Company Overview

HgT provides investors with a unique opportunity to participate in the growth in value of a portfolio of c.50 private companies sourced by Hg. Value is created through implementing an investment strategy focused on software and business service companies with resilient, recurring revenue streams and from leveraging the network and expertise of Hg to support management teams to deliver the full potential of their respective businesses. With highly predictable and stable cash flows, the top 20 businesses (representing 76% by value of HGT’s investments) reported aggregate sales of £10.6 billion and EBITDA of £3.3 billion over the last 12 months, equating to an EBITDA margin of 31%. Hg brings to HgT an experienced team of c.400 employees, including c. 240 investment and portfolio management professionals, supported by a network of portfolio partners, all of them seasoned senior managers from across industry, who work with the management teams of the companies in which we are invested to create value for shareholders. At the centre of this network, Hg builds and shares knowledge and expertise by facilitating the active collaboration of management teams across sector clusters and geographies. HgT’s funds are invested pro rata alongside those of Hg’s other institutional clients. This enables shareholders to invest, on similar terms, alongside some of the world’s largest investors in private equity, in high-growth private companies, which would otherwise be inaccessible. This allows HgT to achieve diversification across markets and geographies and gain exposure to fast growing portfolio companies at different stages of their development and size from an enterprise value of £100 million to over £10 billion.
