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.

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.
