KKR Macro & Asset Allocation Interview

Hi all,

I'm new to WSO and wasn't sure where to post this. I was recently invited to first round interviews (phone screen) with KKR's macro group. I couldn't find much info on them online. Does anyone know anything about this group and could provide some info on them and/or interview process? Want to know how to prepare.

Many thanks!!

They're not an investment team, they produce marketing materials and occasionally provide outsourced macro assumptions input to the investment teams. Would be (one of many) good synergies in an LBO of KKR
