The new location, which has bolstered connectivity with institutional and wealth clients, supports the firm’s growing presence in a global gateway.
KKR, a New
York-headquartered global investment firm focused on private
equity, has opened a new Miami office, expanding the firm’s
presence in a key financial and cultural hub and reinforcing its
commitment to serving clients across Latin America and the
broader region.
Located in one of Miami’s premier office buildings in Brickell,
the new space will serve as a base for KKR’s client and partner
solutions business, supporting collaboration with institutional,
family capital, and private wealth clients in the region,
particularly in Latin America.
“Miami and South Florida have rapidly evolved into a strategic
hub for global capital, driven by a convergence of geographic
advantage, demographic momentum, and business-friendly policy,”
said Monica Mandelli, head of Latin America in global client
solutions at KKR. “Positioned as the closest major US gateway to
Latin America, the region has become a natural nexus for
cross-border investment flows and for multinational financial
institutions seeking exposure to high-growth markets across the
Americas.”
Miami is not just attracting capital – it is increasingly
influencing global investment activity and connectivity across
markets. As FWR readers know, it is also a key wealth management
and private banking hub, as showcased by this year”s
awards program. We also issued a
two-part feature about Miami and the market last year.
“Miami has evolved into an epicenter for private wealth in the
US,” Jordie Olivella, managing director in global client
solutions at KKR, added. “We are seeing more clients and advisors
establish a presence here, and it is increasingly shaping how and
where capital is deployed.”
KKR, with $744 billion assets under management, has long invested
in Latin America. It deploys more than $15 billion in
the region and supports over 16,000 employees through its
portfolio companies.
