MCG's manager selection process is one of the strongest in the industry and a hallmark of our firm. Our Research group applies a rigorous and systematic screening process to determine which investment managers are best suited to manage our client’s assets for a particular mandate. Underpinning this selection process is MCG’s independence and objectivity. Free from conflicts of interest, MCG evaluates managers in the sole interests of our clients.
MCG’s manager search process relies on a variety of qualitative and quantitative factors. Fundamental data is available to MCG through a number of outside sources, but much of our analysis is performed on information collected through proprietary due diligence questionnaires and discussions directly with the managers. MCG research analysts and Consultants meet with hundreds of managers per year. New managers must pass through a series of rigorous steps in our due diligence process before being considered for a client search, and the candidates and analysis must also be reviewed by our Manager Search Committee before being presented to the client.
Our manager search process is never complete. After a manager is selected, we monitor the manager through additional due diligence questionnaires, calls and meetings. This continuous process helps to ensure that our clients have strong and qualified investment managers working on their behalf.
