# Kayne Anderson

> Kayne Anderson is a Los Angeles-based alternative investment manager founded in 1984 by Richard Kayne and John Anderson. It runs roughly $41 billion across four disciplines - energy infrastructure, energy private equity, private credit, and real estate - by hunting narrow, cash-flow-heavy corners of the market that bigger firms overlook: upstream oil and gas wells, self-storage units, student apartments, and senior housing. Its pitch to institutions and wealthy families is simple: niche knowledge plus deal-sourcing advantages produce steadier, risk-adjusted returns.
