A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. Mill City Capital states that it will take either a controlling or a minority stake. Nothing here is a commitment by Mill City Capital to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.

Regulatory record

How Mill City Capital is registered

From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.

Adviser statusExempt reporting adviser
Regulatory assets under managementNot reported by an ERA
Private funds advised3 · $67m gross
SEC adviser numberCRD 162652

An exempt reporting adviser is not required to report regulatory assets under management, so the blank above means the question was not asked rather than that the answer is unknown. Where a figure exists it is the gross asset value of the private funds the firm advises, which is a different and usually larger measure.
