Overview
MIO Partners manages retirement and after-tax investments for McKinsey employees and alumni by overseeing funds offered in the McKinsey retirement plan and related alternative investments. Investors pick from funds within these accounts, and MIO administers them on an at-cost basis to save time and simplify access. Unlike typical asset managers, MIO does not take profits for itself or McKinsey, keeping incentives aligned through significant management participation in the funds and a focus on the McKinsey community. Its goal is to provide convenient, professional investment management with low costs that align with investors’ interests.
