Kkr Vs Blackstone

Blackstone Leads the Private Equity Pack with Investment Plans

Dominating the Industry

Among the top four publicly traded private equity firms, Blackstone stands out as the investor with the most capital poised for investment in the upcoming three years. This projection is backed by the expertise of Bernstein, a leading research and advisory firm.

Apollo's Future Investments

Bernstein also anticipates substantial investment activity from Apollo Global Management. While the specific amount of capital is not disclosed, Apollo's plans are expected to align with the supportive market conditions.

Rivalries and Compensation

Within the industry, KKR Co. has recently implemented pay increases for junior executives, resulting in its compensation packages being more competitive than Blackstone's for analysts and associates. However, Blackstone retains an edge regarding VP salaries.

Strong Financial Performance

Buoyed by the favorable equity markets, Blackstone, KKR, and Carlyle Group collectively set aside approximately $2 million in combined salaries and benefits per employee during 2021.
