Industrials to KSL Capital?

Going to be an analyst in the industrials group at top bb starting this summer. With me covering industrials, is it relatively possible to recruit at a firm like KSL? Personally, working with assets like golf and ski resorts would be a dream of mine, but I am not sure how feasible this is if I’m not coming from a REGL group.

Also, does anyone know if they participate in on-cycle recruiting of off and what headhunter they use

Thanks in advance

Don’t know much about them, but SG Partners reached out to me recently about a role with them, so guessing they handle all the recruiting. I looked at their team profiles at that time and nearly everyone was from RGL groups. I’m sure it’s not an impossible hurdle to overcome but would likely need to have some clear reason apart from “resorts and golf courses sounds sweet” (no offense).

I interviewed with them a few years back coming from a BB industrials group as well. Made it to the super day but didn't get the offer. When I talked with a few of they guys there, they said they certainly focus on REGL, but consider everybody.

My two cents is that if you blow them out of the water you'll be fine, but if there's a close call between you and a REGL kid you're probably not getting the nod.

I will say DEFINITELY work on real estate models if you want to take serious run. I breezed through them thinking they weren't all that and got smacked in the face pretty hard during the in person model test.

Feel free to PM if you want to chat more.
