This fund will be used to invest in companies in the Asia-Pacific region.
The money will go towards loans and other credit opportunities.
This is the second fund KKR has created for this region, and it's much bigger than the first one, which was $1.1 billion.
KKR has already made over 60 investments in this region since 2019, totaling $27.5 billion.
The company is also looking to raise $15 billion for another fund focused on private equity in Asia.
KKR has completed a $2.5 billion fundraising for its second Asia-Pacific credit fund.
The fund focuses on privately originated performing credit investments in the region.
The fund includes $1.8 billion in Asia Credit Opportunities Fund II and $700 million in separately managed accounts.
This follows KKR's inaugural Asia Pacific-dedicated private credit vehicle, which closed at $1.1 billion in 2022.
