SEC filings
What Kester Capital has raised
From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.
| Vehicles filed | 2 |
| Total capital raised | $417m |
| Largest single vehicle | $363m |
| Filing history | 2023 to 2025 |
| Smallest accepted commitment | None stated |
| Filed from | UNITED KINGDOM |
Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.
Regulatory record
How Kester Capital is registered
Registered with the SEC as an investment adviser, and incorporated in the United Kingdom.

An exempt reporting adviser is not required to report regulatory assets under management, so the blank above means the question was not asked rather than that the answer is unknown. Where a figure exists it is the gross asset value of the private funds the firm advises, which is a different and usually larger measure.
