Investment Approach

MSP’s investment strategy is predicated on taking a flexible partnership approach to produce long-term value for investors without artificial investment horizons. The following tenets are core to MSP’s investment philosophy.

  • Long-Term Vision

    We are not a traditional private equity fund and are not restricted by artificial time horizons or forced rates of return.

  • Flexible Strategic Mandate

    We assess opportunities on a case-by-case basis and target situations where there exist specific opportunities to add value.

  • Collaborative Partnership

    The size and strength of our team allows us to maximize operational flexibility, from direct management involvement to board-level advisory.

  • Patient & Aligned Capital

    Our mission is to form trusting, long-term relationships with each of our partners and act as thoughtful and prudent stewards of the businesses we oversee.

  • Legacy is a Priority

    We seek to preserve the previous owner’s legacy and ensure that the company’s reputation, culture, employees, and customers are protected going forward.
