KAYNE ANDERSON CAPITAL ADVISORS LP


Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“KACALP” or the “Firm”) has engaged in the investment advisory business since its inception in 1984, during which time it has been registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. KACALP is owned by its employees (other than interests owned by a few former (retired) employees and by the estate of our late co‐founder, John Anderson). Richard Kayne, our Founder and Co‐Chairman, through his majority ownership of Kayne Anderson Investment Management, Inc. and direct ownership interests in the Firm, is the majority owner of KACALP. The remaining interests are owned by 50 limited partners including our Executive Committee, which consists of Michael Levitt (Chief Executive Officer), Paul Blank (Chief Operating Officer) and Al Rabil (CEO and Managing Partner of Kayne Anderson Real Estate). As of February 28, 2020, KACALP’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) is approximately $28.05 billion (which amount excludes approximately $3.40 billion managed by KACALP affiliates). AUM is defined as the securities portfolios for which KACALP provides continuous and regular supervisory or management services. KACALP engages in alternative investing primarily through private pooled vehicles (except as described below), and to a lesser extent separate accounts and sub‐advisory relationships. KACALP focuses on generating returns across a variety of strategies, which include investing in (1) the public equity and credit of energy infrastructure companies, (2) private equity high growth middle market midstream and upstream oil and gas companies, (3) private and public renewable infrastructure companies, (4) private energy income investing in mature, long‐life oil and gas assets, (5) private middle market credit, (6) liquid credit investing in high yield bonds and bank loans (including collateralized loan obligations or “CLOs”), (7) specialized real estate assets (primarily focused on medical office, senior living facilities and student housing) and commercial debt collateralized by such assets, and (8) structured, non‐control investments in high‐growth, lower middle market tech‐enabled companies. KACALP manages assets for institutional investors, family offices, high‐net‐worth and retail clients and employs approximately 328 employees in six offices across the United States. KACALP has three affiliated investment adviser subsidiaries that are each separately registered with the SEC. More detail on each of these advisers can be found in Item 10. On January 16, 2020, Kayne Anderson Real Estate (“KA Real Estate”), the real estate investment platform of KACALP, entered into a strategic partnership with AIMS Petershill, an investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. AIMS Petershill’s strategic, minority investment of 20% in KA Real Estate is passive. KA Real Estate will continue to maintain control of the business with no changes to management. The transaction facilitates the continued growth of KA Real Estate and the build‐out of the real estate platform.
Privately Offered Pooled Investment Vehicles
KACALP serves as investment adviser to privately offered pooled investment vehicles formed as limited partnerships or limited liability companies (where KACALP or a controlled subsidiary is the general partner or manager), or offshore corporations. KACALP’s pooled investment vehicles are available only to investors who are “accredited investors” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and “qualified clients” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), as amended. In most cases, investors must also be “qualified purchasers” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. These pooled investment vehicles are not made available to the general public and are not registered investment companies. KACALP’s private pooled investment vehicles are managed by KACALP (or a controlled subsidiary) in its sole discretion. KACALP’s private pooled investment vehicles include: (i) redeemable funds, where capital contributions and withdrawals are permitted at stated intervals (generally monthly or quarterly) at then‐current net asset values, and (ii) lock‐up funds, where each limited partner makes an up‐front commitment to contribute a stated amount of capital as it is called by KACALP (or a controlled subsidiary) for investment, and generally may not withdraw capital prior to the end of the stated multi‐year term of the fund. Redeemable Funds Our redeemable funds seek to generate attractive risk‐adjusted absolute returns primarily through equity and debt investments (high yield bonds and bank loans). Generally speaking, our redeemable funds are intended to operate without the use of sustained leverage (often obtained through prime brokerage financing). Certain funds may also employ hedging strategies to protect against company, market, foreign currency, and interest rate risk by utilizing direct issuer shorts, U.S. Treasury and ETF shorts, options, index ETFs, total return and credit default swaps, and foreign currency forwards.

