Japan Post Insurance has announced a $2 billion investment in a new Global Atlantic vehicle aimed at expanding global insurance investment strategies. This major commitment more than 50% of the total vehicle is backed by KKR and its subsidiary Global Atlantic, a leader in retirement and investment solutions.

The vehicle, expected to launch in early 2026 pending regulatory approvals, will engage in insurance, reinsurance, and other strategic initiatives. This deal follows the strategic alliance Japan Post Insurance, KKR, and Global Atlantic initiated in June 2023 to pursue diversified global insurance investment opportunities.

Deepening a Global Insurance Investment Strategy

Japan Post Insurance’s latest move supports its broader strategy to diversify revenue and strengthen its position in international markets. The investment highlights Global Atlantic and KKR’s proven ability to deliver tailored asset management and reinsurance solutions across global markets. “This agreement is a key phase in our strategic partnership with KKR and Global Atlantic,” said Kunio Tanigaki, President and CEO of Japan Post Insurance.

Tanigaki added that the alliance has matured over two years, building mutual trust and shared interest in the U.S. annuity and global reinsurance markets. He noted the vehicle would allow Japan Post Insurance to capture revenue from robust sectors while maintaining minimal short-term financial impact. Japan Post Insurance will disclose any changes to its performance outlook if this investment impacts its fiscal 2025–26 earnings.

Global Growth Outlook for KKR and Global Atlantic

KKR Co-CEOs Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall expressed pride in strengthening their relationship with Japan Post Insurance through this expanded partnership. They said the investment reflects the scale and credibility of their global insurance investment platform and shared growth commitment.

Global Atlantic Co-Heads Billy Butcher and Manu Sareen echoed that sentiment, noting this partnership accelerates growth in the U.S., Japan, and beyond. They emphasized how this collaboration will serve the evolving needs of policyholders, partners, and institutional investors worldwide.
