New Mountain Capital (“New Mountain”) is an alternative investment manager with private equity, credit, public equity and net lease strategies. New Mountain’s aggregate assets under management total more than $28 billion across all investment strategies.[1] Since inception, New Mountain has raised over $17 billion of committed capital across five private equity funds and is currently raising its sixth fund. New Mountain was founded in 1999 by Steven B. Klinsky and today has over 150 employees, 100 of which are investment professionals.
New Mountain’s efforts emphasize intensive fundamental research and a focus on growth and investor “value added,” rather than reliance on excessive risk, as the best path to high and consistent long-term returns. New Mountain has proactively developed particular research and operational expertise in carefully selected “defensive growth” niches of healthcare, software, business services, information and data, logistics, specialty chemicals, federal services, financial services, and environmental services. New Mountain Capital works systematically to establish expertise in additional sectors over time.
Strategies
New Mountain’s private equity strategy seeks to acquire the highest quality leaders in carefully selected “defensive growth” industries, and then build those businesses. New Mountain can acquire majority control equity positions through its private equity flagship funds, or minority equity positions through its strategic equity strategy.
New Mountain manages credit investments through New Mountain Finance Corporation, a closed-end investment company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker: NMFC) and several private credit strategies. New Mountain Capital’s credit strategies seek to generate current income and capital appreciation through investments in debt securities at all levels of the capital structure.
New Mountain manages public equity portfolios through New Mountain Vantage Advisers (“Vantage”), which are designed to apply New Mountain's established strengths as an acquirer and builder of businesses toward non-control positions in the U.S. public equity markets generally.
New Mountain’s Net Lease strategy seeks to acquire operationally critical real estate assets from sponsor-backed companies in “defensive growth” industries.
Social Dashboard
Each year New Mountain Capital releases its “Social Dashboard” Report.[2] In the latest release, New Mountain reported that it had added or created over 46,000 jobs at New Mountain private equity portfolio companies. Additionally, New Mountain portfolio companies spent approximately $5.3 billion in aggregate on research and development, software spending and capital expenditures. On average, New Mountain's portfolio companies pay above the median U.S. income. New Mountain Capital has never had a bankruptcy or debt payment default as it relates to private equity portfolio companies and has generated around $37 billion of total gains.[3]
