Why Hg Wealth Exists — Expanding Access to Institutional Private Equity

Hg Wealth was created for private investors who want exposure to what we believe is one of the most compelling long-term opportunities in private markets: mission-critical software, actively transformed by AI.

AI is redefining what mission-critical software can do. Hg Wealth was created so private investors can participate in that shift. Through Hg Wealth, eligible private investors can gain exposure to this transformation.

Our portfolio companies don't just benefit from AI as a trend; they are being reshaped by it. With dedicated Hg resources driving product innovation, operational improvement, and new revenue streams the value of these businesses continues to compound. Our portfolio companies are not just adapting to AI. They are leading the shift.
