Summary
Alisa Wood, a partner at KKR, said the firm has broken its previous record for asset sales, according to a Bloomberg video interview published October 13, 2026. Speaking with Bloomberg's Dani Burger at the CAIS Summit in Beverly Hills, Wood said KKR's approach is "linear" in how it exits businesses, allowing the firm to sell portfolio companies without waiting for them to reach the initial public offering market.
Wood also commented on conditions across the private equity industry, describing a crowded landscape. She said there are too many funds in the market, a dynamic she argued could limit the ability of smaller managers to grow value. The interview did not specify the dollar value of the record exits or the number of transactions involved.
Wood co-leads KKR's two K-Series evergreen private equity vehicles, according to the firm's publisher profile. Her comments reflect the firm's broader positioning around exits and capital deployment, and the publisher context notes she has previously described capital markets as normalizing with transactions picking up.
