MIO Partners

MIO Partners

At-cost asset management for retirement plans

Overview

MIO Partners manages retirement and after-tax investments for McKinsey employees and alumni, offering funds already available in the McKinsey retirement plan and access to additional alternative investments. It administers and oversees these investment funds on an at-cost basis, so neither MIO nor McKinsey earns a profit from the investments. Investors choose from funds within the plan or related alternatives, and MIO’s governance is aligned with investors through significant participation in the funds. The goal is to provide convenient, time-saving investment options and professional management at low cost, with incentives that match those of the investors.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • On February 10, 2026, Neuberger agreed to acquire MIO, validating its franchise.
  • Neuberger will onboard MIO’s advisory teams, preserving client relationships during the transition.
  • McKinsey launched a strategic review in early 2025, signaling demand for simplification.

What critics are saying

  • The deal needs client consent and regulators before 2026 closing, delaying integration.
  • MIO paid $18 million in 2021 for SEC compliance failures over material nonpublic information.
  • A failed close leaves McKinsey exposed to recurring conflict-of-interest scrutiny and employee distrust.

What makes MIO Partners unique

  • MIO’s $26 billion platform includes $20 billion in alternatives, rare for an internal manager.
  • Its captive client base spans McKinsey partners, employees, and alumni, creating sticky assets.
  • Decades of manager participation aligned MIO with investors, deepening trust inside McKinsey.
