What Hig Inc does

H.I.G. Capital is a Miami-headquartered global alternative investment firm founded in 1993 that manages $75 billion in assets under management across private equity, growth equity, direct lending, special situations credit, real estate, infrastructure, growth-stage healthcare, and secondaries. The firm focuses on the mid-cap market segment, partnering with founders and management teams of mid-sized companies to provide growth capital, buyout investments, and operational support that larger firms typically do not address. Its platform spans 18 global offices with more than 500 dedicated investment professionals and has executed over 2,500 transactions across approximately 400 past and present portfolio companies.

The firm operates through dedicated sub-brands that align to each strategy: H.I.G. Private Equity and H.I.G. Growth for equity capital, Whitehorse Finance (including a publicly listed NASDAQ BDC under ticker WHF) for direct lending, Bayside for special situations, H.I.G. Realty for real estate, H.I.G. Infrastructure for infrastructure, HealthBridge for growth-stage healthcare, and GPS Solutions for secondaries. H.I.G. Europe and H.I.G. Latin America provide regional execution in those geographies. Distribution is direct: the firm maintains relationships with institutional investors, endowments, pension funds, and family offices through its own investment and investor relations teams rather than third-party placement agents.

H.I.G. generates revenue through two streams: recurring management fees on AUM across its strategies and performance-based carried interest on successful portfolio exits. The firm is privately held (H.I.G. Capital, LLC) and does not disclose revenue. Recent activity in July 2026 — the acquisition of Avove, a growth investment in Rewind via H.I.G. Growth, and the signed agreement to sell JT Thorpe — illustrates the active rotation of capital across the platform.
