PROFILE |
 |
The barbarians at the gate are now knocking politely. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (popularly known as KKR) assembles multibillion-dollar funds to invest in individual companies via leveraged buyouts (mostly friendly, these days). KKR collects fees for its management activities and takes an active role in increasing the value of companies. Holdings include stakes in publishing company PRIMEDIA ("Seventeen", Channel One), diversified manufacturer Borden, and online mortgage lender Nexstar Financial. KKR is shopping in Europe, where bloated corporations are shedding noncore operations to streamline. KKR's senior partners are cousins Henry Kravis and George Roberts.
