OVERVIEW

The size and complexity of an entity such as KKR Private Equity Investors certainly presents private equity fund administrators and technology providers with a challenge. Listening to the views of industry insiders, it seems reasonable to predict that few large buyouts firms will be without a public vehicle before too long. For fund administrators and software specialists, such a trend would add a further layer of complexity to a service that has already grown increasingly sophisticated in response to the demands of an asset class that never stands still.

Throughout this Compendium you will find interviews with, and guest articles from, professionals operating on the frontline of private equity fund administration and technology.
