Located in one of Miami’s premier office buildings in Brickell, the new space will serve as a base for KKR’s client and partner solutions business, supporting collaboration with institutional, family capital, and private wealth clients in the region, particularly in Latin America.

“Miami and South Florida have rapidly evolved into a strategic hub for global capital, driven by a convergence of geographic advantage, demographic momentum, and business-friendly policy,” said Monica Mandelli, head of Latin America in global client solutions at KKR. “Positioned as the closest major US gateway to Latin America, the region has become a natural nexus for cross-border investment flows and for multinational financial institutions seeking exposure to high-growth markets across the Americas.”

Miami is not just attracting capital – it is increasingly influencing global investment activity and connectivity across markets. As FWR readers know, it is also a key wealth management and private banking hub, as showcased by this year's awards program. We also issued a two-part feature about Miami and the market last year.

“Miami has evolved into an epicenter for private wealth in the US,” Jordie Olivella, managing director in global client solutions at KKR, added. “We are seeing more clients and advisors establish a presence here, and it is increasingly shaping how and where capital is deployed.”

KKR, along with peers such as Blackstone and Carlyle, has also pushed into the private wealth space in recent years as a way to distribute its funds.

KKR, with $744 billion assets under management, has long invested in Latin America. It deploys more than $15 billion in the region and supports over 16,000 employees through its portfolio companies.
