Firm Overview
CCMP Capital Advisors, LP (“CCMP Capital”) is a private equity firm that provides discretionary
investment management services to pooled investment vehicles in accordance with the investment
objectives, strategies and guidelines set forth in the relevant offering documents and partnership
agreements for each respective pooled investment vehicle. CCMP Capital advises pooled investment
vehicles for which affiliates of CCMP Capital serve as the general partner (“CCMP Clients” or the
“CCMP Advised Funds”). CCMP Capital from time to time also establishes other investment
vehicles as CCMP Clients for the purpose of purchasing one or more investments from another
CCMP Client (often where the selling CCMP Client is approaching the end of its term)
(“Continuation Vehicles”). For the purposes of this brochure, “CCMP Clients” and “CCMP Advised
Funds” shall be deemed to include “Continuation Vehicles”. To the extent that this Brochure
discusses investment activities engaged in by CCMP Capital, such activities are undertaken by
CCMP Capital as an investment adviser to the CCMP Clients and not for CCMP Capital’s own
account.
CCMP Capital was formed in August 2006 by investment professionals who had previously
managed the buyout and growth equity investment portfolio of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC. CCMP
Growth Advisors, LP (“CCMP Growth”) was formed in June 2022 as a successor to CCMP Capital
by certain investment professionals of CCMP Capital for new investment opportunities. CCMP
Growth, became a registered advisor on October 21, 2022. CCMP Capital’s primary investment
activity is making equity investments in privately owned companies or making equity investments
in publicly owned companies in connection with taking them private.
CCMP Capital focused on buyout and growth equity investments, primarily as the lead investor in
companies in the consumer, industrial, and healthcare sectors, primarily in North America.
Companies in which an investment is made through a pooled investment vehicle are known as
“portfolio companies”.
As a private equity firm, CCMP Capital seeks to create value in its portfolio companies by working
with management to implement operational enhancements and efficiencies. While CCMP Capital
primarily seeks to make control investments, on occasion it may make a minority investment where
it can exert a significant influence on management or secure appropriate corporate governance and
other shareholder protections. After a period of time, typically several years, CCMP Capital seeks to
sell the portfolio company privately or take the portfolio company public and
dispose of its shares
in the public markets. On occasion, CCMP Capital may cause a CCMP Client to hedge currency or
other risks, but only if the purpose of such hedging activity is related to a risk inherent in a portfolio
company investment. CCMP Capital does not engage in short selling.
CCMP Capital may also make private investments in public companies (“PIPE” transactions).
Additionally, certain CCMP Client may, make distressed debt investments (“Distressed
Investments”), generally in contemplation of taking a meaningful minority or control equity position
in a distressed company so as to be in a position to directly influence a restructuring such that holders
emerge from the restructuring in control of such company’s equity, by making direct investments in
distressed investment opportunities which meet the investment objectives of such CCMP Client and
subject to the limitations set forth in the partnership agreement for such CCMP Client. The risks and
conflicts related to investing in Distressed Investments are discussed in greater detail throughout this
Brochure and in the private placement memorandum (“PPM”) for such CCMP Client.
Investments for CCMP Clients are managed in accordance with the pooled investment vehicle’s
particular investment objectives, strategies and guidelines and are not tailored to the individualized
needs of any particular investor in the CCMP Client. Information about each CCMP Client, and the
particular investment objectives, strategies, guidelines and risks associated with an investment in a
CCMP Client, are described in the governing documents, including the PPM and limited partnership
agreement of each CCMP Client, which are made available to investors only through CCMP Capital
or another authorized party. Since CCMP Capital does not provide individualized advice to investors
in any CCMP Client (and an investment in a CCMP Client does not, in and of itself, create an
advisory relationship between the investor and CCMP Capital), investors must consider for
themselves whether an investment in a particular CCMP Client meets their investment objectives
and risk tolerance prior to investing.
CCMP Capital’s total regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2023, was
approximately $2,035,598,940 all of which is managed on a discretionary basis.
