Advisory Services
MCMA provides discretionary portfolio management and investment advisory services to pooled
investment vehicles, that focus on investing in private credit markets across various strategies including
direct lending, asset based lending, specialty finance, opportunistic lending, real estate lending, structured
credit and equity primarily in North America that require financing to fund a corporate event such as a
buyout, recapitalization, ownership transfer, sourcing of expansion and growth capital or refinancing.
MCMA primarily pursues transactions in such middle market companies by investing in senior and junior
secured and unsecured loans, unitranche loans and other asset-based loans, leasing loans, receivables loans,
consumer loans, mezzanine loans, stressed and distressed
debt, investment and non-investment grade credit,
structured debt and equity, warehouse loan facilities, securitized debt and subordinated notes of
collateralized loan obligations and other types of securitized debt tranches.
As stated above, MCMA provides discretionary portfolio management and investment advisory services to
pooled investment vehicles and/or SIFs whose investors include large institutions and high net worth
individuals, including but not limited to, state and local pensions, corporate pensions, endowments and
foundations, insurance companies, regional banks and family offices. Such privately offered pooled
investment vehicles include collateralized loan obligations (the “CLO Funds”), private investment funds,
single investor funds SIFs and other U.S. and non-U.S. structured investment vehicles (collectively, the
“Private Funds”). The CLO Funds and the Private Funds are collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”
or the “Clients”.
Pursuant to an investment management agreement, collateral management agreement or other similar
governing agreement (the “Management Agreement”), each Fund’s respective general partner or director
(the “General Partner”), has engaged MCMA to provide origination, acquisition, asset management, and
other administrative services to each respective Fund in accordance with each Fund’s respective private
placement memorandum, offering memorandum, offering circular, limited partnership agreement,
indenture or other similar disclosure and governing documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”).
MCMA’s investment advisory services consist of, but are not limited to, managing each Fund’s portfolio of
investments, including sourcing, selecting, and determining investments in each Fund, monitoring
investments by each Fund and executing transactions on behalf of each Fund in accordance with the
investment objectives, policies and guidelines set forth in each respective Fund’s Governing Documents.
Accordingly, MCMA’s investment advisory services to the Funds is not tailored to the individualized needs
or objectives of any particular Fund investor. An investment in a Fund by an investor does not, in and of
itself, create an advisory relationship between the investor and MCMA. Investors are not permitted to
impose restrictions or limitations on the management of any Fund. The General Partner of a Fund reserves
the right to enter into side letter agreements or arrangements with one or more investors in a Fund that alter,
modify or change the terms of the interests held by such investors.
Information about each Fund, and the particular investment objectives, strategies, restrictions, guidelines
and risks associated with an investment, is described in each respective Fund’s Governing Documents,
which are made available to investors only through MCMA or another authorized party. Since MCMA
does not provide individualized advice to investors (and an investment in a Fund does not, in and of itself,
create an advisory relationship between the investor and MCMA), investors must consider whether a
particular Fund meets their investment objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing.
MCMA has, and may in the future, tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of single investor
fund (“SIF”). MCMA may agree with a SIF to manage such SIF’s assets against a particular benchmark or
pursuant to an investment management agreement, which include provisions related to management fees,
investment strategy, investment guidelines, termination rights, proxy voting and sub-adviser, if applicable.
SIFs should be aware, however, that the aforementioned restrictions can limit MCMA’s ability to act on
behalf of a SIF and as a result, the SIF’s performance may differ from and may be less successful than that
of other Clients’ accounts managed by MCMA which are not subject to such restrictions.
Prospective clients and prospective client investors must consider whether a particular MCMA advisory
relationship is appropriate for their own circumstances based on all relevant factors including, but not limited
to, the prospective client’s own investment objectives, liquidity requirements, tax situation and risk
tolerance. Prospective clients are strongly encouraged to undertake appropriate due diligence including, but
not limited to, a review of Governing Documents relating to the proposed investment program for the SIF
and to investigate additional details about MCMA’s investment strategies, methods of analysis and related
risks, before making an investment decision or committing to a service provided by MCMA. See
Item 8 –
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss of this Brochure for a more detailed discussion
on investment strategies and the risks involved with such strategies.
ALL DISCUSSION OF THE FUNDS IN THIS BROCHURE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ITS INVESTMENTS, THE STRATEGIES USED IN MANAGING THE FUNDS, AND
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FACED BY MCMA IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE
TO THE RESPECTIVE FUND’S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS.

Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023 MCMA managed approximately $15,550,403,331 of regulatory assets under
management, of which all were on a discretionary basis, and none were on a non-discretionary basis. The
SEC has adopted a uniform method for advisers to calculate assets under management for regulatory
purposes which it refers to as an adviser’s “regulatory assets under management.” Regulatory assets under
management are generally an adviser’s gross assets, i.e., assets under management without deduction for
outstanding indebtedness or other accrued but unpaid liabilities. MCMA reports its regulatory assets under
management in Item 5 of Part 1 of Form ADV which you can find at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
