Have the barbarians at the gate become civilized? KKR & Co., the master of the leveraged buyout, has ditched its hostile takeover image for a kinder, gentler, buy-and-build strategy. The global investment firm has some $59 billion in assets under management, including significant stakes in such companies as Del Monte Foods, Samson Investment, and Go Daddy. An active owner, it often supervises or installs new management and revamps strategy and corporate structure, selling underperforming units or adding new ones. KKR tends to hold onto its investments for the long term. The company has offices in major business centers in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the US. KKR went public via a nearly $2 billion IPO in 2010.
