Who we are
Life at Hg
Hg is one of the world’s leading software and services investors, with offices in London, Munich, New York, Paris and San Francisco. Having an environment that allows people to thrive, we employ a diverse set of professionals, representing 48 different nationalities and manage over $65billion in funds for institutional and private investors. We have a strong track record in developing high performance businesses and high performing people.
Our company culture is the foundation of our success
When we asked our people to describe the people who work at Hg, the key themes that came through were: curious, entrepreneurial, collaborative and successful. Whilst the words may be familiar, the environment is unique. Like a fingerprint, our culture may share similarities with others, but it is uniquely distinct to us.
Culture
The culture of Hg is much more like a tech company than a traditional PE firm, that is what makes it so special. It enables us to attract some of the best talent, and management teams, and invest in these individuals for the long term.
Values
We build Hg together by living our values. We have embedded our values into the company ethos, such as they inform our actions every day. They guide us in our work within our teams and partnerships. Our four cornerstones are: Be Genuine, Go Beyond, Outlearn and Win Right.
Development
We empower everyone across the business to take control of their own career and personal development and encourage curiosity. This could be connecting with a mentor, being involved in one of our internal and external learning programmes or working collaboratively across fund and teams – we love to leverage our best in class expertise across the firm and this is what makes us unique.
Environment
We truly believe that by creating a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected is crucial in helping our people to thrive. This ultimately drives better outcomes for our investments and, in turn, our investors.
"Diversity is essential and possibly the top priority for our firm"
- Nic Humphries, Senior Partner
Not only is it fundamentally the right thing to do, we have seen first-hand how diversity and inclusion creates a virtuous cycle: the more diverse we are, the better ideas we have; the more inclusive we are, the more likely the best outcome is achieved. Our vision is simple, we aim to have a fully inclusive culture and environment at Hg, where all diversity is welcomed, encouraged and celebrated. We will not settle until everyone can bring their best and whole self to work.
