KKR Q3 earnings down 60%

Earnings at the buyout giant drop as fee and investment incomes decreased and its compensation increased

KKR's third-quarter earnings dropped more than 60% as its private-equity portfolio didn't appreciate as much as in the year-earlier period, thus hurting its revenue.

Its economic net income--a figure that represents income from fees, gains on investments and investment income minus expenses--was at $317.3m for the third quarter, down from a pro forma $822.7m in the year-earlier period.
