Institutional investors are currently favoring Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW) and KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR) as they anticipate interest rate reductions later this year. Over the past 12 months, institutions have invested more than $22.7 billion into Schwab, with a notable inflow of $8.7 billion in Q1 alone. Schwab boasts a client base exceeding 37 million and total assets exceeding $10 trillion.
Meanwhile, KKR has raised over $6.5 billion for a new private credit fund and has seen over $12 billion in institutional capital flow into its shares this past year, with $11 billion of that occurring in the previous three quarters. This institutional interest indicates a bullish outlook for both companies despite potential impacts from lowering interest rates.
