H.I.G. Capital is a global alternative investment firm managing $74 billion in assets across multiple strategies, with over 500 investment professionals operating from 19 worldwide offices. Founded in 1993, the firm has completed more than 2,500 transactions and maintains a deliberate focus on the mid-market segment, where it partners with management teams to execute control investments, management-backed recapitalizations, industry consolidations, and minority stakes.
The firm's portfolio spans private equity, growth equity, direct lending, special situations credit, real estate, infrastructure, and growth-stage healthcare. Its private equity strategy targets middle-market enterprises with attractive products, favorable growth prospects, and proven management teams. The firm prioritizes alignment by favoring management teams that take significant equity ownership, embedding incentives for long-term value creation rather than short-term distributions.
H.I.G. Capital's approach emphasizes operational improvement and market consolidation. The firm works alongside portfolio companies to establish market-leading positions and build stronger businesses through structured expertise, moving beyond passive capital provision. This operating-focused model, combined with scale across asset classes and geographies, positions the firm to identify and execute complex transactions in the mid-market where fewer competitors operate at institutional depth.
