Why We Invest In
Travel & Leisure
Three complimentary strategies
We identify and invest in exceptional businesses in the Travel & Leisure sectors through complementary equity, private credit and tactical opportunities strategies. Our three strategies allow us to successfully invest across the risk spectrum and through market cycles.
This concentrated approach has made us an industry leader for over 30 years. Our integrated global platform unites our operational and market knowledge with our extensive network of long-standing relationships to drive KSL's decision-making process.

Equity
KSL’s equity team is responsible for identifying and investing in exceptional businesses. Together with our dedicated Strategic Operating Team, we work collaboratively with management at each portfolio company to formulate and execute a comprehensive and ambitious business plan to support both organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Private Credit
KSL’s dedicated credit team seeks opportunities to generate returns through current income with a focus on downside protection and targets high-quality assets in high barrier-to-entry markets. We take a collaborative approach as a strategic partner, letting borrowers and other lenders benefit from our industry-leading knowledge and capabilities to develop strong, long-term relationships while seeking to generate superior returns for our investors.

Benefitting from decades of experience, we strive to identify new opportunities around the world, seeking to deliver strong returns for our stakeholders and benefiting the communities in which we invest and the employees who make these investments possible.”
