THE COMPANY BEHIND THE TICKER
HgCapital Trust plc (2017) strategically allocates capital to a diverse range of opportunities, encompassing direct investments in both publicly traded and privately held companies, as well as participations in fund-of-funds arrangements. The trust permits its entire gross asset base (100%) to be exposed to unlisted investments. However, it imposes a strict limit, ensuring that no individual direct or indirect investment in an unlisted company or closed-ended fund exceeds 15% of its gross assets. The primary focus for its direct investments lies in middle-market buyouts across the Technology, TMT, Services, and Industrials Technology sectors, targeting businesses with enterprise values between £80 million (approximately $97.43 million) and £500 million (approximately $608.95 million). It also seeks lower mid-market buyout prospects specifically within the TMT sector, focusing on companies valued from £20 million (approximately $24.35 million) to £80 million (approximately $97.43 million). Beyond these, the fund explores direct investments in hospitality (hotels, restaurants, leisure), consumer durables and apparel, various service industries, and renewable energy. Geographically, HgCapital Trust prioritizes investments within Europe, with a distinct emphasis on Northern Europe, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Benelux region, and the Nordics, alongside other European territories. The trust typically commits between £100 million (approximately $202.89 million) and £500 million (approximately $1014.45 million) to each of its portfolio companies. For its fund-of-funds segment, it specifically invests in limited partnership vehicles overseen by HgCapital. A cornerstone of its investment philosophy is to secure a majority ownership stake in the businesses it supports.