As of March 2020, our active redeemable funds include: Energy Infrastructure Marketable Securities The majority of KACALP’s redeemable funds invest in the equity and debt securities of companies engaged in the midstream sector, including master limited partnerships (MLPs) and related corporations, and in other energy‐related industries such as marine transportation, utilities and renewables (such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass power). These funds invest primarily in equities, debt (high yield bonds and bank loans), or a blend of the two, and incorporate a variety of strategies including long‐only and hedging strategies. Tradeable Credit KACALP’s tradeable credit business focuses on two primary strategies: (i) investing in the debt of midstream energy and infrastructure issuers; and (ii) floating‐rate senior secured bank loans of non‐ investment grade corporations across a diversified array of industries. These funds may employ hedging and the use of leverage. Internal Fund‐of‐Fund Investments Kayne Anderson Non‐Traditional Investment, L.P. (“KANTI”) is designed to invest a significant portion of its assets in KACALP’s lock‐up funds. Certain other of our redeemable funds may also invest in KACALP’s lock‐up funds where such investment is consistent with the investment strategy of the investing redeemable fund. In cases where the redeemable fund pays management fees and carried interest charged by the lock‐up funds, the redeemable funds do not charge any fees on the amounts so invested. Core Real Estate Kayne Anderson Core Real Estate, L.P. (“KACORE”) invests in stabilized real estate portfolios and properties in alternative asset classes, such as medical office, senior housing, student housing and self‐ storage. The fund utilizes a modest amount of leverage and is targeting a 9‐10% net IRR and 5‐6% current yield. Limited partners in KACALP’s redeemable funds may invest or withdraw (entirely or partially) on either a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the fund, subject in some cases to a minimum investment period. Withdrawing partners must provide KACALP with proper advance written notice, which may be anywhere from 10 to 30 days depending on the fund and, in some cases, on the timing of the limited partner’s entry into the fund. Lock‐up Funds KACALP’s lock‐up funds are single‐strategy funds engaged in making private investments in (1) private oil and gas companies; (2) the equity and debt of medical office, senior living, student housing and other specialized real estate assets; (3) private investments in renewable infrastructure, with a particular focus on utility‐scale solar; (4) private lending to middle‐market companies; and (5) growth equity in lower middle market companies. These funds are designed to provide capital to enable portfolio companies to fund strategic opportunities for internal or external growth and thereby build value for fund holdings, or in the case of real estate investments, to acquire and improve such assets. As of March 2020, our active Lock‐up Funds include: Energy Private Equity KACALP’s traditional energy private equity strategies focus on acquiring and developing investments in North American middle market oil and gas companies. The funds seek to generate equity returns by funding high‐quality management teams with established track records and basin‐specific focus to target underexploited opportunities with attractive upside potential and asymmetric risk/return profiles.

KACALP’s energy income strategy focuses on funding high‐quality management teams to acquire large, long‐life oil and gas assets (initially natural gas) located in onshore North America that contain a meaningful percentage of proved developed producing reserves generating cash distributions and the remainder in low‐risk development drilling activities. Specialty Real Estate KACALP’s opportunistic real estate equity funds invest primarily in real estate sectors that are highly fragmented, demonstrate supply shortfalls because of capital constraints and strong demand growth, and have proven historical performance during all market cycles. These sectors include medical office properties, senior living facilities and student housing. KACALP’s core open‐end real estate strategy invests in core investments in real estate alternative asset classes focusing on medical office, senior housing, student housing and self‐storage. KACALP’s real estate debt strategy invests in commercial real estate debt and securities, with a focus on Freddie Mac B‐Pieces and loans originated directly by one or more joint venture partners, in the targeted sectors of medical office, senior housing, student housing, multifamily units and self‐storage.

Middle Market Credit KACALP’s established, integrated private credit platform is focused on traditional middle market companies ($10‐50 million in EBITDA). The portfolio companies are in niche‐dominant sectors with strong cash flows, providing quarterly liquidity and short duration investments, including senior and unitranche investments. We have also launched an opportunistic investment strategy focused on complex, middle market corporate credit and unique, idiosyncratic opportunities sourced across KACALP’s broader investment platform.

Growth Equity The growth private equity strategy directly sources capital (investment size typically ranges from $10 to $50 million) for lower middle market growth companies in attractive industry niches with efficient business models. These non‐control investments are focused on service businesses that use proprietary technology to solve established challenges within industry niches.

Collateralized Loan Obligations As of February 28, 2020, KACALP (or an affiliate) has issued seven CLOs with approximately $2.19 billion in assets. KACALP has also formed two private commingled funds designed to invest in both the equity of Kayne managed CLOs as well as the equity and debt of third‐party CLO managers.

Investments in the lock‐up funds are permitted only at scheduled fund closings. As portfolio holdings are sold in a lock‐up fund, the proceeds realized (as well as cash interest and dividends received) are generally distributed to limited partners. However, limited partners in these funds generally may not otherwise reduce or withdraw their investments until the fund’s maturity without the consent of KACALP (or a controlled subsidiary) in its capacity as general partner. Such consent, if given, may require that the withdrawing limited partner be penalized for such early withdrawal.
Separate Accounts and Investment Companies
In addition to managing the investment vehicles described above, KACALP serves as investment adviser or sub‐ advisor to separate accounts for institutional clients and registered investment companies. KACALP may act in such a capacity under an investment advisory agreement or, in a limited number of instances, as the manager of a joint venture limited liability company or limited partnership. These accounts invest in the same strategies generally employed by one or more of KACALP’s pooled investment vehicles, but generally have modified investment guidelines that are tailored to the individual objectives of the client. KACALP does not participate directly in any wrap‐fee programs. However, KACALP acts as a sub‐advisor to a traditional wrap‐program manager, and, in such role, it manages a pool of capital for accounts under a commercial mortgage‐backed security strategy (this relationship is in the process of winding down).
Customized Advisory Services
A certain long‐time client who is a sophisticated high‐net worth investor has requested that KACALP provide certain investment advisory services. As a result, KACALP has engaged a former employee to serve in a consulting capacity and provide such services to this client. KACALP has not, and will not solicit such business and does not collect fees on such business. All fees earned are paid to such consultant or used to offset any expenses incurred by KACALP. KACALP does not in any way incentivize such consultant to promote KACALP‐managed products. KACALP does not reasonably expect to enter into any new arrangements of a similar nature. please register to get more info
