PHILOSOPHY
Fiduciary Commitment
MCP works as a fiduciary to deliver customized portfolios of hedge funds that are suitable for our clients with a specific focus on underlying managers that we believe meet a high ethical standard.
Objectives
Diversified exposure to hedge funds as well as targeted, opportunistic portfolios to capitalize on client-specific asset allocation goals. Portfolios are actively managed to reflect the unique risk, return, and liquidity preferences that are defined by our clients.
Transparency
MCP values transparency. We seek to provide clients with enhanced insight and continuous monitoring by sharing our deep investment knowledge through real-time global client service and superior technology.
Capital Preservation
Protecting capital is paramount. MCP recognizes that managers can react more quickly to adverse market environments and we, therefore, favor those who emphasize a disciplined risk management process and have demonstrated an ability to protect capital during periods of market stress.
Fundamental Research
MCP emphasizes a bottom-up, fundamental approach to hedge fund investing that permeates the manager selection, portfolio construction, and risk management functions. This bottom up process is merged with the strategic and tactical top down views of the Portfolio Strategy sub-committee to capitalize on timely opportunities and avoid potential risks.
Focus on Client
MCP collaborates with clients to construct customized portfolios with solution focused approach. Assessing investor’s objectives and constraints, we can assist clients in capturing the desired outcome in the ever-changing financial world.
