KKR& Co. Will Pay Nearly $30M to Settle SEC Charges of Misallocating Broken Deal Expenses

美国证券交易委员会bob200体育宣布Kohlberg Kravis Roberts&Co。(KKR)将支付近3000万美元的罚款,其中包括1000万美元的罚款,以解决该指控,即其将超过1700万美元的“破碎交易”费用误解了其旗舰私募股权资金。根据监管机构的说法,在2011年结束的六年期间,KKR产生了3.38亿美元的勤奋费用,也称为损坏的交易成本,与未能成功的收购机会以及其他类似的费用有关。

这是SEC首次对私募股权顾问收取破损交易成本的分配。在有关期间,KKR负责监督两个资金池 - 私募股权基金及其共同投资工具。随着私人股票资金投资302亿美元,KKR共同投资者与资金一起投入了46亿美元。然而,即使该公司从共同投资者那里筹集了数十亿美元的交易资本,但旗舰资金最终承担了这些破损交易的所有费用。

The SEC said that as a result of the firm’s allocation practices, firm insiders and certain major clients who had invested via the co-investment vehicles benefited as none of the broken deal costs were allocated them for years even as they also availed of deal sourcing activities. The regulator said that not notifying investors of its allocation practices was abreach of fiduciary duty由KKR。

SEC的命令提出了一个解决的行政程序,还发现KKR没有制定与资金支出分配惯例相关的书面合规政策,直到该期限结束为止。SEC表示,正是这种未能采用和执行程序和政策导致公司违反其信托义务。
SEC表示,除了从2009年到2011年的33亿美元不当分配的损坏交易费用外,此类费用另外还有1400万美元的费用不正确地向2006年的KKR资金收取。基金投资者的费用为1870万美元(较早退还给客户的326万美元)加上超过450万美元的预判率利息,以及对SEC的1000万美元罚款。KKR还同意进入该订单的发现,该发现违反了1940年《投资顾问法》的部分以及第206(4)-7条规则。
It was just last year that the regulator chastised the industry for hidden fees in funds and the shifting of certain expenses onto investors without telling them. In January, KKR gave investors back money after the SEC accused the firm of wrongly charging them for certain expenses and not properly notifying them about certain fees.
