纳（Steven Millner）将继续领导该公司。该交易预计将于2027年完成。这笔交易进一步扩大了KKR在支撑私募市场的业务领域的布局。
Gen II’s co-founder and CEO Steven Millner will continue to lead the company, KKR said. The transaction is expected to close in 2027. The deal further expands KKR’s presence in businesses that underpin private markets.
