MVC & Partners
MVC & Partners was established in 2008 by a group of professionals with backgrounds in international financial consulting. Claudio Carcaterra and Massimo Valsangiacomo remain controlling shareholders and board members. The firm operates two Swiss offices and serves clients holding complex cross-border portfolios. Investment activity spans private equity, real estate, private credit, secondaries and direct co-investments. The firm also allocates through fund-of-funds vehicles and distressed situations. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and South America. No individual portfolio holdings are publicly identified. Risk monitoring and cost negotiation with depositary banks form core elements of the mandate execution. The team includes six named partners and directors. An additional vehicle, Heim Real Estate SA, holds mixed-use property in Locarno. INSA Software supports portfolio consolidation across multiple custodians. No operational events from the past 24 months appear in available records. Independence from external financial groups constitutes the central structural feature. Ownership remains with the founding partners, who also serve as day-to-day administrators. This arrangement removes third-party product incentives from advice delivered to clients.
