Advance with a company with an incredible history.
Since inception as the Goldman Sachs Reinsurance Group in 2004, we have patiently and thoughtfully built a leading retirement and life insurance company. KKR initially acquired majority ownership of Global Atlantic in 2021 and later increased its ownership stake to 100% in 2024. Today Global Atlantic is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KKR, operating as a standalone insurance business. We have achieved our success through strategic acquisitions and a focus on growth by delivering clear value for our distribution partners and customers.
