MHR Fund Management

MHR Fund Management is a New York-based private equity firm specializing in distressed and undervalued middle-market companies. Founded in 1996 by Mark H. Rachesky, M.D., the firm manages over $5 billion in assets and employs a value-oriented, flexible approach to investing. MHR focuses on complex, middle-market special situations, seeking to create value through strategic partnerships and hands-on management.

The firm's investment strategy centers on identifying mispriced opportunities with asymmetric risk/reward potential, particularly in the entertainment, communications, and energy sectors. MHR's approach involves accumulating positions of influence or control, navigating complexity, and creating significant value post-investment. The firm has a history of notable investments, including Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation, Titan Tire Corporation, Leap Wireless, and Loral Space & Communications.

MHR Fund Management's philosophy emphasizes a disciplined, hands-on management style, aiming to build differentiated, less correlated portfolios. The firm seeks to add value as a partner, not just as a capital provider, by working collaboratively with its portfolio companies and management teams to drive growth and operational improvements.
