Mountain Pacific Advisors, LLC

Mountain Pacific Advisors, LLC provides investment management to large, sophisticated institutions and pooled investment vehicles, including public and corporate pension plans, foundations, endowments and nonprofit organizations. The firm focuses on currency and global equity strategies and reports approximately $484,252,000 in discretionary assets under management as of December 31, 2025.

MPA’s investment approach is quantitative and risk‑focused, emphasizing forecasting and managing financial risk (including tail risk) rather than forecasting returns, and seeking scalable, alpha‑seeking, liability‑focused solutions that encode expert insights to reduce behavioral bias. The firm routinely implements strategies using derivatives and cash‑settled instruments — including futures, currency forwards and options — and discloses the specific risks associated with leveraged and over‑the‑counter currency trading.

Distinctive features noted in the brochure include explicit engagement with pension and profit‑sharing plan clients and management of pooled vehicles, an affiliate’s filing with the CFTC as an exempt commodity pool operator, and disclosure that an affiliated entity serves as investment adviser to an affiliated private fund. The firm also documents a formal referral and client‑service arrangement with a Japan‑based intermediary for Japanese investors, reflecting a combination of derivative‑based, quantitatively driven strategies and cross‑border distribution that is less common among peers.
