FS KKR Capital told investors its credit portfolio was getting stronger. According to the complaint, non-accrual problems were supposedly under control. Executives pointed to portfolio stability, attractive distributions, and improving credit metrics.
Shareholders now allege the cracks were already spreading.
From May 2024 through early 2025, FS KKR repeatedly claimed it was improving portfolio quality and addressing troubled investments. The lawsuit alleges the company pointed to falling non-accrual rates and portfolio stability as signs things were working.
Then in August 2025, the alleged truth began to emerge. FS KKR revealed major losses tied to struggling portfolio companies like Production Resource Group and 48forty. Net asset value dropped more than 6% in one quarter, and the stock fell about 8%.
Then, shareholders allege things got worse.
In February 2026, the company acknowledged more troubled investments were weighing on performance, slashed its dividend from $0.70 to $0.48, and acknowledged non-accrual rates were above industry averages.
Investors rushed for the exits. The stock crashed another 15%.
Now, shareholders are learning more about the lawsuit.
