KKR private wealth global head Todd Builione said: “Investors are rethinking the traditional 60/40 portfolio construction model and are increasingly looking towards alternative investments as a source of uncorrelated returns.

“Given our nearly five decades of experience investing in alternatives, we believe we are well positioned to help individuals meet their retirement needs.

“Paula’s appointment underscores our commitment to building a market-leading wealth business that brings the best of KKR’s insights and alternative investment strategies to this important and growing segment.”
