The committee is comprised of select representatives from a diverse group of disciplines, including Human Resources, Asset Management, Development, and Finance.

MCA is governed by a series of policies, procedures, best practices, which confirms to clients, partners, and stakeholders that MCA maintains sound corporate governance.

MCA recognizes the significant contributions of employees. MCA believes a fairly compensated and well-trained workforce will provide best-in-class services which will enhance the value of the fund’s investments.

MCA strives for high levels of employee engagement and embodies a “value add” culture which attracts and retains high-performance talent.
