Thanks for the summation Muyuan of all of my possibilities I have no problem supporting them even now. The larger point is that at least they are creative possibilities. before you deliver your criticism, you ought to research some possibilities yourself IMO

Edited Transcript of KKR earnings conference call or presentation 11-Feb-16 3:00pm GMT

Chris Kotowski, Oppenheimer & Co. - Analyst [35]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, you highlighted WMIH in this release, and I'm wondering -- as a balance sheet investment -- and I'm wondering is that conceived of as a vehicle for investing or co-investing in ordinary private equity type investment, or is that a strategic tool for a strategic parent company investments, or how -- what should we expect to see there?

Scott Nuttall, KKR & Co. L.P. - Global Head of Capital and Asset Management [36]

Sure, Chris. It's a great question. So WMIH is actually a NASDAQ traded entity and think of it this way. It is the old holding company of Washington Mutual, which has a meaningful NOL. And so -- and there's lots of public disclosure that that entity puts out, so there's lots that you could find out about it. But the punchline from a KKR standpoint is we view it as a very interesting tax-advantaged vehicle for us to make some kind of strategic acquisition for KKR in the financial space or otherwise through that vehicle where we would have an ownership position in it.

So in effect, we've got a tax-advantaged vehicle through which we have the option of going and doing something interesting with balance sheet capital. So I would think that almost as a tax-advantaged SPAC that we can use to go do some interesting things. It's not a client account, to be clear. It's actually a public company.

*Edited - I don't believe KKR is calling WMIH a SPAC, just similar to one.

So, as I nowhere found the explicit and express designation of "WMIH is KKR's SPAC" I'd like to invite everybody interested once more to present a link from a serious source about this allegation to me, because after all I do not believe that WMIH is a SPAC for KKR only !
