While MCP is an independent investment firm owned by its principals, it shares a tight strategic relationship with The Monitor Group. We believe that our affiliation with Monitor provides us with a differentiated investment strategy on three fronts:

We identify a substantial number of potential investments through Monitor’s business relationships and through initiatives to target industries where Monitor has significant knowledge and expertise.

We utilize Monitor’s intellectual capital and skills to assist us in our evaluation of potential investment opportunities.

In some circumstances, we can apply Monitor’s extensive consulting resources to add value to portfolio companies after acquisition.
