Professional news: After more than six great years covering credit, today is my first day as a private equity reporter at Bloomberg. I'll be covering the industry, the people in it, and more. I'd love to talk to you: amcneely@bloomberg.net.

RT @podcasts: Private equity is looking for new ways to raise capital – and it’s eyeing a $12 trillion piece of America’s retirement market….

If the White House were to issue some kind of order, it would spur government agencies to work faster on potential legal or regulatory reforms that could pave the way for private equity to end up in more 401(k)s. This is the kind of action the PE industry has been pushing for.

Advisers to President Donald Trump are considering a new directive to pave the way for private equity to become a bigger piece of US retirement savings.

shout out to Ed Helms for the perfect endorsement of Bloomberg (and we don't just do finance news!).

When KKR & Co. thought about the future of a unit investing in the most sluggish part of private markets, it turned to a hot sector. Our look at the creation of the firm's Real Assets unit and what's next.

Private equity firms are taking the longest in more than a decade to give investors their money back. Elite college endowments, some of their most dependable clients, can’t wait much longer.

Bloomberg's Canadian election tracker looks great. I'll be following closely (from afar!) to see how my fellow citizens vote.

Private equity firms are angling for a piece of your 401(k). My colleague @dawnmlim and I delved into how the industry is positioning itself to tap a sliver of the roughly $12 trillion held in defined-contribution retirement plans.

RT @business: Private equity is looking for new ways to raise capital — and it’s eyeing a $12 trillion piece of America’s retirement market….

KKR & Co.’s plan to break from the traditional buyout model and hold some bets on its own books for decades is being directed by a tight-knit group, including co-founders Henry Kravis and George Roberts.

KKR is tapping new leaders for its Global Atlantic insurance unit and moving Allan Levine, its CEO and co-founder, into the role of executive chairman. Billy Butcher and Manu Sareen will become co-heads of Global Atlantic and lead day-to-day operations.

RT @economics: How are investors and business leaders navigating new uncertainty and opportunity in 2025?. Listen to the conversation with….

Blue Owl Capital has raised more than $1 billion for its first strategy backing continuation vehicles by offering a unique sweetener to early investors -- they get a cut of the fees in a retail fund that will be raised alongside the institutional fund.

RT @markets: TODAY: How are investors and business leaders navigating new uncertainty and opportunity? It's a theme infused in this year’s….

Looking forward to joining this event with a few of my colleagues on Monday. Hope you'll tune in.

As a Canadian (who lives in the US), I've been curious if Americans broadly realize -- or care -- how mad their northern neighbours are right now. Great story from @geoffreymorgan. (My mom also switched her dog's food to a Canadian brand.)

Private equity firms face a sober reckoning on their renewable energy bets. Simply put, a lot of those startups aren’t worth nearly what their sponsors paid for them, and some of those zero-emission ventures are just plain zeroes.

KKR has gathered around $14 billion ahead of a first close of its North America private equity fund, a sign of momentum during a difficult environment for the asset class.

President Donald Trump is once again saying he wants to end a tax perk used by private equity fund managers, a policy feat that politicians have tried and failed to achieve for more than a decade.

KKR has hired Melissa Kivett as its first head of defined contribution to lead the alternative asset manager's efforts to develop products and partnerships to sell private assets into 401(k) plans.
