Have the barbarians at the gate become civilized? KKR (formerly Kohlberg Kravis Roberts), the master of the leveraged buyout, has shed its old name and intends to go public with a planned $1.25 billion IPO. The company long ago updated its hostile takeover image for a kinder, gentler, buy-and-build strategy. The firm assembles funds from institutional and wealthy investors and profits from management fees and its direct interests. An active investor, it often supervises or installs new management and revamps strategy and corporate structure, selling underperforming units or adding new ones. KKR has some $55 billion in assets under management.
