Insights

Capital Group and KKR's new equity interval fund democratizes private markets access for retail investors, building on their successful partnership.

The filing of Capital Group KKR U.S. Equity+ represents a significant milestone in democratizing private market access for everyday investors. Structured as an interval fund, this product eliminates traditional barriers like accreditation requirements and high investment minimums that typically restrict private equity participation to institutional and ultra-high-net-worth investors.

This development follows the partnership's successful April launch of two public-private credit interval funds, which have already attracted $100 million in just three months—demonstrating strong market demand for such hybrid products. The rapid adoption across more than 100 firms validates the strategy's market fit.

What makes this particularly valuable is the integration of public and private equity exposures in a single vehicle. Investors gain diversification benefits while accessing a broader universe of companies, including those remaining private longer in their growth cycles. The interval fund structure elegantly solves the liquidity mismatch problem that traditionally complicates private equity investing for individual portfolios.

The partners' commitment to advisor education is equally significant. Rather than simply launching products, they're building infrastructure to help advisors properly integrate these complex assets into client portfolios—critical for responsible adoption.

This offering reflects broader structural shifts in capital markets, where companies increasingly utilize both public and private funding sources throughout their lifecycle. With additional asset classes planned, including real assets, model portfolios, and target date funds, the Capital Group-KKR partnership is positioning to comprehensively reshape retail investor access to alternative investments.

Capital Group KKR U.S. Equity+ expected to launch in the U.S. in early 2026, blending public and private equity investing and adding to suite of solutions built for everyday investors, pending regulatory approval

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading global investment firms Capital Group and KKR take the next step in their partnership to increase access to private markets with Capital Group's proposed offering of a new public-private equity interval fund.

Building on the April of the firms' first two public-private credit interval funds, Capital Group today filed a registration statement with the SEC for Capital Group KKR U.S. Equity+, expected to launch in the U.S. in early 2026, pending regulatory approval. The fund, which will combine public and private market exposures, aims to deliver a comprehensive solution that provides opportunities for growth and diversification and allows investors to seek opportunities across a wider spectrum of companies.

Structured as an interval fund, the strategy is designed to provide access to public and private equity markets through a single, integrated solution with lower minimums, a familiar investment vehicle and no accreditation requirements.

"Private market investments can enhance returns and add diversification within a portfolio, yet have historically been out of reach for everyday investors given accreditation requirements and higher investment minimums. That's why we're committed to bringing public and private equity investing together through a single, integrated solution, providing access to the highest conviction investment ideas from Capital Group and KKR," said Holly Framsted, Head of Product Group, Capital Group.

A strong foundation

Today's filing follows the firms' April launch of and , which have already attracted more than $100 million in flows within the first three months. Financial advisors across more than 100 firms have participated in Capital Group's customized public-private education programming.

"We have a responsibility to design thoughtful, deliberate solutions that can stand the test of time based on what financial advisors have told us they need. Equally important is helping advisors understand how to integrate these private markets exposures into their clients' portfolios," said Matt O'Connor, CEO of Capital Group's Client Group. "We view the public-private market as an opportunity to do this, and the enthusiasm from financial advisors as we define this category is tangible. Beyond flows, advisors have made education a clear priority, for themselves and their clients," added O'Connor.

"The capital markets landscape has fundamentally shifted. Today's companies no longer choose between public or private capital; they strategically navigate both to unlock growth and long-term value with the flexibility to adapt to changing opportunities and market conditions. Since KKR's founding in 1976, our approach to private equity has been to deliver performance for our clients by investing in good companies and helping them grow into great ones. We're delighted to deepen our partnership with Capital Group by providing access to KKR's private equity solutions at a time when demand for flexible, high-quality private market exposure has never been greater," said Eric Mogelof, KKR's Global Head of Client Solutions.

Work is underway on additional public-private investment strategies, including providing access to KKR's real assets strategies. Capital Group and KKR are also continuing to explore opportunities to work together on model portfolios, target date funds and other areas where combining capabilities can add value to clients.

"The more time we spend together, the more opportunities we see to work with one another. Our cultures are strongly aligned, and our focus on client outcomes is what continues to bind us and drive our joint activities. We both said in 2024 when we announced our partnership that this was just the beginning, and we've only strengthened that belief over the past year," said Capital Group President and CEO, Mike Gitlin and KKR Co-CEO Scott Nuttall.
