Stated investment criteria

What KSL Capital Partners LLC says it buys

Read from KSL Capital Partners LLC’s own website in August 2026. This is what the firm says it buys, not what anyone has recorded it buying, and figures are shown in the currency the firm itself used - nothing here is converted. Every line links to the page it was read from.

People listed on its team page51

A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. The team figure counts the people the firm shows on one team page, so it is a floor rather than a headcount: firms that split their team across tabs or load it in pages will read low. Nothing here is a commitment by KSL Capital Partners LLC to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.

SEC filings

What KSL Capital Partners LLC 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 filed43
Total capital raised$19bn
Largest single vehicle$2.4bn
Filing history2013 to 2024
Smallest accepted commitment$1k
Filed fromCOLORADO

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.
