As of the end of 2014 over $5.7 billion of assets were managed.[2] The firm is not a hedge fund, instead it tries to make money by making controlling investments in companies that experience a period of transition or need to make changes. KPS indicates that has been able to acquire non-core or divested assets from large corporations and turn them around into profitable entities that could be sold. KPS controlled companies employ more than 47,000 people in 26 countries.[2] The company has its headquarter in New York City. It was founded in 1991 by Eugene Keilin, Michael Psaros and David Shapiro, hence the name.[3] The Financial Times noted that while private equity firms often have a bad reputation for stripping assets and slashing jobs when buying distressed companies, KPS has established a reputation for constructive relationships with the workforce and their unions.[4] In 2009 Psaros estimated that he had saved about 20,000 jobs.[4] Unions also have appreciated that KPS uses little or no debt in its deals and have called in KPS to save companies.[4] The following (incomplete) list includes major companies that are or had been controlled by KPS:[2]
