Market volatility, triggered by trade tensions and tariffs, has exposed risks even for leading private credit players like FSK. FSK's attractive 13%+ dividend yield could face imminent risks, as adjusted NII per share may not fully cover distributions through 2025 and 2026. Despite a resilient and diversified portfolio, ongoing rate headwinds and execution risks justify a cautious stance on FSK.
U.S. private equity firm KKR and Assura have agreed on the terms of a "best and final" offer for the British healthcare real estate investor's sale, valuing it at nearly 1.7 billion pounds ($2.29 billion), the companies said on Wednesday.

The water company said the decision not to proceed with the equity raise created uncertainty around its plan to stay afloat, raising the prospect of nationalization.
Thames Water could be on the verge of being renationalised after its preferred funding partner, US private equity giant KKR, has decided to walk away. KKR was selected as "preferred partner" in March after it offered to put £4 billion into the company, but despite the US firm completing due diligence stage and preparing a funding plan, it has now "indicated that it will not be in a position to proceed", the UK's largest water company said in a statement.
KKRT offers a 6.875% nominal yield, a BBB+ rating, and is fairly priced relative to KKR's senior debt and sector peers. KKR has outperformed both the S&P 500 and asset manager peers over the past decade, but its debt interest coverage requires monitoring.

KKR's earnings are more stable than perceived, with fee-based revenue providing resilience against market volatility and downturns. Assets under management continue to grow, driven by strong fundraising, new product launches, and increased perpetual capital, supporting double-digit earnings growth.
