KKR Chief Financial Officer Robert Lewin has stated that it is "unlikely" the firm will engage in significant strategic mergers and acquisitions. This clarification was provided following an on-air graphic error during a broadcast of Bloomberg Markets.

The program, which typically examines global market movements across all asset classes and addresses major Wall Street concerns, hosted several prominent financial figures. Guests included Robert Lewin of KKR, Ian Charles of Arctos, Kelsey Berro from JPMorgan Asset Management, and Kristy Akullian representing BlackRock's iShares Investment Strategy for the Americas.
