New Mountain Capital's mission is to be best in class among alternative asset managers as measured by returns, control of risk, service to our investors and the quality of the businesses we build. All of New Mountain Capital'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 Capital is a generalist firm, but also has proactively developed particular research and operational expertise in carefully selected "defensive growth" niches of education, health care, software, business services, logistics, specialty chemicals, federal services, media, consumer products, financial services and insurance, environmental services, infrastructure and energy. New Mountain Capital works systematically to establish expertise in additional sectors over time.
