KKR stock down 30.7% in a year, underperforms Nasdaq despite $796B AUM and strong Q2 earnings

KKR, the global investment firm with an $85.8 billion market cap, has underperformed the Nasdaq Composite recently. Over the past three months, KKR shares returned 4.5% compared to the Nasdaq's 6.2% gain. The longer-term picture is worse. KKR is down 25% year-to-date and 30.7% over the past year, whilst the Nasdaq posted gains of 15.9% and 20.4% respectively. The stock currently trades 34% below its 52-week high of $144.84. Despite this weakness, KKR's fundamentals remain strong. In Q2, assets under management rose 16% year-over-year to $796 billion, with fee-related earnings jumping 37%. On 31 August, KKR agreed to sell USI Insurance Services to Aon for $17 billion, tripling the valuation since its initial 2017 investment. Analysts maintain a "strong buy" consensus rating.

Bridging the AI governance gap: Vobis Ventures acquires Optiv Consulting.

Bridging the AI governance gap: Vobis Ventures acquires Optiv Consulting. September 21, 2026 Anup Kumar, CEO of Optiv Consulting, detailed Vobis Ventures' acquisition of Optiv's advisory and transformation business from KKR. Operating under the Optiv Consulting brand before transitioning to Vobis Arc (AI Advisory, Risk/Governance, and Cybersecurity), the firm retains 500 consultants and engineers serving 800 enterprise clients, including 200 of the Fortune 500. Through a strategic partnership with Anthropic and an exclusive go-to-market agreement with Optiv, the company is focused on expanding its advisory framework to help organizations implement AI at scale both securely and responsibly. Anup highlighted a critical industry challenge: a widening gap between rapid AI adoption and formalized governance, noting that only one in three companies maintains a dedicated AI governance team while nearly half of employees use unauthorized AI tools. As AI shifts from content generation to autonomous action, traditional identity-based perimeter security falls short. To mitigate the risks of rogue agentic behaviors, he argued that the services industry must pivot from simply selling security tools to implementing holistic trust models that ensure agents are continuously monitored, bounded, auditable, and stoppable.
