KPS Raises ~10B Fund. Thoughts?

Saw they raised a 9.7B monster fund. How do they compete vs. SVP, Oaktree SS, and other distressed PE funds?

Any insight into these types of funds would be great.

Looking from the previous associates, it seems top groups don't come to this fund... is there a reason why?
