Who and how we help
Unparalleled insight and understanding
In navigating unique and complex corporate situations, we narrow the gap between listed companies and their shareholders. With decades of experience, an independent viewpoint and a deep understanding of stakeholder interests, we facilitate efficient dialogue and optimal outcomes for all parties involved.
Professional Investors
As a trusted partner to some of the world’s largest hedge funds and institutional investment firms, we add significant value with intelligent insight into event-driven opportunities and any associated risks. Our priority is to make investment strategies more efficient and lucrative.
Listed Corporations
In collaboration with boards and shareholder teams, we provide invaluable insights and guidance on shareholder dynamics as major events unfold. We deliver novel information with the ultimate goal of safeguarding corporate interests and removing potential share price volatility.
Why event-driven?
Balancing corporate and stakeholder dynamics
Now, more than ever, corporate boards are being challenged to deliver performance and value in a harsh economic landscape, while shareholders struggle to compete with the rise of passive fund management. This trend shift is driving the investor community to generate alpha from more complex opportunities.
True outperformance can be found in event-driven opportunities, which need to be navigated with a mutual understanding of the goals and desires of all parties. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
MKP is one of the few service providers offering truly unconflicted, independent advice to facilitate the essential joined-up understanding needed for mutual success.
