This is where KYC and AML checks come in.
Other factors for who to let in or not may include - is the LP a strategic partner beyond just financial capital (co-invest, warehousing, etc.), are they a "stamp of approval", how much $ are they bringing in, can they scale over time with the firm as AUM increases, are they a respected thought partner / do they have some technical or sector expertise, are they a LT investor or not, do you think they'll be a huge pain in the ass, prior relationship or not, etc. Then of course GPs can make their decisions on alignment of values, not wanting to take capital from a certain country, things like that.
To your last point on alignment of values, have you seen any funds publish these decisions anywhere? I'd imagine it would be a good PR move for some to do so.
No they don't publish it because it makes it harder to change their stance if they have an attractive potential LP, there's also not typically a set list.
From a PR standpoint I don't see how it would be a good move? They're going to say we don't take money from terrorists, money launderers or North Korea? Saying that is just odd
