Hg Wealth managed by Hg
Your Wealth, Our Expertise
Hg is a leading global private markets investor
We are a specialist investor, together building enduring software and services leaders, that transform how people work. Hg started life as part of Mercury Asset Management in the 1990s, before the firm was acquired by Merill Lynch Asset Management in 1997. Finally, in 2000, we span out to be 100% owned by our equity partners, and still are today.
Today, Hg is one of the leading transatlantic software investors, the third largest private equity firm in Europe and 10th globally with c.$85bn assets under management. We manage a portfolio of over 50 software and services companies with an aggregate enterprise value of over $160 billion, growing earnings at over 20% per annum.
We have a global reach with offices in London, Munich, New York, San Francisco, Paris and Singapore. We have made c.200 investments since inception and currently have a portfolio of over 50 software and services companies, which are growing revenues and EBITDA annually at 20%+ compound year-on-year.
We believe the traditional ’60/40’ approach, where investors seek to allocate 60% of their portfolio to public equities and 40% to bonds, closes investors off from large parts of the global economy. Today, private investors can benefit from new alternative investment structures to diversify their portfolio beyond simply public equities and bonds.
