Exhibit 99.1
Net Asset Value
We calculate net asset value per share in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by our board of directors. Our transactional net asset value (“Transactional Net Asset Value”) is the price at which we sell and repurchase our shares. Our GAAP net asset value (“GAAP Net Asset Value”) is our net asset value determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The following tables include the net asset value of outstanding shares as of December 31, 2023 and as of September 30, 2023. The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our Transactional Net Asset Value as of December 31, 2023 and as of September 30, 2023 ($ in thousands, except shares):

(1) | Cost of $703,790 as of December 31, 2023 and $107,863 as of September 30, 2023. |
(2) | On December 20, 2023, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of KKR Private Equity Conglomerate LLC (the “Company”) entered into an unsecured, uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $300 million with KKR Alternative Assets LLC, an affiliate of the Company.

(3) | Shareholder servicing fees apply only to Class S, Class U, Class D, Class R-S, Class R-U and Class R-D shares. Distribution fees apply only to Class S, Class U, Class R-S and Class R-U shares. For purposes of Transactional Net Asset Value, we recognize shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees as a reduction to Transactional Net Asset Value on a monthly basis as such fees are accrued. For purposes of GAAP Net Asset Value, we accrue the cost of the shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees, as applicable, for the estimated life of the shares as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class U, Class D, Class R-S, Class R-U and Class R-D shares. As of December 31, 2023, we have accrued under GAAP $40,315 of shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees payable to the dealer manager related to the Class R-U shares sold. As of September 30, 2023, we accrued under GAAP $20,651 of shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees payable to the dealer manager related to the Class R-U shares sold. |

(1) | In determining the inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies, and company-specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. The Company’s manager (the “Manager”) has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments. “LTM” means Last Twelve Months. |
(2) | Inputs are weighted based on fair value of the investments included in the range. |
The Manager is ultimately responsible for our net asset value calculations.
Valuations involve subjective judgments and may not accurately reflect realizable value. The assumptions above are determined by the Manager and reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. A change in these assumptions or factors would impact the calculation of the value of our assets. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our asset values:
| | | | Portfolio Company Values as of December 31, 2023 | | | Portfolio Company Values as of September 30, 2023 | |
Weighted Average Cost of Capital | | 0.25% decrease | | | +0.60 | % | | | +0.0 | % |
| | 0.25% increase | | | -0.56 | % | | | -0.0 | % |
