About The Fund

The firm operates globally, with a footprint across North America and Europe, including offices in Denver, Stamford, and London. KSL is driven by their extensive operational experience as they were founded by investment professionals who were operators first. This operational perspective is a fundamental part of their firm's DNA. KSL's investment strategies are built on a foundation of three complementary but distinct approaches: equity, credit, and tactical opportunities. They manage assets totaling approximately $23 billion and have invested in over 165 businesses. Their investment philosophy revolves around identifying and investing in exceptional Travel & Leisure businesses, and they invest exclusively in businesses where they see potential to significantly influence the company's trajectory and drive growth. Their equity investments are largely underpinned by hard assets, and they have a diverse team that brings unique insights to their investment strategies. They also emphasize responsible stewardship and the long-term attractiveness of their businesses to deliver better outcomes for all stakeholders, including the communities where they operate. With values that define their character and culture, KSL Capital Partners aims to be the world's most successful and respected Travel & Leisure investor, providing strategic capital that helps create unforgettable experiences for guests, employees, partners, and investors alike.
