STRATEGY
SUMMARY
MCP's investment philosophy is based on a forward-looking quality approach, focusing on innovative, lesser-known companies in emerging and frontier markets. The team seeks to identify companies with strong financial characteristics, sustainable earnings and competitive advantages. Rather than adhering to traditional value or growth classifications, MCP employs an unconstrained, benchmark-agnostic strategy known as Quality at a Reasonable Price (QARP).
This approach allows the team to identify and capitalise on unique investment opportunities across the market spectrum, typically targeting companies with market capitalisations ranging from $400 million to $20 billion.
MCP's investment philosophy emphasises active ownership, working closely with company management to drive operational and sustainability improvements with the aim of driving re-ratings and unlocking additional sources of alpha.
