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. 

KKR co-CEOs Joseph Bae and Scott Nuttall said: “Since day one, Global Atlantic has been a great fit for KKR, both from a business and cultural standpoint. With this new ownership structure in place, we look forward to even closer collaboration with Global Atlantic so that we can realise more of the synergies that we have uncovered in the first three years of our strategic partnership,”
