Why Hg Wealth Exists — Expanding Access to Institutional Private Equity

Hg Wealth was created to meet growing demand from family offices and private investors seeking exposure to high-quality, mission-critical software businesses — through a structure designed for flexibility, liquidity and long-term growth.

“It’s exciting to be in a market which is just opening up, so we are here for the long term.” Justin von Simson, Managing Partner of Hg, introduces Hg Wealth in a short video.
