Strategies

Built by Experience

Travel & Leisure investing is all we do. This concentrated approach has made us an industry leader for nearly 30 years. We are an integrated global platform that unites our operational and market knowledge with our extensive network of long-standing relationships – all connecting and driving KSL's underlying investments.

Equity

KSL’s global team of equity investment professionals and our dedicated Strategic Operating Team work collaboratively with each management team to formulate and execute a comprehensive and ambitous business plan.

Often, our first goal is to organically increase cash flow, while strategically looking at growth opportunities across development, ancillary revenue and, where appropriate, add-on acquisitions.

With a team of professionals that have come together across many disciplines, such as operations, finance, development, accounting and law, we employ an operator-directed approach to our investment decisions.

Private Credit

KSL’s dedicated credit team seeks opportunities to generate returns through current income with a focus on downside protection. We target high-quality assets in high barrier-to-entry markets.

Our exclusive Travel & Leisure focus enables us to more acutely and accurately understand a borrower’s business plan. As a result, we are able to provide solutions structured to accommodate a borrower's needs across a range of varying situations, from stabilized assets to full repositionings.

We do much more than lend capital: We take a collaborative approach as a strategic partner, letting borrowers and other lenders benefit from our industry-leading knowledge and capabilities.

Our ultimate goal is to develop strong, long-term relationships with our borrowers while seeking to generate superior returns for our investors.

Tactical Opportunities

KSL’s Tactical Opportunities team utilizes KSL's deep experience throughout multiple economic cycles. Our "Tac Opps" team provides solutions that fall outside our traditional Equity and Performing Credit mandates.

Tactical Opportunities forms relationships through both debt-like and equity-like structures. We believe that our depth and breadth of experience makes us the Travel & Leisure partner of choice for operators, while also generating superior investment results for investors.

Backed by the breadth of the firm, Tactical Opportunities leverages KSL's operational, structural, and geographic insight to form relationships that seek to generate attractive outcomes amidst complex market conditions.
