MIO (and related entities) is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of McKinsey & Company and was formed in the early 1980s to provide asset management services for McKinsey’s retirement plan. Over time, we have expanded to support after-tax investments by McKinsey’s current and former partners, primarily by making available funds already offered in the retirement plan. Our aim was to provide partners with convenient, time-saving investment options, including access to alternative investments. Today, we are a company of approximately 200 people managing retirement and after-tax investments for roughly 30,000 current and former McKinsey employees. A key element of our operating model is that we operate at-cost, generating no profit for either MIO or McKinsey. Our incentives are aligned with those of our investors due to significant management participation in the funds.
