"We review nearly 1,000 companies a year, and then select just 8-10," explains Steve Klinsky, founder and CEO of New Mountain Capital. "Our criteria have become increasingly stringent over time. Each investment must first answer a key question: is it secure enough for us to double our stake, even if the economic environment deteriorates?"
A network of global investors
New Mountain Capital 's investor profile has broadened considerably over the past two decades. Initially, the firm's main investors were US pension funds, such as the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and the Pennsylvania State Pension Fund, which continue to be among its long-term partners**.
Today, the Fund manager—which is included in the Vintage FPCI Altaroc Odyssey portfolio and is part of the investment universe for the Vintage FPCI Altaroc Odyssey portfolio—has attracted more than 350 investors from a wide range of backgrounds, including European institutions, Canadian sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and institutional investors from Asia and the Middle East**. “We have strengthened our international presence by successively launching new funds,” Klinsky notes. “More and more family offices, now operating with the same rigor as institutions, are joining our investor base.”
This geographic and typological diversification provides New Mountain with a high degree of stability and an enhanced ability to raise funds rapidly, while meeting the specific expectations of its various financial partners.
