Our Approach
CMP partners with founders and management teams in sectors we know well, applying sophisticated, time-tested value creation resources and practices to help companies outperform their plans and create value for all stakeholders.
Sector Expertise We are sector-focused, specialist investors. Our target markets are opaque, acronym-intensive landscapes with high levels of complexity and expansive layers of regulation. Investment success in these esoteric markets requires deep specialization gained through experience.
Deep Network We pair our investment experience with a network of sophisticated executives, subject matter and value creation experts to drive growth, operational improvements, and value creation.
Support Management We are investors, not operators. We serve as a “force multiplier” for our management teams to assist in value creation.
Clear Investment Strategy
CMP partners with management teams in sectors where our principals have invested for 25+ years. Our partnership structure allows us to be quick and decisive, and our team has significant personal capital committed to promote alignment with management teams.
Differentiated Network Built Over 70+ Years in Target Markets
CMP and our portfolio companies benefit from the “network effect” of 70+ years of investment experience and cultivated executive relationships in our target markets. Our platform includes five operating partners and a network of 50+ executives and subject matter experts with whom we have prior working experience.
The network effects that result from our principals’ investment experience, combined with our trusted executive resources is an important differentiator and a key source of expert insights and portfolio company value creation.
Focus on Value Creation
CMP invests in opportunities where we can drive transformational change and value creation. We leverage our access to a deep network of veteran CEOs, other C-suite executives, functional luminaries, and subject-matter experts to help drive transformation.
Each investment is unique and requires bespoke value creation plans. Common levers we deploy include:
- Strategic Growth and Business Development Focus
- Human Capital Initiatives
- Operational Improvements
- Business Model Optimization
- Acquisition Advisory and Capital
