Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at KCM Capital Partners?
Kent McCarthy, the firm's founder and managing partner, chairs the investment committee and leads all investment decisions. His prior experience includes founding Jayhawk Capital, a multi-strategy investment firm, giving him a cross-asset perspective that informs KCM's concentrated private equity strategy.
What is the relationship between KCM Capital Partners and Jayhawk Capital?
Jayhawk Capital is the earlier investment platform founded by Kent McCarthy, known for a multi-asset approach spanning public equities and private holdings. KCM Capital Partners represents McCarthy's dedicated private equity vehicle, drawing on relationships and sector expertise developed during the Jayhawk era but operating with a distinct lower-middle-market buyout and growth-equity mandate.
How does KCM Capital Partners source deal flow?
KCM sources opportunities primarily through proprietary networks built over McCarthy's multi-decade career. The firm's sector concentration in enterprise software, business services, and healthcare services allows it to develop repeat relationships with sub-sector intermediaries and founders. By avoiding broad auction processes, KCM aims to access transactions where operational expertise commands a seat at the negotiating table.
