McKenna Capital, a division of McKenna & Associates, LLC, is sector agnostic as we invest and manage our proprietary capital across various asset classes. We identify investment opportunities through a holistic analytical framework that focuses on seven distinct criteria:
- a clearly articulated vision or thesis;
- leadership and governance;
- multiple avenues of growth;
- competitiveness and economic moat;
- industry tailwinds;
- valuation and minimum returns; and
- direct ownership.
We also work side-by-side with top-tier investment managers, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals to further advance our investment strategies.
Building upon and drawing from McKenna & Associates’ highly successful advisory practice, McKenna Capital takes an active role in supporting the management teams of our portfolio companies to create value. Recent investments include:
