Total Operating Earnings ("TOE") - the sum of Fee Related Earnings, Insurance Operating Earnings and Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings - represents the more durable and recurring portion of KKR's total segment earnings
TOE increased 32% over the last 12 months primarily driven by the growth in Fee Related Earnings. Over time, we expect Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings to contribute more meaningfully to Total Operating Earnings
