About Star Mountain

With approximately $4 billion in assets under management (committed capital including debt facilities as of 1/31/2024), Star Mountain takes a data-driven approach to investing into the North American lower middle-market through two complementary investment strategies: (i) direct debt and equity investing and (ii) secondaries (acquiring LP interests and direct assets and making primary LP commitments). Star Mountain believes these complementary strategies provide data-enhanced, scalable, diversified, and customizable access for its institutional and qualifying high-net-worth investors to established businesses that generally have at least $15 million in annual revenues and under $50 million in EBITDA. Its investors include public pensions, private pensions, insurance companies, commercial banks, endowments, foundations, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Star Mountain is 100% employee-owned and shares its profits with 100% of its U.S. full-time employees as part of its focus on maximizing value for its stakeholders and investors through alignment of interests.

Since 2010, Star Mountain has made over 200 direct investments in businesses and over 40 secondary / fund investments within its Collaborative Ecosystem®, focused on the North American lower middle-market. One of Star Mountain's specialties is seeking current cash income for investors that is materially above the typical yields found in the public markets, often accompanied with potential long-term capital gains equity returns and low correlation to public markets through its distinctive origination, underwriting and value-added investment capabilities.

Crain's two-part survey process consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part involved an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

To be named to P&I's Best Places list, all firms met Best Companies' high threshold for inclusion and were evaluated against others of similar size. Individual firm profiles, which were compiled based on survey results, reflect U.S. employment numbers and were confirmed by Best Companies in the summer. Company and employee comments were edited for space, style and clarity. Assets under management or advisement are as of June 30, unless otherwise noted. To participate, companies had to have at least 20 employees in the U.S., at least $100 million of discretionary assets under management or advisement and be in business for at least one year. An anonymous employee survey, which aimed to evaluate employee engagement and satisfaction, accounted for 75% of a firm's score; an employer survey, which evaluated workplace policies, practices, benefits and demographics, made up 25%. https://bestcompaniesgroup.com/best-places-to-work-in-money-management/eligibility/ (https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fbestcompaniesgroup.com%252Fbest-places-to-work-in-money-management%252Feligibility%252F%26data%3D05%257C01%257CRyan.McGovern%2540starmountaincapital.com%257Ccd4aa76a40304bb25f4d08da95ac24b7%257Ccd42ad31bf24456991e9e4e961d2a99c%257C0%257C0%257C637986863869262858%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%253D%257C3000%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DCqlKr1Ax8O5iIkGfL%252Fw18aWzzjEHzSDwDLMItI377hA%253D%26reserved%3D0&esheet=53892772&newsitemid=20240206078216&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fbestcompaniesgroup.com%2Fbest-places-to-work-in-money-management%2Feligibility%2F&index=10&md5=69048d30d7a4cf73ecf8130513cc30b3)
