  "summary": "KKR has overtaken Partners Group to become Europe’s largest manager of open-ended private market funds by assets, according to a report by Bloomberg. KKR now manages €13.6bn across its European-domiciled evergreen platforms at the end of the first quarter, surpassing Partners Group’s €13.4bn. The growth of these funds reflects a broader trend of private equity firms seeking to expand their investor bases beyond traditional institutions, targeting high-net-worth and retail investors through semi-liquid structures. However, this expansion has also brought liquidity challenges, with both KKR and Partners Group facing increased redemption requests this year.",
