CORRECTED-Kroll CEO comfortable with private ownership, El Confidencial reports

Changes headline and lead to say CEO is comfortable with private ownership, not that he was planning to list its shares

MADRID, June 23 (Reuters) - The CEO of New York-based financial service company Kroll, Jacob Silverman, is comfortable with private equity fund ownership, he said in an interview published by Madrid news website El Confidencial on Monday.

Although there are no concrete plans on the table, he said future options include going public again, El Confidencial reported.

"We would be a much better listed company now than we were 15 years ago," he was quoted as saying.

A group of investors led by private equity funds Further Global and Stone Point Capital bought Kroll, which was previously known as Duff & Phelps, for $4.2 billion in 2020.

The two funds did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
