admin April 28, 2026

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Global investment firm KKR today announced the appointment of Lauren Goodwin as Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist for the firm’s Global Wealth Solutions business. Ms. Goodwin, an experienced economist and portfolio strategist, will lead efforts to develop new practical tools for financial advisors and adapt KKR’s differentiated market insights for wirehouses, RIAs, private banks, and independent broker-dealers.

“We are delighted to welcome Lauren to KKR as we continue to invest in our wealth business with a focus on value-add resources designed for the needs of the advisor community,” said Doug Krupa, Partner and Head of Global Wealth Solutions, Americas at KKR. “Lauren brings a strong understanding of how macro forces and portfolio construction shape investment outcomes and has a genuine passion for educating and connecting with advisors. At a time when the asset management landscape is shifting rapidly and access to institutional-quality private market strategies has the potential to be transformative for individual investors, Lauren will strengthen how we engage with and support advisors in all market environments.”

In this role, Ms. Goodwin will draw on KKR’s 50 years of private markets investment experience and breadth of expertise, including adapting macro insights from KKR’s Global Macro & Asset Allocation (GMAA) team and geopolitical analysis from the KKR Global Institute (KGI), to provide advisors with education, applied research, and portfolio frameworks to help them incorporate private markets thoughtfully into client portfolios.

“We built KKR’s GMAA capabilities out of a conviction that macroeconomics should be embedded in everything we do, from deal underwriting to asset allocation to how we manage our own balance sheet,” said Henry McVey, CIO of KKR’s Balance Sheet and Head of GMAA. “Lauren has a proven ability to help advisors apply market insights directly to the portfolio decisions they make every day. In this evolving investment environment, how portfolios are constructed becomes even more critical, and we believe private markets play an increasingly important role as core building blocks.”

“Advisors have more information at their disposal than ever, but the macro landscape has only grown more complex and investors are under increasing pressure to rethink how they build portfolios,” said Ms. Goodwin. “I’ve been impressed by KKR’s commitment to pairing differentiated investment solutions with hands-on engagement and rigorous market research. The firm’s culture, scale, and dedication to the wealth channel will enable us to deliver uniquely actionable frameworks and insights to help advisors use private markets as a tool to enhance client portfolios.”

For over a decade, KKR’s Global Wealth Solutions team has worked with leading platforms and advisors to provide eligible individual investors access to the same investment capabilities, strategic partnership, and insights that KKR delivers for the world’s largest institutional investors. The K-Series evergreen products have been launched on over 180 distribution platforms and are enabling thousands of advisors to participate in all four of the firm’s private market asset classes – private equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure.
